Seeking Forgiveness...

It was the following.....

“Verily Man was created very impatient. Irritable when evil touches him, and stingy when good touches him…
Except those who are devoted to Salaah. Those who remain constant in their salaah."

Al-Ma'aarij Verses 19-23


But i guess i shall seek comfort in the following...

From Anas, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:

"Allah the Almighty has said: 'O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and hope in Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds in the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with an earthful of sins and were you then to face Me, without having associated anything with Me, I shall grant you an earthful of pardon.'"

[Recorded by Al-Tirmidhi, who said that it is a good and sound hadith]


The enemy within is making life that little bit tricky... It's easy to want to change, but making the change permanent, it's tough.
