Are you a Murderer?

Are you a Murderer?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allah.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

​​You’re a murderer. You’re a thief. You commit adultery. You don’t pray. No matter ANYTHING, do not despair of your Lord’s Mercy. He forgives all sins.

Read what it says in the Quran:

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

​{Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”}

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
أُولَٰئِكَ جَزَاؤُهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَجَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ

​{And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins — and who can forgive sins except Allah ? — and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.


Those — their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the reward of the workers.}

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

{Except for those who repent, believe, and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.}

These are interpretation of meanings of verses from the Quran, the direct words of Allah. But our Prophet peace be upon him said, in his words, that Allah said:

“O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you.”
[It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound.]

And you go, “seriously?” Yes, seriously.

O Allah, you are Forgiving. You love forgiveness. So, forgive me.

If you’ve wronged someone and taken his rights, in addition to seeking Allah’s forgiveness, you should deal with that person, give back his right.

Allah knows Best.
