Elements that will Help in Repentance – Dr Zakir Naik
Epi_11_07
Yusuf Chambers: What are the special elements which go together to make a sincere repentance?
Dr. Zakir: There are 4 things required. No. 1 a person should realize the power of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, His power and His greatness that if He wants to punish you, He can punish you immediately. So this would make a person repent and we should not look at the minuteness of our sin, we should look at the greatness, forgiveness of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
As Allah says in the Quran in Surah Nooh ch. no. 71 verse no. 13 and 14, Allah says that
“What has happened to you? don’t you have hope in the kindness and forgiveness of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala that He created you in different stages”
So if you know the mightiness of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and He is going to forgive you, InshaAllah you will repent.
No. 2 everyone should realize that one day he is going to die and he is going to go in his grave.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Ale Imran ch. no. 3 verse no. 185
“Kullu nafsin tha-iqatu almawt”
“Every soul shall have a taste of death and on the Day of Judgment shall be the full recompense”
That means everyone has to die but the final Hisaab-Kitaab…the final recompense will be on the Day of Judgment.
And Allah says in the Quran in Surah Luqman ch. no. 31 verse no. 34 that
“No one knows what will he earn tomorrow and no one knows in which land will he die”
So you have to realize that every one has to die and we don’t know that when will that time come. So that will help us in repenting as soon as possible, we don’t know when is our last hour.
The third point is that all then rewards for this world and the Aakhira is based on your deeds for your Aakhira. What you are going to do for your Aakhira. The deeds for you aakhira will actually reward you in this world and the Aakhira. That is very important.
And Allah says in the Quran in Surah Fatir ch. 35 verse no. 5 that
“The Promise of Allah is true and let not the present world deceive you and let not the chief deceiver deceive you against Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala”
That means we have to be careful of all our acts an deeds should basically target about the Aakhira, about the hereafter.
And there is a Hadith mentioned in Tirmidhi (Book of Zuhd) Hadith no. 2320 where the beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), said that
“This world for Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala is equivalent to the wing of a fly and Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala would not allow a disbeliever even to have handful of water from it”
This world in comparison to the hereafter is like a wing of a fly and He would not allow a disbeliever even to have a handful of water.
A similar message is given in Sahih Muslim Vol. no. 4 in the Book of Paradise Hadith no. 6483 where the beloved Prophet said that
“In the sight of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala this world as compared to the hereafter is like a person putting his finger, the forefinger into the ocean and when he gets it out whatever is stuck to the forefinger is like he present world”
The present world is just, hardly some little water that gets stuck to the forefinger that’s equivalent as compared to the mighty ocean i.e. the hereafter. So, so little is the significance of is world as compared to the hereafter. So therefore we should we should realize that this life is a test for the hereafter, …
