Prerequisites for Allah to Accept Tawbah – Dr Zakir Naik
Epi_11_06
Yusuf Chambers: Regarding another important aspect how Allah (swt) accepts Tawbah, repentance what are the prerequisites for sincere Tawbah and could you possibly enlighten us with some Prophetic traditions of some of the Prophets making Tawbah to Allah subhanahu ta’ala?
Dr. Zakir: Allah says in the Quran in
Surah Tahreem ch. no. 66 verse no. 8 that
“Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo”
“O you who believe turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala with sincere repentance”
And there are basically 5 prerequisites for Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to accept the Tawbah
No. 1 the person should accept that the act he is doing is wrong
No. 2 he should immediately stop it
No. 3 he should seek forgiveness from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala
No. 4 he should not commit that act again
And no. 5 if he has taken something from any other human being and if he can return it, he should return it back.
For example if he has robbed some money, he should return the money back. If he has taken some wealth he should give the wealth back.
If he can undo the harm, he should do it.
And according to Ibn Qayyum, he says that repentance is accepted when the person does not do that evil act again and it further helps him to do good deeds and prevents him from going back to that act.
According to Imam An Nawawi, he says there are three prerequisites for any Tawbah to be accepted.
No. 1 he should stop the act what he is doing
No. 2 he should ask for forgiveness
No. 3 he should not do it again.
And he says that there is a 4th requirement if he has done some harm to any other human being then he should undo it if he can.
And there are various examples in the Hadith which give that how people have asked for forgiveness.
It’s mentioned in a Hadith of Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 4 in the Book of Stories of the Prophets Hadith no. 3470 that
“There was a person who had committed 99 murders so he wants to seek repentance so he asks the people that how can he do it. So they sent him to a monk. So monk says that you have killed 99 people, there is no chance of forgiveness! So that person, that murderer, he kills the monk too. And now he has committed 100 murders so he goes to another person and says that I want to seek repentance. So he says that if you want to seek repentance go to that land where people are worshipping Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and InshaAllah, you should leave the land in which you have committed the crime. And go to that land where people are seeking repentance and InshaAllah, Allah will grant you forgiveness. So he immediately goes towards that land but on his way death takes place and he dies and he turns his chest towards that village where people are repenting. Then both the angels, the angels of good and the angels of bad both come and they want to take him. The angels from the heaven say that we will take him because he wanted to repent but the angels for the bad deeds, the hell, they say No he has not committed a single good deed, we will take him. So Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala intervenes and he asks’ the village where people are repenting that it should come closer to the person who has committed murder and He commands to the place where he has committed the crime that he should go further away…
