The Holy Quran says: “Allah is the Most Gracious.” (Sura Furqan 25:7) “He is the Most Merciful”. (Sura Al-Imran 3: 92) “He is ever Merciful to the Muslims”. (Sura Baqara 2:267) “Allah’s mercy embraces all things”.
(Sura Ahzab 33:56) “The mercy of Allah is also close to those who do good.” (Sura Tawbah 9:43) “And we pray to Allah, Our Lord, grant us Your mercy”. (Sura Qalam 68:4)
Mercy of Allah is unlimited. He has given us the chance to repent and return to His grace. But as we don’t response to the call of repentance, we fail to avail Allah’s mercy and forgiveness. We should remember and be alert that the first ten days of mercy of Allah are passing!
The Holy Quran says : “Say 0 my servants, who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the mercy of Allah ; for Allah forgives all sins; for He is oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (39:53)
Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Masud (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah said, “In every night of Ramzan a proclaimer on behalf of Allah goes on proclaiming, 0 searcher of welfare, come forward and, 0 searcher of evils, go back and after this the angel says, is there any repentant, whose repentance will be accepted? Is there any seeker, whose things of seeking will be given? This proclaiming continues through every night.”
As human beings we are likely to commit error and sin. We need opportunity to repent and reform. The holy month of Ramzan gives us the chance to rectify and surrender to the Will of Allah. By doing so we could surely change our position in the Supreme Judgement of Allah.
So, we should realise our mistakes committed before and raise our hands repenting for our sins and seek Allah’s mercy. Allah’s mercy prevails over all our sins.
