I Want to Repent, But...

People may be divided into two types, those who repent and turn to Allaah, and those who do wrong; there is no third category. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed zaalimoon (wrong-doers, etc.).” [al-Hujuraat 49:11]. We are living in a time when many people have strayed far from the religion of Allah, and sin and immorality have become so widespread that there is no one who remains free from the taint of evil except for the one who is protected by Allaah. However, Allaah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, thus many people have awoken from the slumber of negligence. They have become aware of their failure to fulfil their duties towards Allaah, have regretted their carelessness and sin, and so have started to move towards the beacon of repentance. Others have grown weary of this wretched life of misery, and so they are looking for a way out of darkness and into the Light. But these people face many obstacles which they think stand between them and repentance, some of which exist within their own selves, and others in the world around them. For this reason I have written this brief work, hoping to clear up this confusion, dispel doubts, explain wisdom and drive away the Shaytaan.

A Hindu is wondering: Which is better, Hinduism or Islam, and why?

HOW HE TREATED THEM? How Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) treated the people around him?

Today, more than ever, individuals find themselves in desperate need of guidance, and by extension, in need of a guide to make sense of life. Over the ages, Allah, The Almighty, has sent different Prophets and Messengers to guide humanity and to provide answers to the questions confronting man. The most important features of their mission was to explain the Divine laws and exemplify Divine wisdom, and thus, serve as role-models to their nations. Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, the last Messenger of Allah, was unique in that he was not sent to a particular nation, but to humankind as a whole. As with every other Prophet, the focus of his message was that of obedience to Allah through acts of worship in word and deed. Through his personal example and guidance, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, presented humanity with a superior way of life that was founded on the worship of Allah and the beautiful values that this entails. Due to his exceptional conduct and exemplary way of dealing with others, Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, conquered hearts and minds, and his message gained ascendancy over all other nations and religious denominations. The spread of the guidance brought by Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is tangible proof that he was truly an example to be followed, for such immensely positive influence has not been the lot of any other individual throughout the history of the world. The Prophet’s unique and remarkable success is often categorized as a personal achievement, but the reality is that it is a sign of his being divinely guided. Yes, he was a remarkable human being, but the impact of his teachings was a direct result of his being guided by Allah in all he said and did.Being merciful implies extending one’s kindness, concern and consideration to others to care about them and to treat them with compassion, especially if one is in a position of authority or has control over their affairs. The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, espoused all such beautiful qualities throughout the course of delivering his message. He, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, was the epitome of all the values that he preached, and thus, inspired faith even in his most determined detractors. His words and the events of his life have all been fully recorded, and through them he continues to be present in the lives of people today, and for generations to come. This book is an attempt to compile the methods by which the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, dealt with different types of people. We have compiled various narrations in this regard, hoping that the book will serve as an eye opener for those who want to take a closer look at his conduct and morals, and explore his character in detail through narratives of his daily life.
