My 4-year-old daughter Salma is attending her first classes in kindergarten. Miss Zainab, her respectful teacher, taught her how to write the alphabet in both Arabic and English, as well as how to draw some interesting objects: a duck, a bird, and a watermelon. Salma started practicing and training on exploring her new world of figures,alphabet, and simple objects. She started drawing them on her notebook; then her experience shifted gorgeously to drawing on the white walls of our apartment.
(Do they not know that it is Allah Who accepts the repentance of His servants and receives (approves their) charity, and that Allah is the Relenting, the Compassionate?) (At-Tawbah 9:104)
(Allah accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; it is they whom Allah will forgive and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.) (An-Nisaa´ 4:17)
“the best of them are the oft-repenting.” (Say: “O My servants who wronged against their souls, do not despair of Allah’s mercy! For Allah forgives all sins; for He is indeed Forgiving, Compassionate.”) (Az-Zumar 39:53)
(And turn to Allah all of you, O believers! so that you may be successful.) (An-Nur 24:31)
Nevertheless, what if there is no way that a person will repent? What if there is not the least chance that he will apologize, repent to Allah, and seek His forgiveness? |
