Benefits of Seeking Repentance – Dr Zakir Naik
Epi_11_05
Yusuf Chambers: Alhamdulillah Dr. Zakir, could you explain to us in brief or at length, depending on the answer what are the main benefits of seeking repentance during this blessed month of Ramadhaan?
Dr. Zakir: The benefits of seeking forgiveness, repentance, Tawbah is, according to Imam Rageb Iftiani, he gives three benefits for a person who repents.
Number one, it patches up the fault that a person has and he realizes the point of entry into the heart of the devil. He realizes this is the point which is weak through which the devil can enter and this makes the person more aware and evasive of the evil.
Number two is that the person he feels embarrassed and he is fearful of the Lord, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, and that brings in him the humility and the humbleness.
Number three, a person who has tasted the evil and then comes back to the good. He has the taste of both the good and evil. He has the taste of sweet as well as the bitter. So when he sees other brothers, other human beings committing the same faults. He is soft towards them and he forgives them and he helps them.
According to Imam Ibn Qayyim , he gives six benefits for a person who repents.
Number one, when a person repents it is the best things that Allah loves. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala loves when a person repents and he asks for forgiveness because when a person repents, he is very close to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and you find humility and humbleness.
Number two, the act of repentance is one of the best acts of worship where Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, He realizes that His slave, that His servant, he has come to the true path, and he asks for forgiveness and he believes in Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and it makes Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, as I mentioned earlier, that more happier than a person when he finds his camel which is lost.
Number three, it brings humility and humbleness in a person so he starts believing in the Creator, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, much more than before.
Number four when the person repents his heart is broken and this is the time when Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, He hears the duas, the repentance.
As our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said, mentioned in
Ibn Maajah Volume number 3 Book of Fasting Hadith 1752 that
“Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala hears the supplication of three people, one is the just ruler or imam, second is the person who is fasting and the third is one who is oppressed”
In another Hadith it says that Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala hears the supplication of three people, who are either traveling, fasting or oppressed.
Here it indicates that all these three types of people whose hearts are broken, So Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala comes closer to the servants when the hearts are broken and Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala helps and gives them mercy.
The fifth benefit is that when a person, he repents sincerely it is one of the best forms of worship and the saying of one of the Salafs that a person “A person may commit a sin and may repent and Allah will forgive him and he can enter paradise. On the other hand a person who does good deeds, and he may have conceit and because of that he may enter hell.” That means a person may be proud that you know, that he has made no mistake, no sin and that may take him to hellfire. …
