Rewards for Repenters
سَعِيۡرٌ لَّلۡعُصَاةِ لَهَا زَفِيۡرٌ وَغَيۡظُ يَوۡمٍ يُؤۡخَذُ بِالنَّوَاصِيۡ
(For sinners there is a thundering Hell, which has thunder and the day they will be caught by the foreheads, they will be visited by wrath of Allah).
فَاِنۡ تَصۡبِرۡ عَلَي النِّيۡرَانِ فَاعۡصِهُ وَ اِلَّا كُنۡ عَنِ الۡعِصۡيَانِ قَاصِيۡ
(If you can bear the fire, then become disobedient. Otherwise, give up disobedience.)
وَفِيۡمَا قَدۡ كَسَبَتۡ مِنَ الۡخَطَايَا رَهَنۡتَ النَّفۡسَ فَاجۡهَدۡ فِي الۡخَلَاصِي
]
(Whatever sins you have committed, you have trapped your Nafs. Now you must strive for salvation.)
‘Utbah-tul-Ghulam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was in an emotional state. After recovering, he asked: O Shaykh! Will the Merciful Creator accept the repentance of a despicable person like me? He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: Why not? Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ accepts the repentance and remorse of His sinful bondman. Sayyiduna ‘Utbah-tul-Ghulam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه then made three Du’as:
1. ‘O my Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! If You have accepted my repentance and forgiven my sins, then grant me such an intellect and memory that whatever I hear from Islamic knowledge and the Holy Quran I can memorise it.
2. O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Bless me with such a pleasant voice which could soften even the heart of a hard-hearted person when he listens to my recitation of the Holy Quran.
3. O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Grant me Halal sustenance and by such means which I cannot even think about.
