Tauba (Repentance)
Allah Ta’aala says: “O Believers! Make Tauba unto Allah; a pure Taubah.”
Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: “O people! Make Taubah unto Allah.”
We have been informed in the Hadith that the second ten days of Ramadaan are the days of Maghfirat (Forgivenss). These are the days wherein Allah Ta’aala opens His “Arms” and accepts the pleas of those seeking forgiveness and hears the cries of those who repent. These are the days when Allah Ta’aala looks with pity and compassion at the sad hearts of those who are regretting their sins. These are the days when Allah Ta’aala appreciates and accepts the resolve of those who firmly decide to shun past sins and who pledge that they will abstain from the sins in future by controlling their Nafs and combating Shaytaan.
