I Want to Repent, But ... [Islam View]
One God ,One Human Race, So Almighty God has not given rights to any Individual or group who ever may be to destroy his beautiful creation of human race in name of religion, caste, tribes etc. So every one of us should condemn and fight together all kinds of terrorism and extremism. Let's join our hands to gather and spread message of peace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Praise be to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help. Whomever Allah guides cannot be led astray, and whomever He leaves astray, cannot be guided. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Allah has commanded all the believers to repent, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): "… And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful." [al-Noor 24:31]
People may be divided into two types, those who repent and turn to Allah, and those who do wrong; there is no third category. Allah 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 Allah
However, Allah 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 Allah, 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.
Following an introduction which discusses the dangers of taking sin lightly, I then explain the conditions of repentance, psychological cures, and fataawa (rulings) based on evidence from the Qur'aan and Sunnah which are addressed to those who repent. This is followed by quotations from some of the scholars' comments, and my own concluding remarks.
I ask Allah to benefit me and my Muslim brothers through these words. I ask no more from my brothers than that they should pray for me and offer me sincere advice (naseehah). May Allah accept the repentance of us all.
The Danger of taking sin lightly
You should know, may Allah have mercy on me and on you, that Allah has commanded His slaves to repent sincerely and has made doing so obligatory. He says (interpretation of the meaning): "O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance…" [al-Tahreem 66:8].
Allah has given us time to repent before the honourable scribes (kiraaman kaatibeen – recording angels) record our deeds. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The (scribe) on the left hand raises his pen (i.e., delays writing) for six hours [this may refer to six hours of 60 minutes as measured by astronomers, or it may refer to short periods of time during the day or night – Lisaan al-‘Arab] before he records the sinful deed of a Muslim. If he regrets it and seeks Allah's forgiveness, the deed is not recorded, otherwise it is recorded as one deed." (Reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer and al-Bayhaqi inShu'ab al-Eemaan (The Branches of Faith); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah, 1209). A further respite is granted after the deed has been recorded, up until the moment before death approaches.
The problem is that many people nowadays do not place their hope and fear in Allah They disobey Him by committing all manner of sins, day and night. There are those who are being tested by the idea of regarding sins as insignificant, so you may see one of them regarding certain "minor sins" (saghaa'ir) as inconsequential, so he might say, "What harm can it possibly do if I look at or shake hands with a (non-mahram) woman?" They think nothing of looking at women in magazines and on TV shows. Some of them, when they are told that this is haraam, may even facetiously ask, "So how bad can it be? Is it a major sin (kabeerah) or a minor sin (sagheerah)?" Compare this attitude with that reflected in the following reports narrated by Imaam al-Bukhaari (may Allah have mercy on him):
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You do things which in your eyes are less significant than a hair, but at the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we used to count them as things that could destroy a man."
Ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The believer regards his sin as if he were sitting beneath a mountain which he fears may fall on him, whereas the sinner regards his sin as if a fly lands on his nose and he swipes it away."
Will these people then understand the seriousness of the matter when they read the following hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? "Beware of the minor sins which are often thought of as insignificant, for they are like a group of people who stopped in the bottom of a valley. One of them brought a stick, and another brought a stick, until they had gathered enough to cook their food. These minor sins, if a person is called to account for them, will destroy him." According to another report, he said: "Beware of minor sins, for they will pile up until they destroy a person." (Reported by Ahmad; Saheeh al-Jaami', 2686-2687).
The scholars said that when minor sins are accompanied by a lack of shame or remorse, and with no fear of Allah, and are taken lightly, then there is the risk that they will be counted as major sins. Hence it is said that no minor sin is minor if you persist, and no major sin is major if you keep on seeking forgiveness.
So we say to the one who is in this situation: Do not think about whether the sin is major or minor; think about the One Whom you are disobeying.
In sha Allah, these words will benefit those who are sincere, and who are aware of their sins and shortcomings, and do not insist upon doing wrong and adhering to their faults.
These words are for those who believe in the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning): "Declare (O Muhammad) unto My slaves, that truly, I am the oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful." [al-Hijr 15:49] and in His words "And that My Torment is indeed the most painful torment." [al-Hijr 15:50]. It is essential to keep this balanced view in mind.
Conditions for the acceptance of repentance
The word tawbah ("repentance") conveys a profound meaning, one which carries great implications. It is not, as many people think, the matter of mere lip-service, after uttering which a person may then continue in his sin. If you ponder the meaning of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): "… Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance…" [Hood 11:3], you will see that repentance is something which is over and above seeking for forgiveness.
Such a great and important matter must necessarily have conditions attached to it. The scholars have described the conditions of repentance, based on the Qur'aan and Sunnah. They include:
Immediate cessation of the sin.
Regret for what is past
Determination not to return to the sin
Restitution of victims' rights, or seeking their forgiveness
Some scholars have also mentioned more details as conditions of sincere repentance, which we quote below with some examples:
1. That the sin should be given up only for the sake of Allah, not for any other reason, such as being unable to do it, or being afraid of what people will say.
The person who gives up his sin because of its negative impact on his reputation and standing among people, or on his work, cannot be described as one who repents.
The person who gives up his sin for reasons of health and strength, such as one who gives up promiscuity and immorality because he is afraid of contagious killer diseases, or because it weakens his body and his memory, cannot be described as one who repents.
The person who refuses to accept a bribe because he fears that the person offering it may be from the law enforcement agency, operating under cover, cannot be described as one who repents.
The one who does not drink wine or take drugs just because he does not have the money with which to buy them cannot be described as one who repents.
The one who does not commit a sin because of reasons beyond his control cannot be described as one who repents. So the liar who is robbed of the power of speech, the adulterer who becomes impotent, the thief who loses his limbs in an accident… all of them must feel remorse for what they have done and give up any wish to do it again. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Remorse is repentance." (Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Maajah; Saheeh al-Jaami', 6802).
In the sight of Allah, the one who is incapable of committing a deed but has the desire to do it is the same as one who does do it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are only four kinds of people in this world. (The first is) a slave whom Allah has blessed with wealth and knowledge, and he fears Allah with regard to them, and uses them to uphold family ties, and acknowledges the rights that Allah has over them. He has the highest status. (The second is) a slave to whom Allah has given knowledge, but not wealth. His intention is sincere, and he says, ‘If only I had wealth, I would do (good deeds) like so-and-so (the first slave).' He will be rewarded according to his intention, so their reward will be equal. (The third is) a slave to whom Allah has given wealth, but not knowledge. He spends his money aimlessly, neither fearing Allah with regard to it nor using it to uphold family ties nor acknowledging the rights that Allah has over it. He has the lowest status. (The fourth is) a slave to whom Allah has given neither wealth nor money. He says, ‘If only I had wealth, I would do (bad deeds) like so-and-so (the third slave). He will be punished according to his intention, so their burden of sin will be equal." (Reported by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, and classed as saheeh in Al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb, 1/9).
2. The one who repents should feel that his sin is repulsive and harmful. This means that if a person repents sincerely, he cannot derive any feelings of pleasure or enjoyment when he remembers his past sins, or wish to repeat them in the future. In his books Al-Daa' wa'l-Dawaa' and al-Fawaa'id, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentions many of the harmful effects of sin, including the following:
Loss of knowledge – feelings of alienation in the heart – difficulty in all one's affairs – physical weakness – loss of the desire to obey Allah – absence of blessing – lack of success by the help of Allah (tawfeeq) – tightness in the chest, i.e., unhappiness – generation of evil deeds – habituation to sin – disgrace in the sight of Allah – disgrace in the sight of people – the curse of the animals – the dress of shame – sealing of the heart and being included in the curse of Allah – not having du'aa's answered – corruption on land and on sea – lack of self-respect or honour – loss of a sense of shame – loss of blessings – incurring the wrath of Allah – feelings of alarm and dismay in the heart of the sinner – falling into the clutches of Shaytaan – an unhappy end – the punishment of the Hereafter.
This description of the harmful consequences of sin would make anyone want to keep away from sin altogether, but some people no sooner give up one kind of sin but they fall prey to another kind, for numerous reasons, including the following:
They think the new sin is less serious
They have a greater inclination towards it, and their desire for it is stronger
Because circumstances are more conducive to this sin than others, which may require more effort; the means of committing it are readily available and widespread
His friends are all committing this sin, and it is too hard for him to separate himself from them
Because the sin is a means of gaining status among his companions, and he is not willing to give up his status, so he continues in his sin. This is what happens to some of those who are in positions of what may be described as gang leadership. Such a thing happened to the shameless poet Abu Nawaas, when (another poet) Abu'l-‘Ataahiyah sought to advise him concerning some of his sins. Abu Nawaas responded:
"Do you see me, O ‘Ataahi, giving up these amusements,
Do you see me losing my status among my people for a life of piety?"
The slave should hasten to repent, because delay is in itself a sin for which repentance is required.
He should have the fear that his repentance may have been lacking in some way, and he should not assume that it has been accepted, so he cannot remain complacent or feel secure against the Plan of Allah
He should make up for duties that he has neglected in the past, such as payment of zakaat which he withheld in the past – because it is due to Allah and it is the right of the poor – and so on.
He should avoid the place where the sin was committed if his presence there will lead to him committing the same sin again.
He should shun those who helped him to commit the sin.
(The above is taken from Fawaa'id hadeeth qaatil al-mi'ah (what we can learn from the hadeeth about the one who killed a hundred people), which we will quote below).
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Friends on that Day will be foes one to another, except al-muttaqoon (the pious)." [al-Zukhruf 43:67]
Bad friends will curse one another on the Day of Judgement, which is why when you repent, you should keep away from them, shun them, and warn others about them if they do not respond to your da'wah and advice. You should not let Shaytaan tempt you to go back to them on the grounds that you want to advise them, especially when you know yourself to be weak and unable to resist this temptation. There are many cases of people falling back into sin because they went back to the company of bad friends.
He should destroy the haraam things in his possession, such as alcoholic drinks, musical instruments (like ‘ood – a stringed instrument - and mizmaar – a wind instrument), haraam pictures and films, worthless literature and statues. They should be broken, destroyed and burnt. This getting rid of all the trappings of jaahiliyyah at the point of turning over a new leaf is absolutely essential. How often has the keeping of such things been the cause of their owners reneging on their repentance and going astray after having been guided! May Allah help us to remain steadfast.
He should choose righteous friends who will help him, instead of those bad friends. He should strive to attend gatherings where Allah is remembered and where he may gain more knowledge. He should fill his time with worthwhile pursuits so that Shaytaan will not find ways to remind him of the past.
He should rebuild his body which has been fed on unlawful things, by obeying Allah and striving to nourish it with only lawful things, so that it will become strong.
He should repent before the death-rattle appears in his throat (i.e., before death is imminent), and before the sun rises in the West [one of the major Signs of the Day of Judgement], as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever repents before the death rattle reaches his throat, Allah will accept it from him" (reported by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, Saheeh al-Jaami', 6132) and "Whoever repents before the sun rises in the West, Allah will accept his repentance" (reported by Muslim).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repentance wipes out whatever came before it
One might say: "I want to repent, but who can guarantee that Allah will forgive me if I do so? I want to follow the Straight Path, but I feel very hesitant. If I knew for sure that Allah would forgive me, I would definitely repent."
I would say in response that these feelings of hesitation are the same as those experienced by the Sahaabah themselves. If you think seriously about the following two reports, the feelings you have will be dispelled, in sha Allah
Imaam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) reported the story of how ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Islam: "…When Allah put the love of Islam into my heart, I came to the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: ‘Stretch forth your hand so that I may give bay'ah (pledge of allegiance) to you. He stretched forth his hand, but I pulled my own hand back. He asked, ‘What is the matter, O ‘Amr?' I said, ‘There is a condition.' He asked, ‘What is the condition?' I said: ‘That I be forgiven.' He said: ‘Do you not know, O ‘Amr, that Islam wipes out whatever came before, hijrah (migration for the sake of Allah) wipes out whatever came before, and Hajj wipes out whatever came before?'"
Imaam Muslim reported from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that some people among the mushrikeen killed, and killed a great deal, and they committed adultery, and did it a great deal. Then they came to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "What you say and advocate is good, if only you could tell us that there is any expiation for what we have done." Then Allah revealed the words (interpretation of the meanings): "And those who invoke not any other god along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse – and whoever does this shall receive the punishment." [al-Furqaan 25:68]; "Say: ‘O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah…" [al-Zumar 39:53].
Will Allah forgive me?
You might say: "I want to repent, but my sins are many indeed. There is no kind of immoral act, no kind of sin, imaginable or otherwise, that I have not committed. It is so bad that I do not know if Allah can forgive me for the things that I have done over the years."
In response, I would tell you that this is not a unique problem; it is one that is shared by many of those who wish to repent. Let me give you the example of a young man who asked this question once. He began his career of sin at a very early age, and by the time he was only seventeen, he already had a long record of committing every kind of immoral act, major and minor, with all kinds of people, old and young alike. He had even abused a little girl. Added to this was a long list of thefts. Then he said: "I have repented to Allah I now pray tahajjud some nights, and I fast every Monday and Thursday, and I read Qur'aan after Fajr prayers. Will my repentance be of any avail?"
The guiding principle for us Muslims is to refer to the Qur'aan and Sunnah when we look for rulings, solutions and remedies. When we refer this matter to the Qur'aan, we find that Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Say: ‘O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And turn in repentance and in obedience with true faith to your Lord and submit to Him…" [al-Zumar 39:53-54].
This is the answer to this particular problem. The matter is quite clear and needs no further explanation.
The feeling that one's sins are too great to be forgiven by Allah stems from a number of factors:
The absence of certain faith on the part of the slave in the vastness of Allah's mercy
A lack of faith in the ability of Allah to forgive all sins
Weakness in one aspect of the heart's action, namely hope
Failure to understand the effect of repentance in wiping out sins
We will answer all these points here:
It is sufficient to quote the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning): "… and My Mercy embraces all things…" [al-A'raaf 7:156]
It is sufficient to quote the saheeh hadeeth qudsi: "Allah says: "Whoever knows that I am able to forgive all sins, I shall forgive him, and I shall not mind, so long as he does not associate anything with Me.'" (Reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, and by al-Haakim; Saheeh al-Jaami', 4330). This refers to when the slave meets his Lord in the Hereafter.
This may be remedied by referring to the hadeeth qudsi: " ‘O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I will forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky, and you were to ask me for forgiveness, I will forgive you and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, if you were to come to Me with sins nearly the size of the earth, and you were to meet Me not associating anything with Me, then I would bring you forgiveness nearly the size of (the earth).'" (Reported by al-Tirmidhi; Saheeh al-Jaami', 4338).
It is sufficient to quote the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "The one who repents from his sin is like the one who did not sin in the first place." (Reported by Ibn Maajah; Saheeh al-Jaami', 3008).
For those who find it hard to comprehend how Allah may forgive such an accumulation of sin, we quote the following hadeeth:
About the Author
[My prayers and my rites, my living and my dying are for Allah alone the Creator & Sustainer of Heaven and Earth]
Nasir Pasha.
What more do i need to do to be a lead guitar player????
Ive been playing guitar solidly for about 2 and half years. ive got heaps off things down. i can alternate pick fast, i can hammer-on, pull-off, bends, vibratos, i can improvise solos on the pentatonic scales and in different modes (lydian, phyrgian ETC....), i have a Gibson Flying V, and a Marshall AVt50x. i don't have any pedals so i was planning to master the wah wah.
THe only thing i have problems with is speed and some times strength on my fret hand. for example the chorus/second intro riff from Pantera's Cowboys From Hell is too quick for my hands to cope.. as is Guns N' Roses paradise city Solo when the song goes into double time.
What exercises should i do to build speed, and what else is it essential that i learn to do to become a half decent lead guitarist.?????
if you know the basics and theory, which it sounds like you do, you need to develop your own feel/technique. that being said, if you cant play exactly what Dimebag Darrell or Slash plays then that doesnt mean you wont be any good as a lead player. ive been playing 5 years and i answered this post because funny enough you said paradise city is a hard one for you, i only got it nailed down in the last few weeks, after 5 years! (i didnt work at it every day but, as youve already found im sure from learning hard licks, it takes a while for you to train your fingers to play what youre reading/hearing AND get into the flow of playing exactly as other guitarists play it.)
it sounds like you and I have similar tastes in music so I'll use Gunners and Pantera as references to what i'm explaining.
You said your problems are with speed and fret-hand strength. youve probably already made a good start with trying to mimic Dimebags stuff because he had massive thumb-pinky stretch and had the strength to perform bends and vibratos etc at the same time. Keep that up. Cowboys from Hell is a good example. Sweet Child o' Mine solo has timeless classic blues scale licks and bends in it so you can't go wrong there. A lot of Kirk Hammett licks such as them from Master of Puppets or Seek and Destroy, and, obviously, One, are excellent examples of double picking and tapping but great for fret-hand speed build-up too, he's not a super talented guitarist but his fretting hand is like lightning. that being said, he put some great bending techniques down on the Black Album in Enter Sandman and My Friend of Misery, and that album will also be a bit of help for when you invest in a wah pedal. Still, do not overlook Jimi Hendrix on the wah pedal, the blues minor petatonic and the twang-bar. He was God.
To sum it up, id have to repeat what i said at the top, youve got to adopt your own feel/flow of playing to be a lead guitarist, and obviously be skilled enough to write music. you can be as fast a guitarist as you want but if you sit down and try to nail paradise city or cowboys from hell in one day you probably couldnt, because youd not only have to learn the solos, youd have to teach yourself Slashs or Dimebags feel/flow.
Learning other guitarists material is not just for the sake of playing their stuff but learning their licks and feels and combining it can help you create your own style.
It can also help, in learning other guitarists material, to play the song in a music/splitting studio. that way you can slow the song down and/or break it up to learn small parts of it individually.
It can also help actually watching people who can play the solo/song so you can visually see what your fingers need to learn. You tube can help you there.
