REPENTANCE ... Al Fatihah to Imam Asy Syafie Rahimahumullahu Ta'ala
In the darkness of the night ...
sitting alone on my bed.
Closing my eyes
I am whispering to YOU
My beloved ....
In YOU,
The Creator,
I raise my longing, and even if I am, an evildoer, a sinner ...
O possessor of kindness and generosity,
When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow,
I took my hope in YOUR pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape., .
My sins seemed very great to me,
but when I compared them to YOUR forgiveness,
I found YOUR forgiveness to be greater.
YOU are and still remain the only One who can forgive sins,
YOU grant and forgive out of YOUR benevolence and generosity.
Perhaps the ONE who is the source of all goodness will forgive and overlook my mistakes,
and will hide the sins and burden that I accumulated,
My sins seemed very great to me,
so I turned to YOU in humility,
Were it not for my contentment in YOU, I wouldn’t,
O my Lord,
have seen any comfort at all,
So if YOU forgive me,
YOU would have forgiven a sinner,
a rebellious, oppressive tyrant still sinning,
So my crime is very great,
past and present,
But YOUR forgiveness that embraces YOUR servant is greater and higher,
So whomsoever holds fast to ALLAH is truly saved from mankind,
And whosever’s hopes are in HIM, will be far removed from any regrets.
Except those who repent and believe, and do righteous deeds, for those, Allâh will change their sins into good deeds, and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Al Furqan : 70)
