The Accepted Repentance

The Accepted Repentance

A man once went to Rabiah bint Ismail Al- Adawiyyah, who was known by the titles, Mother of dooness, and the famous worshiper, he said, "Indeed, I have perpetrated a great number of sins. If i repent do you think that Allah will accept my repentance?" she said, "Woe unto you! Do you not see the He invites those who turn away from him; then why wouldn't he accept the repentance of those who turn towars him?"

What she said is indeed ture, for Allah is happy when we submit to him and hasten back to him, repentance for our sins. To worship Him is purpose for which we were created. Glad tidings, then, to he who knows his purpose and puts what he knows into practice.
