I want to tell you about a trick of
shaan when you go late to work and your
boss is angry at you because you're late
and lots of people work at your office
you know what you do you avoid eye
contact and sneak into your cubicle you
don't want to S you don't want to face
him when you when you have a bad report
card and you go home to your family
you're in sixth seventh grade you got a
bad report card you sneak into the house
there's Noam alum home you sneak in and
you kind of go and you pass out you go
to
sleep right what happened in school
nothing when you disappoint someone you
avoid contact with them you avoid it's
natural in this case when we do
something Shameless when we wrong
ourselves who have we
disappointed Allah we've disappointed
Allah so naturally Shan takes advantage
of this he comes to you and me and he
says you're going to go pray now you
hypocrite you do the Shameless thing you
do this and that and now you want to go
attend a class now you want to go do you
know you should be you don't you know
you such a two-faced person so this
person says to themselves yeah I
shouldn't go pray because I'm
two-faced Shan takes advantage he
distances you from Allah and we're
embarrassed to go before Allah but the
true he does something wrong he does
something wrong and immediately what
does he do he remembers Allah
there's not even nothing
immediately then they asked Allah to
forgive for their sins and the word for
sins here comes from Z actually a tale
that which you're not proud of that that
which humiliates you something you did
that you're not proud of and they ask
Allah to forgive those embarrassing
things that they
did who's going to forgive sins if not
Allah who's going to who are you going
to go to where else you got to go who
knows the things that you and I have
done wrong except ourselves and Allah
there's way there's a lot of things in
our closet that Allah has not exposed
and only Allah knows and we have to find
the time to ask Allah to forgive this is
the the the main attribute of people
that are described that enter
J the are coming the sandwich between
mentions of J and the last thing I Shar
with you about this this this final
passage I was one time I was with my
family and we were at a mall and this
other mom her her child she was yelling
at her child this mother was yelling at
her child and the the kid's crying his
head
off and she even gave him a little you
know but you know where the child went
after he even got hit and yelled at he's
still holding on to the mother he's not
letting go everywhere else around there
are these ugly gigantic strangers he
doesn't want to deal with them even if
she's angry even if she's disappointed
even if she's upset his whole world
his whole shelter his whole protection
where is he going to go except his
mother and it made me think Subhan Allah
when you and I sin when you and I
disobey Allah where are we going to go
where else is there to go who do we turn
to we don't we don't have anywhere else
to turn so even if we disappoint our
Lord even if we fall short of the
standards he set for us the true the
hopeful of J he never loses hope in
Allah
don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah
don't you're not allowed to lose hope in
the mercy of Allah this is the attitude
we have to internalize may Allah make us
from among the may Allah make us from
those who spend when it's easy and it's
difficult may Allah make us from those
who suppress their anger may Allah make
us from those who forgive people
lovingly and pardon them pardon them out
of love of Allah may Allah make us of
those who whenever they commit an act
that is not not becoming of a Believer
they immedi mediately remember Allah and
they ask Allah to forgive their sins for
who is there to forgive the sins except
Allah may Allah protect all of us and
our families especially our youth that
are faced with all kinds of trials and
tribulations
