Fatimiyyah Lecture 2

Title: The Quran's Discussion on Forgiveness
Quote: "Allah (S.W.T) is saying: forgive one another. Don't you want me to forgive you?"

Recap of last lecture: Mizan is not as simple as we think; the value of your actions is not in terms of years and numbers, it is in terms of Haq. Angels see your actions in depth.

Instinct of Forgiveness:
-If two brothers have a disagreement and a Friday comes and goes, All-h's anger and punishment comes upon them. Some hadiths say that its past three days.
-If you were to forgive, the amount of lightness is unparalelled. You are taking the weight off your shoulder.
-We would not want Gheebah to be done about us, then why do we commit the sin? We sometimes do it in subtly.
-Why are we spreading it? Why aren't we containing it?
-We need to be careful that we do not utter things in gest and in passing and is burning that persons life. 

Seeking forgiveness when it comes to our personal relationship with All-h (S.W.T.): 
-As far of Allah is concerned, it is easy to get his forgiveness.
-Allah is thawab. Tawba of the normal people is because of their sinning. Tawa of the people who are mumineen is because of sinning and negligience of their duty. There is always a need to turn back to him.
-"All-h says: I guarantee you Tawba. Be sorry and ask, I forgive you."
-"If you do want to do a good thing, even though it is the intention, I reward you for it. When you put it into action, I give you 10 times the reward."

Takfir: to cover. We can turn up with outstanding matters on Qiyamat, but All-h will remove them. With them around our neck, we cannot move. 
-If you have these things, All-h will remove your sins: 
-If you stay away from major sins, All-h will eliminate everything else. 
-You want to eradicate your evil sins? Do it with good acts. 
-Tawba is not complete until you make it right. 

"Whoever dies without cognissance of the Imam of his time dies the death of ignorance." - Hadith. 
-We can't say everyone is good. We have to state the facts and analyze history in a realistic, objective way.
