Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم indicated towards when he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said,‘اِتَّبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا’, i.e. ‘Follow up a sin with a good deed, it will erase it.’ (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 8, p. 92, Raqm 21460)
In another Hadith, it is stated, ‘The similitude of the one who was previously engaged in wrongdoing and then began to perform good deeds, is like the one who has tight armour on his body which constricts his neck. Then he performed a virtuous action and one link of that armour opened. Then he performed another righteous action and the second link opened (and then he continued to perform good deeds) until that tight armour opened and fell to the ground.’ (Mu’jam-e-Kabeer, vol. 17, p. 284, Raqm 783)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
How to attain steadfastness upon repentance?
Dear Islamic brothers! There is no doubt in the fact that attaining steadfastness upon performing worship and avoiding sins, is generally a difficult task. However, this difficulty is only felt until such a time that we do not see someone who adopts them with steadfastness. Therefore, if we associate ourselves with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, the religious movement of the devotees of the Prophet, then we will see many devotees of the Prophet who act upon the 72 Pious Deeds, travel in the Madani Qafilahs and have an interest in Madani Muzakarah and who are also steadfast in acts of worship collectively; through the blessings of the company of these devotees of the Prophet, we will also be successful in saving ourselves from sins. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
