Dear Brother in islam...

Shaykh El-Islam Ibn Taymiyah was asked :“How can I get rid of my sin?”

This is an important matter, for these are the means by which sin is expiated. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The punishment for sin is lifted from a person by means of ten things:

1 – Repentance; this is agreed upon among the Muslims.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):
“Say: ‘O ‘Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft?Forgiving, Most Merciful’”
[al-Zumar 39:53]

“Know they not that Allaah accepts repentance from His slaves and takes the Sadaqaat (alms, charity), and that Allaah Alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful?”

[al-Tawbah 9:104]

“And He it is Who accepts repentance from His slaves, and forgives sins”
[al-Shoora 42:25]

plz see: Conditions of tawbah (repentance) ..it would be Helpful insha` Allah..



2 – Praying for forgiveness. It was narrated in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a person commits a sin, then says, ‘O Lord, I have committed a sin so forgive me,’ He says, ‘My slave knows that he has a Lord Who may forgive sins or punish for it; I have forgiven My slave…’”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6953; Muslim, 4953)

In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated that the Prophet :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If you did not commit sin, Allaah would do away with you and bring people who would commit sins then ask Him to forgive them, so He would forgive them.”
(al-Tawbah, 4936)


3 – Doing good deeds which wipe out sins.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And perform As?Salaah (Iqaamat?as? Salaah), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Salaah (prayers)]. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins)”
[Hood 11:114]

And the Prophet :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The five daily prayers and Jumu’ah (Friday prayers) and Ramadaan take away the bad deeds between one and the next, if you avoid major sins.”
(Narrated by Muslim, 344).

And he :saw: said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan out of faith and the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 37; Muslim, 1268).

And he :saw:said: “Whoever spends the night of Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1768).

And he :saw:said: “Whoever performs Pilgrimage to this House, and does not behave in an obscene or immoral manner, he will go back free of sin like the day his mother gave birth to him.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1690).

And he :saw: said: “The expiation for the fitnah caused to a man by his family, wealth and children is prayer, fasting, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 494, Muslim, 5150).

And he :saw:said: “Whoever frees a believing slave, for each of (the slave’s) limbs Allaah will free one of his limbs from the Fire…”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2777).

These and similar ahaadeeth are narrated in the books of Saheeh. And he :saw:said: “Charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire, but hasad (malicious envy) consumes good deeds as fire consumes wood.”

4 – The du’aa’ of the believers for the believer, such as when they pray the funeral prayer for him. It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah and Anas ibn Maalik that the Prophet :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no Muslim who dies, and a group of Muslims numbering one hundred pray for him, all of them interceding for him, but their intercession for him will be accepted.”
(Narrated by Muslim, 1576).

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘There is no Muslim man who dies, and forty men pray the funeral prayer for him, not associating anything with Allaah, but Allaah will accept their intercession for him.’”
(Narrated by Muslim, 1577).
This refers to praying for him after he has died.

5 – Good deeds which can be done for the deceased, such as giving in charity (on his behalf), etc. This will benefit him, according to the clear, saheeh texts of the Sunnah and the consensus of the Imams. The same applies to freeing slaves and Hajj (on his behalf), indeed it was proven in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet:saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever dies owing any (obligatory) fasts, his heir should fast them on his behalf.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5210; Muslim, 4670).

6 – The intercession of the Prophet :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and others on the Day of Resurrection for those who have committed sins. This is narrated in the mutawaatir ahaadeeth about intercession, such as the hadeeth in which he :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “My intercession will be for those among my ummah who have committed major sins.”
(Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 3965).

And he :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I was given the choice between admitting half of my ummah to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession.”
(See Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3335).

7 – Calamities by means of which Allaah expiates sins in this world. It was narrated in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No tiredness, exhaustion, worry, grief, distress or harm befalls a believer in this world, not even a thorn that pricks him, but Allaah expiates some of his sins thereby.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5210; Muslim, 4670).

8 – The torment, squeezing and terror that happens in the grave. These are also things by means of which sins are expiated.

9 – The horrors, distress and hardship of the Day of Resurrection.

10 – The mercy and forgiveness of Allaah, with no cause on the part of His slaves.

See: Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn Taymiyah, vol. 7, p. 487-501.
===========================================

May Allaah help you, relieve your distress, guide your footsteps and forgive your sin.

Your soul is still in your body, your heart is still beating and your mind is still thinking, so we will start from there.

The Messenger of Allaah :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah accepts the repentance of His slaves so long as the death rattle has not reached his throat.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3537); classed as hasan by al-Albaani.

Abu Bakr came to the Prophet :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said to him, “Teach me a du’aa’ that I can say in my prayer.” He said, “Say Allaahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman katheeran wa laa yaghfir al-dhunooba illa anta faghfir li maghfiratan min ‘indika warhamni innaka anta al-Ghafoor al-Raheem (O Allaah, I have done great injustice to myself and no one forgives sin except You. Grant me forgiveness from You and have mercy on me, for You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful).”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 834; Muslim, 2705).

Think about this hadeeth, how the Prophet :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him), who is the best of this ummah after the Prophet :saw:(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), to say, “O Allaah, I have done great injustice to myself.” If Abu Bakr was to say this – when he was the best of the people – then what should we say?! O Allaah, bestow Your mercy upon us.

There was another Sahaabi – one of the best and most knowledgeable of the Sahaabah – to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “I love you, O Mu’aadh.” (Mu’aadh said), “And I love you, O Messenger of Allaah.” The Messenger of Allaah:saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not forget to say in every prayer, ‘Rabbi a’inni ‘ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ‘ibaadatika (O Allaah, help me to remember You, thank You and worship You properly.).’”
(al-Nasaa’i, 1303; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i, 1236).

Look at this advice that the Prophet :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave to one of those whom he loved the most, how he told he to ask Allaah to help to worship Him, for if a person is deprived of such help from Allaah then he is indeed deprived.
So we must turn to Allaah and ask Him to help us to do that which He has enjoined upon us.

Because all human beings are bound to fall short, Allaah has commanded us to repent from all sins.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”
[al-Noor 24:31]

“Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance”
[Hood 11:3]

“O you who believe! Turn to Allaah with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will expiate from you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)”
[al-Tahreem 66:8]

“In these verses, Allaah links expiation of sin and admission to Paradise to sincere repentance, which includes giving up sin and avoiding it, regretting what has happened in the past and sincere resolve never to return to it out of fear and respect for Allaah, hoping for His reward and fearing His punishment.”

(Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa – al-‘Aqeedah, part 2, p. 640).
.......................................
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allaah :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, ‘By Allaah, I ask the forgiveness of Allaah and repent to Him more than seventy times each day.’”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6307).

It was narrated that Abu Burda said: “I heard al-Agharr, who was one of the Companions of the Prophet:saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, ‘The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “O people, repent to Allaah, for I repent to Him one hundred times each day.”’”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2702).

These reports encourage us to repent to Allaah. The leader of those who repent – the Messenger of Allaah :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – repented to Allaah one hundred times each day, so it is more essential for us to repent a great deal, because of our many sins. There is no power and no strength except with Allaah.

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: Whoever says:



'Astaghfirullaahal-'Adheemal-lathee laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyoomu wa 'atoobu 'ilayhi.

I seek the forgiveness of Allah the Mighty, Whom there is none worthy of worship except Him, the Living, the Eternal, and I repent to Him, Allah will forgive him even if he has deserted the army's ranks.

Reference: Abu Dawud 2/85, At-Tirmithi 5/569, and Al-Hakim who declared it authentic and Ath-Thahabi agreed with him 1/511. Al-Albani graded it authentic in Sahih At-Tirmithi 3/182. See also Jami'ul-'Usool li-'Ahdaith Ar-Rasool 4/ 389-90 checked by Al-Arna'ut.
