Al salam alaykom everyone,

Am a 17 year old, live in a muslim country al hamdulilah, havent been who i should be all my life, but thanks to god i've chaned 180 around.to summ it up, am not a good muslim not just by name but i do what i should be doing, and gave up all the wrong stuff i shouldn't be doing..so my Question is, will God ever completly forgive me? i really do want to be forgiven. I was young and stupid and didnt know any better, and am never going back there again.

MASHAA ALLAH,

never lose hope in ALLAH and also remember that HE is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

i am in full niqab, i was never forced to wear it. It really brought me close to my CREATOR.
where i live, even non-muslims give me way. They dont talk to me unnecessarily when they see me in Purdah.

I have so much peace as i know i did it to please none but ALLAH (SWT).

always check your intention.

You also have to know that wearing a purdah is not as easy as it sounds. Im the only Muslim in my family but ALHAMDULILLAH, I got married a few months after i became a Muslim so nobody could command me to take my Purdah off.

I started wearing full Purdah after maybe 1 month after becoming a Muslim.

never wear Purdah to please people.
i must say you are lucky to be in a Muslim country.
ALLAH protect.

This is the beauty of AL ISLAM forgivness.

قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي، غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ وَلاَ أُبَالِي، يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي، غَفَرْتُ لَكَ، يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَتَيْتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطَايَا، ثُمَّ لَقِيْتَنِي لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئاً، لأَتَيْتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً

From Anas, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:


by Imam Nawawi





371. Chapter: On asking forgiveness

Allah says, "Ask forgiveness for your wrongdoing, and for the men and women who believe," (W47:20; H47:19) and the Almighty says, "Ask Allah's forgiveness. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (W4:105; H4:106) He says, "Then glorify your Lord's praise and ask His forgiveness. He is the Ever-Returning."(W110:3-4; H110:3) and the Almighty says, "Those who are godfearing will have Gardens with their Lord with rivers flowing under them" to His words, "those who seek forgiveness before dawn." (3:15-17) Allah says, "Anyone who does evil or wrongs himself and then asks Allah¹s forgiveness will find Allah Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (W4:109; H4:110) and He says, "Allah would not punish them while you were among them. Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness." (8:33) The Almighty says, "Those who, when they act indecently or wrong themselves, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their bad actions – and who can forgive bad actions except Allah – and do not knowingly persist in what they were doing." (3:135)

1869. Al-Agharr al-Muzani reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A cloudiness comes over my heart and I ask for Allah's forgiveness a hundred times a day." [Muslim]

1870. Abu Hurayra said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'By Allah, I ask Allah's forgiveness and turn to Him more than seventy times a day.'" [al-Bukhari]

1871. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in whose hand my soul is, if you did not do wrong, Allah Almighty would remove you and bring a people who do wrong and then ask Allah Almighty for forgiveness and He would forgive them." [Muslim]

1872. Ibn 'Umar said, "We used to count out for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in one assembly a hundred times, "Lord forgive me and turn to Me, You are the Returning, the Merciful." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1873. Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone clings to asking for forgiveness, Allah will appoint him a way out of every constriction, and relief from every care and will provide for him from where he does not reckon."[Abu Dawud]

1874. Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who says, 'I ask forgiveness of Allah, other than whom there is no god, the Living, the All-Sustaining and I turn to him,' will be forgiven his wrong actions, even if he fled from the press of battle." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1875. Shaddad ibn Aws stated that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best way to ask forgiveness is for a slave to say, 'O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your slave. I comply with Your covenant and Your promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with you from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me. Only You can forgive sins.' Anyone who says this during the day having confidence in it and dies on that day before evening will be among the people of the Garden. Anyone who says it during the night having confidence in it and dies before morning will be among the people of the Garden." [al-Bukhari]

1876. Thawban said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to finish his prayer, he asked forgiveness three times and said, 'O Allah, You are Peace and peace is from You. You are blessed, O Possessor of majesty and nobility.'" Al-Awza'i, one of the transmitters of the hadith, was asked, "How was the asking forgiveness?" He said, "You say, 'I ask Allah's forgiveness. I ask Allah's forgiveness.'". [Muslim]

1877. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to often say before his death, 'Glory be to Allah and by His praise. I ask Allah's forgiveness and I turn in repentance to Him." [Agreed upon]

1878. Anas said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Allah Almighty says, "O son of Adam! I will forgive you as long as you call on Me and have hope in Me, no matter what you do. Son of Adam, I do not care if your wrong actions reach to the clouds of heaven and then you ask Me for forgiveness, I will forgive you. Son of Adam, if you were to come with sins equivalent in weight to the whole earth and then meet Me having not associated anything with Me, I would come to you with the same amount of forgiveness.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

1879. Ibn 'Umar stated that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "O company of women! Give sadaqa and ask forgiveness often. I have seen that you comprise the majority of the people of the Fire." One of the women said, "Why are we are the majority of the people of the Fire?" He said, "You curse a lot and you are ungrateful to your husbands. Despite the fact that I see you are deficient both in intellect and the deen, intelligent men are destroyed by you." She said, "What is our deficiency in intelligence and the deen?" He said, "The testimony of two women is only worth the testimony of one man and there are days when a woman does not pray." [Muslim]







"Allah the Almighty has said: 'O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and hope in Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds in the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with an earthful of sins and were you then to face Me, without having associated anything with Me, I shall grant you an earthful of pardon.'"


[Recorded by Al-Tirmidhi, who said that it is a good and sound hadith]

Al salam alaykom everyone,
Also, sisters who wear niqab, whats it like? did it change you?

Yes it did change me a lot! changed me to be better muslimah, Alhamdulillah.
wearing niqab (commonly in Indonesia we call it "Jilbab") make me feel comfortable, feel secure and feel cool from the outside and the inside!
Bismillah...just do it and you will feel how is it like, be completely muslimah sister

 

[Ahsen]

It will be great if sisters would convey this message to other women that "pls stop staring at men when you are wearing niqab". It just feels gross.

Excuse me?

If that is your experience then `audhbillaah, it certainly isn't something I've come accross and I would seriously doubt it is a widespread occurence, so please do not make mention of your personal experiences as if it is a generic and widespread one, thus implying Muslim niqaabi women have this inherent problem, it's simply unfair.

Women wearing niqaab are hardly the type to stare at the opposite gender, they are in fact, the least of your concern in this regard, especially when you have plenty of women in the world who don't cover up because they don't know the word hayaa even exists, moreover they are actively seeking out the opposite gender in the most shameless of ways.

May Allaah protect us all.

Assalamu'alaykum.
