The Book of Those Who Repent by Ibn Qudamah / Hany Al-Haj

About the author of The Book of Repentants

This text refers to the office of His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may his high shadow be sustained), which is a center for providing spiritual and religious advice and guidance. Allah Almighty mentioned in the Holy Book that He loves those who repent and purify themselves, and our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, also mentioned that Allah loves repentance. Some of our predecessors were asked about the signs of accepted repentance, and they answered that it consists of four things: staying away from evil people, abandoning sins and accepting obedience, the joy of the world in staying away from it, seeing one's provision in things that Allah had forbidden, and doing the things that Allah commanded. Therefore, a person should do four things: love Allah, protect Him with prayer, not blame Him for past sins, and sit on His throne to examine and help Him.

Description of The Book of Repentants

This book is a book from the Holy Quran, because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will forgive the sins of His servants if they repent and return to Him.

Repentance: It is the repentance of one's sins with the heart, asking for forgiveness for one's sins with the tongue, and repenting so as never to return.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said in a hadith: "If one of you commits a sin until it fills what is between the heavens and the earth, then Allah turns to him. Dec. We find news and stories of repentance and seeking forgiveness in the book of repentance by Hafiz bin Qudamah Al-Maqdisi."
