In a heart-shaking lecture on remorse, Jb. Iqbal Khan sahab urges the audience to seek forgiveness from Allah today-now-immediately
Some important points to take home:
Taubah involves-
1.Remorse
2.Fulfilling obligations
3.Repaying usurped rights
4.Asking forgiveness from the person hurt
5.Resolution to discontinue the act
6.Taming one’s nafs
Points to avoid-
1. Taubah ki ummeed par gunah karna
2. Zindagi ki ummeed par taubah na karna
3. Major sins like shirk, murder and zina can be washed off by taubah and good deeds
4. Purane gunaho ko yaad karne pe lazzat to nahi na mehsoos hoti? Taubah should involve a sense of shame on past sins
5. Make Taubah before your sins become your habit
6. Taubah should be done seriously… Uska mazak nahi banana chahiye
7. Azkār like Astagfar should be done with conscious presence of mind and not merely as a routine ritualistic practice.
