SUPPLICATION OF REPENTANCE (TAUBA) IN SAHIFA KAMILA
PART
- 1
Tauba means
to return or come back. It means
a man feels sorry for his sins
and sincerely prays to Allah to
abstain from committing the same
sin again. If the sin can be
addressed to like discharge any
unfulfilled obligation, then he
should discharge that liability
and if it cannot be done then he
should perform such deeds for
the aggrieved person that on the
Day of Judgment he may be
pleased with the sinner. The
basic cause of repentance is the
knowledge and conviction of
reward and punishment. No man is
exempt from repentance because
every one makes mistake or
intention or thought of
committing a sin.
As soon as a
man commits a sin, he should
repent right away because no one
knows when he will die. If he
postpones repentance he may not
repent at all. Moreover, this
repentance is a clear evidence
that his mind is still intact on
natural integrity.
The Holy
Prophet (s) said “If a man
repents one year before his
death, Allah will accept his
repentance. He further said that
even if he repents one month
before or one day before or even
one hour before his death, Allah
will accept his repentance and
forgive his sins”
Duaa-e-Tauba
is as follows:
O Allah, O He
whom the depiction of
describers, fails to describe,
O He beyond
whom passes not the hope of the
hopers,
O He with
whom is not lost the wage of the
good-doers,
O He who is
the ultimate object of the fear
of the worshippers,
O He, who is
the utmost limit of the dread of
the God-fearing,
This is the
station of Him whom sins have
passed from hand to hand.
Offenses’
reins have led him on,
And Satan has
gained mastery over him.
He fell short
of what you have commanded
through negligence,
He saw his
vast disobedience as vast and
his great opposition as great.
So turned to
you, hoping in you ashamed
before you,
He repaired
to you in his longing with
certitude and he went straight
to you in fear with sincerity.
His longing
was devoid of every object of
longing but you,
So he stood
before you pleading,
He will not
deny your justice, my God, if
you punish him
O god so here
I am: I have come to you obeying
your command
O God, so
Bless Muhammad and his
Household,
O God, make
firm my intention to obey you,
O God, I
repent to you in this my station
from
You have
said, my God, in the firm text
of your Book,
O God, you
know better what I have done, so
forgive me what you know
O God,
counted against me are claims
that stay in my memory,
So compensate
their owners, lighten their load
upon me, |
