The Day is approaching when every soul shall find itself confronted with whatever good it has done and whatever evil it has wrought. It will then wish that there be a wide space between it and the Day! Allah warns you to beware of Him; He is Most Tender towards His servants.Surah Ali-Imran [3:30]

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) that: “When, the son of Adam recites the Ayaah of Sajdah (prostration) and then falls down in prostration, the Satan goes into seclusion and weeps and says: Alas, and in the narration of Abu Kuraib the words are: Woe unto me, the son of Adam was commanded to prostrate, and he prostrated and Paradise was entitled to him and I was commanded to prostrate, but I refused and am doomed to Hell.”

[Sahih Muslim : Book 1 Kitab Al-Iman, Number 144]

The Mosques of Allâh shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allâh and the Last Day; perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât and fear none but Allâh. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance. (At-Tawbah 9:18)

you against all calamities for the remainder of the day and prevent your enemies
from uttering a single word against you. If you are in difficulty, recite this
name of Allah 1020 times, Allah will soon provide you relief and contentment of
the heart. Insha-Allah.

NINETY-NINE NAMES OF ALLAH is not a lengthy treatise or a historical account of
Allah and Islam. In fact, if you are looking for something that sets out the
principles and philosophies behind the Islamic faith then this isn’t for you.
This was written for the purpose of meditation, to assist in further
contemplating the glory and ineffable splendor of Allah.

The write up refers to the ninety-nine names of Allah found in the Koran. Allah
is said to have 3000 names: 1,000 known strictly by angels, 1,000 known only by
the prophets; the 300 of the Torah (Old Testament of the Bible); the 300 of the
Psalms of David; the 300 of the New Testament; the 99 of the Koran; and, the
3000th name, the greatest name, said to have been hidden by Allah.

You can look at this in two ways: the first, this would be a welcomed, though
probably brief, talking piece and, the second, a vehicle “to find the One who is
named,” in which case no one can ever speculate and tell you of its potential
value and rewards.

On the Day when some faces will turn bright and other faces will turn dark. Those whose faces have turned dark will be told: “Did you fall into unbelief after you had been blessed with belief? Taste, then, chastisement for your unbelief.”
And those whose faces have turned bright, they will be in the mercy of Allah, and therein they shall abide.Surah Ali-Imran [3:106-107]

The Story of Kobe Muslim Mosque
The Japanese name ‘Kobe’ can be translated into English as ‘Gate of God’, so it is no wonder that the first mosque to be built in Japan was established in the city of Kobe.

“REPENTANCE IN ISLAM”
Feelings of remorse and guilt are natural reflections of sinning, if the person who has sinned has a conscious which is alive.
After committing a sin, a person who fears Allah and give high respect to Him would feel a sense of despondency and despair thinking, “How will God forgive me for this sin?” However, it is noteworthy that despairing of God’s mercy is in itself one of the major sins in Islam for God is ever merciful, ever forgiving.
As He says in the Qur’an:
“Do not despair of God’s mercy; He will forgive you of all your sins”.Qur’an (39:53).
In another verse, Allah says:
“And He wishes to forgive you” Qur’an (4:146).
Islam fully understands the temptations that come in the way of everyone of us, and that which some of us might go for. Only through repentance, that one can wipe out those sins and past misdeeds and gradually get freed from the clutches of the ego.
Repentance is the most noble and beloved form of obedience in the eyes of Allah the All Mighty. He loves those who repent. Repentance has a status that no other form of worship has. This is why Allah is extremely happy when a servant repents just as a traveller is happy when he finds his lost mount in the desert.
Feeling Allah’s satisfaction has its great impact on the heart of the one repenting. Hence, the repenting person reaches the status of being amongst the beloved through his repentance.
Moreover, repentance brings about humbleness and a sense of helplessness to the only Creator; Allah, and that is not easily acquired through other forms of worship.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“Except those who repent, have faith and good deeds, those Allah will charge their sins for good deeds. Certainly Allah is most forgiving and merciful.” (Qur’an 25:70)
This is a greatest glad tiding for those who repent and combine their repentance with deep faith and good deeds.
Repentance breeds good deeds, whilst sinning (without repentance) can cause deprivation of obedience altogether. It has been said that committing sins regularly will darken and harden the heart and make purifying it once again a difficult mission. It may even lead a person to reject Allah completely (Allah forbid) or lead him to commit a bigger sin. There is no recourse for a sinner except to ask Allah for forgiveness and to feel great regret for his actions.
Repentance is to repent from the heart, to train the heart into obedience and to make a firm resolution never to commit the sin again.
How to repent?
For repentance to be accepted by Allah, one should go through these four stages:
1- Stop the sin.
2- Regretting deeply and truly for the sin you committed.
3- Return to Allah for forgiveness.
4- Strong intention never to return to that same sin again.
What would help in fulfilling the above four stages?
The repenting person should remember three facts:
1. The grave consequence of sins.
2. The painful punishment for sins and
3. How week a person is when committing such sins.
Abu Bakr Al Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him), narrated:
“I heard Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) saying: “There isn’t a man who, when he commits a sin, rises, makes ablution, and offers two rak’as of prayers, but Allah forgives his sins.”
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“Those (are the true believers) who, when they commit an evil deed, or wrong their souls, remember Allah, and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who but Allah forgives sins? They do not insist upon the sins they have committed, and they know (that Allah is forgiving).” (Qur’an 3:135)

Narrated Humran:
I saw ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan asking (for a tumbler of water) to perform ablution (and when it was brought)
he poured water from it over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out.
Then he washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice.

After that ‘Uthman said, “I saw the Prophet performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, ‘If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak’at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven. ‘

Surely Satan is an enemy to you. Therefore, do take him as an enemy.
He calls his followers to his way so that they may be among the inmates of the Fire. (35:6)

Whenever the Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) went to answer the call of nature, he used to say,
“Allah-umma inni a’udhu bika minal khubuthi wal khaba’ith”

i.e.O Allah, I seek Refuge with You from all offensive and wicked things (evil deeds and evil spirits).
