03 - This is the duʿā of our father Ādam (ʿalayhis-salām) and mother Hawwa' (ʿalayhas-salām) after they had been lured by Shayṭān to eat from the tree.
اللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّيْ
Allāhumma innaka `Afuwwun, tuḥibbul-`afwa fa`fu `annī
O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, You love pardon, so pardon me
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The five daily (prescribed) Salat, and Friday (prayer) to the next Friday (prayer), and the fasting of Ramadan to the next Ramadan, is expiation of the sins committed in between them, so long as major sins are avoided."
[Muslim].
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says: ' When a slave of Mine draws near to Me a span, I draw near to him a cubit; and if he draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running."'.
[Al-Bukhari].
1/ Imagine crawling through a desert, dying of thirst. You see water in the distance. You run toward it—only to find… nothing.
This is how Allah describes the deeds of those who reject faith. An illusion that vanishes when they reach the end.
