Ahmed the Repenter - Emotional True Story

Pre-Ramadan Iman booster. This is a classic true story, which I originally delivered in 1997 and became a source of salvation and hope for all those who have gone too deep in sins and lost hope of a return. Again, by request I delivered it in the 2023 Light Upon Light UK Tour. It is about repentance and hope in Allah’s Mercy and Forgiveness, a real life event that I hope will give you comfort and inspiration, inshaAllah.

“ Your iman is like a friend, it hovers a over you as you do the sin, and when you are done with the sin your iman comes back and makes you feel the way you do, so that you could repent”. Subhanallah what an amazing friend. I love this part of the lecture

[@D7Anout-qp5my]

May iman be the friend of mine and my body ! When iman in a wallet is a never be! Our mothers are banks

[@wajidaries828]

I have been doing zina from past few months im trying to get back im crying,im feeling guilt every single day for what I have been doing im fighting with myself every single day im praying but I'm not feeling as before I know it takes time my head is getting burst by controlling my emotions im trying not to do any sin again I'm watching Islamic videos to divert my mind I just finished my tahajjud i cried was asking Allah to guid me to forgive me I was feeling helpless and sehri and untill the fajr namaz time I was watching a Islamic video randomly this video played this is the sign of Allah sw subhanallah please who ever is reading my comment please pray for me my brother's and sisters Allah is the greatest Allah hu Akbar jazakallah hu khair, my name is Abdul wajid please remember me in your duas🥺

[@geekista]

You are on the right path brother, may Allah forgive us all 🤲 let's not despair of his mercy 🤲

[@NopeyNopeNoNo]

May Allah guide you and bless you. You are doing the right thing. Having good Muslim friends will help you. Do not tell any one your sin. Allah is the Most Forgiving. Please don’t despair

[@afnaan4341]

I pray for you brother..I know how it feels..don’t lose hope..try to shift your focus on Islam and try to help others..specially to help the poor people it will remove the guild

[@MrLyans]

It is not proper to expose your sin to the public let You And Allah(swt) knows dont expose it to the public brother

[@mocotto8642]

Do not expose your sin. My brother everyone is a sinner. Everyone has vices. You know deep down why your doing it. Loneliness? Not content in your marriage ? Trauma. Find a cause and find a solution inshAllah.

[@ServantOftheMostHigh]

Three things have touched my soul from this video, the first is about the sheikh, when he said he had never been in such an environment all his life. How many unlawful things have we seen and didn't bother? Astaghfirullah. The second one is when the sheikh chose not to stay in the hotel. The third one is when Allah the Most Loving blessed Ahmad with Taubatu Nasuha. We ask Allah to grant him the highest levels of Jannah and to the Sheikh and to us all. May we become better muslims like Ahmad. Amiina Yaa Mujiibu 😢😢😢

[@user-my6iz5tg7x]

Wow what a beautiful name

[@nashrimajuel6465]

"Do not despair from the forgiveness and mercy of Allah "

[@ag135i]

Bilal Assad is the best Islamic speaker, alhamdulillah.

[@Idowu_Balogun]

Good gesture... He wouldn't refer to himself as that but for Allah to strengthen his sincerity.

[@fdd78110]

Him and Mufti Menk are brilliant, they speak so calmly and in a way that you feel emotional and start to rethink life

[@AirsX]

Sheikh Ali Hammuda and Omar El Banna as well. Do not say "best" though as it can cause fitnah

[@whoevenknowss]

hands down 🙌🏼 may Allah swt reward him for all his efforts, ameem

Aameen ya Rabb

[@mubashir9x]

I think it's pure blessing that he fell in that sin which changed him completely. The fire started burning in his chest, his priorities changed, the only thing he thought is to please Allah and to save himself from hellfire. Verily Allah chooses whom He wills. May Allah give that fire in our chest which makes us leave all the sins and consider us among saaleheen!

[@abuahmad67]

Yes his was a real test , because he was raised as a good Muslim family. Everything a man could want wealth dean etc. Then he got board. And he needed to be tested, The Shaytan is the enemy for the Rich and poor equally.

[@richinISLAM22]

Allahumma ameen

[@user-cg3gu8gp7q]

May Allah forgive " Ahmed" and everyone of us.May Allah forgive our brothers and sisters.May Allah forgive our mothers and fathers.May Allah forgive our children.May Allah make everyone of us among the repnters.Ameen

ALHAMDULLILAH *THE BEST DUA'A TO SEEK FORGIVENESS & GUARANTEED JANNAH* 💯💕 (Sayyid Ul Istigfaar) Prophet Muhammed SAWS said whoever says this Dua'a once in the morning and die before evening *S/he is GUARANTEED JANNAH* and whoever says this Dua'a once in the evening sincerely and dies before Morning *S/he is GUARANTEED JANNAH* Please make it a habit to recite everyday, once in the morning and once in the evening *Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 6306* The Dua'a اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي, لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ, خَلَقْتَنِي, وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ, وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ،, أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ, أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ, وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي, فَاغْفِرْ لِي; فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَلذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ Allahumma, Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, Abu laka bini'matika 'alayya Wa abuw'u lak bidhanbi faghfirli , fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa anta Meaning “O Allah! You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshipped except You. You created me and I am your servant and I abide by your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in you from the evil, which I have committed. I acknowledge your favor upon me and I acknowledge my sins, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except you.” There are some conditions for repentance which we need to follow 1. Admit our mistake / sin to Allah SWT 2. Regret the sin we committed 3. Seek Allah's forgiveness and repent sincerely back to him (saying this Dua'a) 4. Make a promise to Allah that you'll do your best not to repeat this sin again In case you fail as human Good news once again 🌹 Sincerely follow the above steps and repent again *Allah SWT promised that he will always accept our repentance not matter how much times we repeat as long as we are sincere with our repentance* Spread this message with everyone and we'll get reward everytime someone practices, these even after we leave this world 🗺

[@elyforeli]

[@meowko1039]

The last verse of singing ALLAH (swt)'s words, the way Sheik Bilaal sang it, made me cry. 😭😭😭

[@jiahazahar6607]

I have listen to this story from all different channel yet still can't get enough of this. I always re-watched the short reel that only show the Ayat recitation when I miss this story

[@sand_9499]

Wallahi this is not the first time i listened to this story. But it still makes my eyes sweat and makes my heart feel like it's been pressed just like the first time when i listened to it. SubhanAllah May Allah grant him the highest place in Jannah. May we all will always be guided and be among the righteous 🤍 اللهم امين

It's the 1st time i've heard this story. That was beautifully told by the sheikh and bought tears to my eyes. Dear sheikh may Allah SWT grant you prosperity in all you do in this life and grant you jannatul firdous in the next.

[@aminaabdikarim1714]

IN MY LIFE, I HAVE BEEN HEARING AND LISTENING TO STORIES, BUT THIS STORY SHOOK ME AND NEVED FELT WHAT IAM NOW. THIS STORY HAS SO MANH BLESSINGS AND LESSONS IN IT. NEVER LOSE YOUR FAITH IN ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO , FEELING GUILT IS ALSO ANOTHER BLESSING TO NOT COMMITTING THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN .❤MAY ALLAH GRANT HIM HIGHEST LEVEL OF JANNAH AND BLESS SHEIKH BILAL ASSAD AND OTHER CULAMA JANNATUL FIRDOWS AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS STORY. MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH YOU AMEEN. MAY ALLAH FORGIVE US ALL FOR OUR SHORTCOMINGS AND BLESS US WITH HAPPY AND BEAUTIFUL ENDING INSHALLAH.❤

[@kainatzahra456]

JAZAK'ALLAH

[@hanaisida7784]

The understanding I got from this story was that Ahmed really repented, and he finally got his peace after was able to recite this Aya. But there are people in the world who hurt other people hurt their imman and think if they say "sorry" Allah will forgive them what about these people will Allah really forgive them?

[@MentalMatrix-ui8tu]

If they repent Allah SWT will forgive them, but matters between the slaves of Allah SWT must be solved between them and the oppressed in the akhirah can take his due back.

[@D7Anout-qp5my]

Better to be like an Ahmed or at least try to be ! May Ahmed, Allah be blessing! 11:16
