What kind of Good deed that takes someone away from Allah???

[@f.agberemi]

There are certain deeds humans see as good deeds that turn out to be bad deeds that take us away from Allah. For instance, a person that takes a pregnant unmarried girl for abortion in a bid to help her - to the girl , he has done a good deed.

This is my first Ramadan where I don't watch any useless TV series. The abundance of amazing islamic content like yours this month are way more entertaining, and useful. Jazak Allahu khair🙏

[@AB-fq4mr]

I agree, after praying and reciting, it's so nice to come here at the end of the day and wind down before bed. They have all really outdone themselves, not just sheikh Omar, the quality this year is superb, watching these at the end of the day is like dessert after a meal.

*Summary of Episode 2* 🌟Best case scenario: Then after you are touched by the whisper of the devil, you turn to allah for repentance and they are tuned out of the sin. 🌟The Prophet (SAW) said "If you are about to commit a sin and then you are reminded of Allah, "DON'T IGNORE YOUR TAQWA!" "STOP YOURSELF RIGHT THEN AND THERE!" 🌟What if it's the situation: You are just about to commit a sin especially if it's the first time you commit a sin before you get desensitized? Choice you choose! Whether, 🔷️The sin becomes a means to bring you back to Allah (swt) or 🔷️The sin becomes a habit and takes you down the path of shaitaan. The Prophet (SAW) talks about the beautiful way the Angels interact with us. 🌟 Everyone has an angel on the right and left that records everything that we do! 🌟 Not a single expression or not a single word has gone unrecorded! 🌟 When a person commits a good deed, their soul emits a scent of musk. 📍When you are about to sin...The soul emits a nasty scent! But here's the point! The Prophet (SAW) said, 🌟When the person first commits a sin, Allah (swt) commands the angels to hold their pen for a certain period of time. (6 hours) (Note: An hour does not mean 60 min here but 6 periods of time) (Now that does not mean you will wait for 6 hours to do istigfaar! Do it immediately! Don't allow shaitaan to trick you into procastination!) 🌟 And if the person repent within that time, The sin will not be written down... Instead Allah (swt) has a good deed written for you! 📍And if the person goes further and commits that sin, the Prophet (SAW) says, One Sin is written down. 🌟 The Prophet (SAW) further says, Even if one sin has been written down, One who repents from his sin is like one who never committed the sin! 🌟🌟The essence: The Abundant Mercy of Allah (swt) Even if the angels are recording your deeds all time... Allah (swt) shows leniancy and tells the angel on the left, "Hold your pen! See if my servant is turning back to me, see if my servant will wake up in that moment, see if my servant will decide that this I will never do it again, see if this becomes a mean by which my servant turns back to me!" And verily a sin that brings a person back to Allah (swt) is better than a good deed that takes them away! Hope this helps! Jazak Allah khair! Salaam!

If he regrets and seeks forgiveness from Allah, the angel does not write down the sin. [If he does not regret and seek forgiveness] one sin will be recorded. [Tabrani - Mu’jam al-Kabir, v8, p185] Shaykh Al-Albaani classified it as Hasan in Saheeh Al-Jaami’ As-Sagheer, and he quoted it in As-Silsilah As-Saheehah.

This was so so beautiful I have a habit of watching videos in full speed. But here was the only time when he started talking about Allah commanding the left angel to hold his pen, i rewinded the video and watched in normal speed . One of my favorite speakers. Out of utmost good intention, i hope i get a husband like him, life would be so much simpler and easier . Allah's mercy ❤ He waits for us to repent. 😭 To ask for toubah. As if HE doesnt want that sin to be in our record in the first place 😭 and granting atleast 10 times a good deed to be written down (which can be upto 700 depending on the quality n intention of the deed) ... We just dont deserve this much love and mercy from the Ultimate Creator. The Master of this dunya. We just dont. 💔
