Allah’s patience is boundless. Despite our persistent disobedience, He invites us to repent and seek forgiveness, even when our transgressions overflow. Though He may expose our shortcomings to the world, His mercy still beckons us to return to Him. But let us beware: unrepentant hearts risk being consumed by darkness, and death’s sudden arrival may catch us off guard. None of us is perfect; even in our best moments, we falter. Yet, in our vulnerability, we find solace in Allah’s protection. Oh Allah, grant us the gift of sincerity, that our private and public lives may reflect the beauty of our faith, and may we be counted among those who are true to themselves and to You. Oh Allah, protect us from falling into fitna that is caused by ourselves, and do not make us among those who consistently seek your wrath.
