Life is fragile. Every sunrise is a gift. Every breath is a mercy. Yet none of us knows when our final moment will arrive. Death does not send an invitation. It does not wait for our plans. It comes by the decree of Allah.
This is why renewing your tawbah (repentance) is not optional — it is preparation for meeting your Lord. Even the best of us slip. We sin knowingly and unknowingly. Our tongues speak what they shouldn’t. Our hearts hold what they shouldn’t. Our eyes look where they shouldn’t.
But the beauty of Islam is this: Allah loves when His servant returns. The Prophet ﷺ, would seek forgiveness more than 70 times a day — and he was already forgiven. What then of us? Renewing tawbah: Softens the heart, erases sins, lifts spiritual heaviness, brings inner peace, prepares the soul for its return and tawbah is preparation for death
One day, the Angel of Death will come. On that day:
There will be no more chances. No more later.
No more delaying repentance. Imagine meeting Allah with a heart cleansed by sincere tears, regret, and hope. Imagine standing before Him having turned back, again and again, every time you fell.
Is that not the most beautiful provision?
