We’re now in the days of Allah (S)’s forgiveness. At this point, we’ve embraced the fasting, the adjusted sleep schedules, and perhaps nightly worship. For some, you may start feeling your initial zeal for Ramadan wane a bit — but don’t let it happen! For others, you may have given up, feeling like a failure for not doing much in Ramadan yet. Do. not. despair. Do not get caught in the trap of self-imposed guilt or shame – you are still here, Ramadan is still upon us, and more importantly, Allah (S) is still here. And He’s waiting for you. He wants to forgive you. Now’s the time to dig deep and tap into your inner strength. Remember, we are in the Days of Forgiveness now. It’s never too late to start afresh and seek forgiveness. Allah (S) says in the Quran:  قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ  Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (39:53)  We might feel unworthy of Allah (S)’s forgiveness — but, dear sister, that’s not for us to decide. Allah (S) has already decided that you ARE worthy, and He invites us time and time again back to Him, no matter how weighty our sins. So how does one repent and seek Allah (S)’s forgiveness? To start, you must acknowledge your transgressions, feel remorse & regret over them, and resolve to change and not repeat the sins. Then, turn to Allah (S) and literally ask for forgiveness — and do better. Try your best to pray your prayers on time and take advantage of this beautiful month to reset and recconect with Allah (S). Here’s a great dua you can say when seeking Allah (S)’s forgiveness:  اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ، دِقَّهُ وَجِلَّهُ، وَأَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ وَعَلَانِيَتَهُ وَسِرَّهُ  Allahumma-ghfir li dhanbi kullahu, diqqahu wa jillahu, wa awwalahu wa akhirahu, wa 'ala niyatahu wa sirrahu (O Allah! Forgive me all my sins, great and small, the first and the last, those that are apparent and those that are hidden). [Muslim 1:350]  May Allah (S) forgive us of all sins, and make us of the righteous, inshallah! With Love, The HH Team Need help?
