About The Book

At a time when people are encouraged to flaunt and take ‘pride’ in their sins, it seems more relevant than ever to raise awareness regarding the concept of tawbah, or repentance. It is from Allah’s immense mercy to His servants ﷺ that the doors of repentance are kept open right up to our final breaths. Our Creator, the Most Subtle ﷺ, is aware that we will inevitably err and sin. This short book compiles sections of Shaykh Muḥammad Metwally ash-Shaʿrāwī’s lectures that discuss the various facets of repentance to help us realise its reality and necessity.

It also includes discussions centred around Allah’s infinite mercy ﷺ so that we never tire from repentance. We deemed it appropriate to have these sections accompanied by Ibn ʿAsākir’s Kitāb at-Tawbah and Ibn Rajab’s Asbāb al-Maghfirah. The combination of these works on repentance, Allah’s mercy and His forgiveness ﷺ will no doubt prove an invaluable source for our eternal good fortune bi-idhni ’llāh.
