The Door Of Repentance Is Opened Wide

Allah Almighty has enlarged and loosened and gave us the widest opportunity to repent to Him. Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam said:

إِنَّ اللهَ يَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوْبَ مُسِيْءُ النَّهَارِ ، وَبِالنَّهَارِ لِيَتُوْبَ مُسِيْءُ اللَّيْلِ

"Really, God extended his hand in the evening to accept the repentance of the servants who do immoral (or disobey Allah's Command) in the afternoon. And he extended his hand during the day to accept the repentance of the servants who do immoral (or disobey Allah's Command) in the night"

(HR. Muslim No. 7165)

Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam also said:

إِنَّ اللهَ يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ الْعَبْدِ مَا لمَ ْيُغَرْغِرْ

"Truly Allah accepts the repentance of his servant as long as the soul is not yet in the throat" 

(Narrated At Tirmidhi, 3880. He said: "This hadith is hasan gharib", Al-Albani in Sahih Sunan At-Tirmidhi ).

Then Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam also has told us the story of a man who had killed 99 people:

فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَاهِبٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنَ تَوْبَةٍ فَقَالَ لاَ. فَقَتَلَهُ فَكَمَّلَ بِهِ مِائَةً ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَالِمٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ مِائَةَ نَفْسٍ فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَمَنْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ التَّوْبَةِ

"The man was shown to a worship expert, he came to him and asked: 'I have killed 99 people. Can I still repent? '. The worshiper said: 'No'. The man even kills him to will be exactly 100 people. Then he asked the most pious people, and he was shown to a cleric. He then asked: 'I have killed 100 people. Can I still repent? '. The cleric said: 'Yes. Who can stop you from getting repentance? ' "

(Muslim, no.7184)

Who can keep you from repentance, my brother and sister? Opportunity is always wide open!

Allah Ta'ala says:

إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاإ

" Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray." 

(Surah An Nisa: 116)

When a Musyrik repents to Allah and he returns to the way of Allah Ta'ala, then no one can withhold it from God. In fact, Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam preach that the Musyrik of the people of the repentant book (Ahlul kitaab), he got two rewards from his repent.

Repeat The Sin After Repentance (taubat)

It is thus human nature, making mistakes not once but many times. Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam said:

كل ابن آدم خطاء وخير الخطائين التوابون

" Every human being must have done much wrong, and the best of the wrongdoers is the one who repents often " 

(Tirmidhi no.2687 At Tirmidhi said: "This hadith is gharib".) 

(and become Hassan in Al-Albani recited in Al Jami Ash Shaghir, 291/18).

Notice in this hadith used the word خطاء which means: much to do wrong. But the Prophet said after that, "the best of those who do wrong are those who repent often". This is a sign that the person who has many sins, including those who repeat the same sin after repentance, will still be accepted for repentance.

Also in a saheeh hadith mentioned:

أإن عبدا أصاب ذنبا فقال يا رب إنى أذنبت ذنبا فاغفر لى فقال ربه علم عبدى أن له ربا يغفر الذنب ويأخذ به فغفر له ثم مكث ما شاء الله ثم أصاب ذنبا آخر وربما قال أذنب ذنبا آخر فقال يا رب إنى أذنبت ذنبا آخر فاغفر لى قال ربه علم عبدى أن له ربا يغفر الذنب ويأخذ به فغفر له ثم مكث ما شاء الله ثم أصاب ذنبا آخر وربما قال أذنب ذنب ا آخر فقال يا رب إنى أذنبت ذنبا آخر فاغفر لى فقال ربه علم عبدى أن له ربا يغفر الذنب ويأخذ به فقال ربه غفرت لعبدى فليعمل ما شاء

" There is a servant who sins and he says: 'Rabbi (Oh my God), I have sinned, forgive me'. Then Allah says: 'My servant knows that he has a Rabb who forgives sins'. Then his sins are forgiven. And walk time, then he sins again. When he sinned again he said: 'Rabbi, I have sinned again, forgive me'. Then Allah says: 'My servant knows that he has a Rabb who forgives sins'. Then his sins are forgiven. And walk time, then he sins again. When he sinned again he said: 'Rabbi, I have sinned again, forgive me'. Then Allah says: 'My servant knows that he has a Rabb who forgives sins'. Then his sins are forgiven. Then Allah says: 'I have forgiven the sin of my servant, so he should do as he pleases' "

(Bukhari No. 7068).

In Fathul Baari explained Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani said: "The meaning of the word of God 'I have forgiven the sins of my servant, so let him do as he pleases' is: 'As long as you always repent every time you act (Wrong/Immoral), I have forgiven your sins'". He also brings the words of Imam An Nawawi: "If a person sins a hundred times, a thousand times, or even more, and every sin he repents, then his repentance is accepted. Even if of the thousands of sins after that he only once repented, his repentance was accepted "( Fathul Baari , 89/21).

Is It Good News For Maksiat Experts (Bad Man) ?

Of course this is not a fresh breeze to continue doing immorality. Because a person who doing immorality he should realize that not necessarily. he get taufiq to repent nasuha after immoral, and not necessarily he died in a state of repentance. Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam said:

إنما الأعمال بخواتيمها

" Really every Act depends on the end " 

(Bukhari, 6493).

Repentance Needs 3 thing :     1) regret, 

                                                   2) stay away from that sins and anything trigger it, 

                                                   3) and try his best not to repeat.

Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam also said:

الرجل ليعمل الزمن الطويل بعمل أهل الجنة, ثم يختم له عمله بعمل الزمن الطويل بعمل أهل النار ثم يختم [له] عمله بعمل أهل الجنة

" A man may seem to the people as if he were practising the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he is from the people of the Hell) Fire, another may seem to the people as if he were practicing the deeds of the people of Hell (Fire), while in fact he is from the people of Paradise." "

(Narrated by Al-Bukhari no 2898, 4282, Muslim no. 112, 2651).

So keep repenting to God, and stay away from Maksiat.

And Allah knows best.
