Allah has created us and has given us the right to choose. He sent down Prophets from time to time to guide people to the straight path. He made the result clear for those who accept and those who deny His message. We are not free from sins; we commit sins day and night, at home or work, every hour every day but we are charged to be like Adam Prophet of Allah who himself has committed a sin but sincerely repented and so the Almighty overlooked it.
From Anas, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:
"Allah the Almighty has said: 'O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and hope in Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds in the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with an earthful of sins and were you then to face Me, without having associated anything with Me, I shall grant you an earthful of pardon.'"
In this Hadeeth Qudsi, Allah gives hope to mankind. This hadith teaches us the importance of realizing Allahs mercy, having faith and hope in Him especially when making dua, calling to Allah alone for forgiveness, and the importance of repentance in the life and faith of a believer.
Allah catches the attention of mankind by calling out, O son of Adam! This is a call to every human being. Why didnt Allah say, O mankind or O People? The significance of this specific call is because it was the first human being, Adam (alaiyhis-salam) who committed the first sin. Adam was an example to all humans of the consequences of sin and how to turn to Allah for forgiveness of ones sins. This gives hope that even after committing a violation, ones sins can be forgiven if one repents to Allah sincerely the same way that the father of mankind sinned, repented, and was forgiven by Allah.
"O Lord, I have wronged myself. So forgive me. Verily save You there is no one who can protect from the consequences of sinning."
أستغفر الله لي وللمسلمين ، أستغفر الله لي وللمذنبين ، أستغفر الله لي وللخلق أجمعين ، أستغفر الله غفار الذنوب ، أستغفر الله ستار العيوب ، أستغفر الله حتى نقلع عن المعاصي ونتوب.
أستغفر الله حياء من الله ، أستغفر الله ولا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم
أستغفر الله
استغفر الله
استغفر الله
