SIXTY YEARS

113

“Allah continues to forgive a person till he reaches the age of sixty years.”

Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

SEEKING FORGIVENESS

Allah, the Exalted says:

“… ask for forgiveness of your sins.....” 47:19 Koran

“And ask the forgiveness of Allah.....” 4:106 Koran

“… exalt with the praise of your Lord

and ask forgiveness from Him.” 110:3 Koran

“’For the cautious with their Lord,

theirs shall be Gardens underneath which rivers flow,

where they shall live for ever,

and purified spouses, and pleasure from Allah.’

Allah is watching over His worshipers.

Those are they who say:

‘Lord, we believe in You,

forgive us our sins and save us

from the punishment of the Fire,’

who are patient, truthful, obedient,

and charitable and who ask forgiveness at dawn.” 3:15-17 Koran

“He who does evil or wrongs himself

and then asks forgiveness of Allah

will find that Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.” 4:110 Koran

“But Allah was not to punish them

while you were living in there midst.

Nor would He punish them

if they repeatedly ask forgiveness of Him.” 8:33 Koran

“and those who, if they commit indecency

or wrong themselves remember Allah

and ask forgiveness of their sins -

for who but Allah forgives sins -

and those who do not persist in what they do

while they know.” 3:135 Koran
