Even if some of these things are halaal, accepting and eating them is part of celebrating with them. We are ordered to oppose and be different from the disbelievers in all their customs, manners and social interactions.
As our prophet Muhammad ﷺ
said: "Whoever imitates a people, then he is from them."
Imitating Christians, Jews and others is from the major sins, so it's imperative that we Muslims stay far away from resembling Christians in what they are doing at this time of the year.
This includes the second big celebration they have following Christmas; New Year's Day.
We Muslims follow the Hijriah calendar not the Christian calendar. Our first month of each year is Muharram, not January. With that said, we do not take the first day of Muharram to be a day of celebration.
Muslims have to stay far away from the disbelievers festivities of drinking, partying, eating and joining together for parties on this, their New Year's Day.
Composed by one in need of his Lord's forgiveness and mercy,

Christmas is a festival of major Shirk where Christians worship 'Ēsā who they call Jesus. They make him into a God and elevate him far above Allāh, Who sent him.
The name "Christmas" linguistically, is made up of two words, "Christ", which comes from the Greek word, "Kristos" meaning "annointed" and "Mass". This Mass is
a ceremony resembling cannibalism which they perform regularly in their churches, especially now at Christmas time.
A priest lifts up a cup of wine and says, "The blood of Jesus, shed for our sins." and then drinks from it before passing it around the congregation, until they all take a sip of this wine, now called the blood of 'Eesaa (which came out of his body when he was crucified).
Then the priest takes some bread, lifts it up, and says, "The body of Jesus, broken for us." He breaks the bread, eats from it, then everyone else takes a bite of 'Ēsā's broken body, killed for them and swallows it down.
Christians in their distorted and evil 'Aqīdah, say that 'Ēsā was the sacrificial lamb sent by Allāh, (and he was also Allāh Himself) who came to earth in the form of a human to be slain for them and his blood cleanses them from all their sins and they now go to heaven because 'Ēsā (or God accordingto them) died on the cross for them!
ولا حولى ولا قوة إلا بالله!
There is no power not might except with Allāh!
Allāh ﷻ said:
{وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ}
"And because of what they said in boasting, "We killed 'Ēsā, the Maseeh, son of Maryam." But they neither killed him or crucified him."' [An Nisā' 4:157]
As we well know, the Jews came to arrest 'Ēsā but Allāh rose him up into heaven before they could reach him and they captured another man, thinking him to be 'Ēsā and crucified him instead.
Was 'Ēsā born on the 25th December?
Nobody knows exactly when he was born. Many Christian scholars come to the conclusion that he took birth in the spring time which agrees with a song or carol they sing with the wording, "When shepherds watched their flocks by night..." One of their Christmas fables tells them that some shepherds received a divine message that 'Ēsā had been born on earth and this was while they were keeping awake out in the fields at night, guarding their sheep. However, if 'Ēsā had really been born in December, which is winter time, these shepherds would have been at home keeping warm in their beds and their sheep would have been in their pens, huddled together to keep warm in the winter nights.
So why did they make
25th December to be his birthday?
25th of this month, falls close to the shortest day of the year, 21st December. When the early Christian missionaries came to Britain and Northern Europe, they found people worshipping at this time of the year as they were looking forward to the coming of longer and soon to be warmer days. So to trick the pagan people living then into worshipping 'Ēsā instead of the coming of a change in seasons, they put 'Ēsā's birthday at that time. People also worshipped evergreen trees and see how they now have Christmas trees in their homes, places of work, shops etc.
And the people of the past also worshipped stars, angels and jinn, so you see how Christians now put stars on top of their Christmas trees, or an angel or a fairey (jinn). All these things are symbols of polytheism and disbelief.
Another trick Christian missionaries used to get people to worship 'Ēsā as well as his mother Maryam who they call Mary, was to paint or draw a halo which is a coloured circular ring behind the heads of whoever they wanted worshipped. The pagan people they were preaching to, used to worship the sun, so to get them to worship 'Ēsā or saints or Maryam (who the Catholics call the Mother of God!!), they painted these yellow halos around their heads.

(Many old paintings that hang in art galleries and can be found in older Christian churches or cathedrals, clearly show these bright yellow or gold or orange circles or halos behind the heads of 'Ēsā, Maryam and other their saints, they worship). If you look on Christmas cards today which they send one another you may still see these halos or circles around the head of pictures of 'Ēsā or Maryam.
'Ēsā always made it clear why he came to earth, which was to call the people of his time to worship Allāh alone.
When he was a babe in the arms of his mother, he spoke to the Jews, saying,
﴿إِنِّى عَبْدُ ٱللهِ ءَاتَىٰنِىَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِى نَبِيًّا﴾
"Truly I am a slave of Allāh. He has given me a scripture and made me a Prophet."
He said:
﴿وَإِنَّ ٱللهَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ﴾
"And verily Allāh is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him Alone. That is the Straight and Correct Path." [Maryam 19:30, 36]
Christians ignore what is obvious, that 'Ēsā was only a prophet and that his mother was only a devout, chaste and saintly woman and instead carry on in veneration and glorification of him and his mother, instead of making all these things for Allāh alone.
At this time of the year, Christians will hang mistletoe, a special leaf from a tree, under doorways or other places and an ancient pagan rite teaches them that they should kiss anyone they find under it. Another excuse for indecency and immorality at this time of the year.
They also hang wreaths or circular arrangements of holly leaves and their red berries on the outside doorways of their homes. These leaves have sharp pointed ends like thorns and along with the red holly berries, represent to them the crown of thorns supposedly placed on 'Ēsā's head when he was captured and tortured before he was crucified. The red berries symbolise the blood that flowed from his head. (The blood they say came from God's head, when He appeared in the form of 'Ēsā, to redeem them from their sins!)
لا حول ولا قوة إلا الله!
There is no power or might except with Allāh!
You will find they sometimes bake cakes in the shape of a log of wood, called the Yule Log. This is another leftover from pagan rites or rituals that took place at this time of the year for those polytheists living in Northern Europe and Britain.
Is it permissible to celebrate the birthday of one of Allāh's Prophets and Messengers?
Even if 25th December was really the birthday of 'Ēsā, it's still not permissible for anyone to make that day a day of celebration or 'Eid. If that was allowed, the noble Companions of Muhammad ﷺ would have been the first of people to make his birthday a day of enjoyment, and of eating and drinking. Neither did Muhammad ﷺ allow this nor did any of the righteous believers from the past celebrate the birthdays of their Prophets. Christians invented this foolishness and disobedience themselves, along with all the other evils they perform now; the worst of them being Shirk with Allāh.
This time of the year between Christmas and New Year's Day witnesses the highest incidents of hit and run driving. More people get killed or seriously injured by drunken drivers who hit them in their cars and then take off.
Drunkenness, drug taking, homosexuality, fornication, these are all part of their merriment and enjoyment in this season.
As Muslims we are not allowed to reply to Christians or anyone else when they say to us "Merry Christmas!" or "Happy Christmas!" or "Happy New Year!"
These greetings are not to be responded to. We are not allowed to join in their celebrations or congratulate them or give them gifts or presents at this time of the year. Nor are we allowed to accept presents from them or accept invitations to eat with them. Nor can we take gifts of the special foods they eat during this festival of theirs. From them are mince pies, Christmas cakes, Christmas puddings, and walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts are all from the foods they especially take at Christmas time.

A Reply to a Doubt
There are some who claim that if the Christians congratulate the Muslims for their Islamic celebrations then it is upon the Muslims to congratulate them back during their celebrations, which is totally wrong and incorrect because congratulating them upon that is actually congratulating them upon their falsehood, rather Islam calls to opposing the kufaar in that.

Happy New Year?
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah:
"Congratulating the kuffaar on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’ or ‘May you enjoy your festival,’ and so on. If the one who says this has been saved from kufr, it is still forbidden. It is like congratulating someone for prostrating to the cross, or even worse than that. It is as great a sin as congratulating someone for drinking wine, or murdering someone, or having illicit sexual relations, and so on. Many of those who have no respect for their religion fall into this error; they do not realize the offensiveness of their actions. Whoever congratulates a person for his disobedience or bid’ah or kufr exposes himself to the wrath and anger of Allaah."
"Congratulating the kuffaar on their religious festivals is haraam to the extent described by Ibn al-Qayyim because it implies that one accepts or approves of their rituals of kufr, even if one would not accept those things for oneself. But the Muslim should not aceept the rituals of kufr or congratulate anyone else for them, because Allaah does not accept any of that at all, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
'If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. . .'
[Az-Zumar 39:7]
'. . . This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion . . .'
[Al-Maa’idah 5:3]
So congratulating them is forbidden, whether they are one’s colleagues at work or otherwise. If they greet us on the occasion of their festivals, we should not respond, because these are not our festivals, and because they are not festivals which are acceptable to Allaah. These festivals are innovations in their religions, and even those which may have been prescribed formerly have been abrogated by the religion of Islaam, with which Allaah sent Muhammad (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) to the whole of mankind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
'Whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.'
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]
It is haraam for a Muslim to accept invitations on such occasions, because this is worse than congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations.
Similarly, Muslims are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar by having parties on such occasions, or exchanging gifts, or giving out sweets or food, or taking time off work, etc., because the Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
'Whoever imitates a people is one of them.'
Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtidaa’ al-siraat al-mustaqeem mukhaalifat ashaab al-jaheem:
'Imitating them in some of their festivals implies that one is pleased with their false beliefs and practices, and gives them the hope that they may have the opportunity to humiliate and mislead the weak.'
Whoever does anything of this sort is a sinner, whether he does it out of politeness or to be friendly, or because he is too shy to refuse, or for whatever other reason, because this is hypocrisy in Islaam, and because it makes the kuffaar feel proud of their religion. Allaah is the One Whom we ask to make the Muslims feel proud of their religion, to help them adhere steadfastly to it, and to make them victorious over their enemies, for He is the Strong and Omnipotent."

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]
It is haraam for a Muslim to accept invitations on such occasions, because this is worse than congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations.
Similarly, Muslims are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar by having parties on such occasions, or exchanging gifts, or giving out sweets or food, or taking time off work, etc., because the Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
'Whoever imitates a people is one of them.'
Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtidaa’ al-siraat al-mustaqeem mukhaalifat ashaab al-jaheem:
'Imitating them in some of their festivals implies that one is pleased with their false beliefs and practices, and gives them the hope that they may have the opportunity to humiliate and mislead the weak.'
Whoever does anything of this sort is a sinner, whether he does it out of politeness or to be friendly, or because he is too shy to refuse, or for whatever other reason, because this is hypocrisy in Islaam, and because it makes the kuffaar feel proud of their religion. Allaah is the One Whom we ask to make the Muslims feel proud of their religion, to help them adhere steadfastly to it, and to make them victorious over their enemies, for He is the Strong and Omnipotent."
[Majmoo’ah Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 3/369]

READING BENEFIT
There are two types of (هَمْزَة):
1. Hamzatul Qaṭ' (هَمْزَةُ ٱلْقَطْع)
2. Hamzatul Waṣl (هَمْزَةُ ٱلْوَصْل)
___
What is Hamzatul Qaṭ' (هَمْزَةُ ٱلْقَطْع)?
This is the همزة that is ALWAYS pronounced; whether at the beginning, middle, or end of a word, and it appears in one of 6 forms:
أ آ إ ء ئ ؤ
Examples:
آمَنَ، أَعُوذُ، أُمِرُوا، إِذَا، سُوءٍ، بِئْسَ، سُؤَالٌ
NOTE:
This (آ) is actually = أَا.
___
What is Hamzatul Waṣl (هَمْزَةُ ٱلْوَصْل)?
This is the connecting Hamzah (ٱ). It is an 'ADDITIONAL' همزة prefixed to words which start with Sukūn to allow for easier pronunciation WHEN STARTING WITH THE WORD.
Try reading these words:
سْمٌ، بْنٌ، كْتُبْ، قْرَأْ، لْبَيْتُ، لْقِدْرُ
Try reading them now:
ٱِسْمٌ، ٱِبْنٌ، ٱُكْتُبْ، ٱِقْرَأْ، ٱَلْبَيْتُ، ٱَلْقِدْرُ
Which group of words is easier to pronounce?
Well...according to the 'Arabs, the words with the additional Hamzah at the beginning are easier to pronounce, hence why they NEVER begin any word with a Sukūn!
NOTE: The Hamzatul Waṣl is only pronounced when starting with the word. If we are continuing from a previous word, the Hamzatul Waṣl is dropped!
Examples:
وَٱسْمٌ = wasmu-n | ٱسْمٌ = ismu-n
وَٱبْنٌ = wabnu-n | ٱبْنٌ = ibnu-n
وَٱكْتُبْ = waktub | ٱكْتُبْ = uktub
وَٱقْرَأْ = 'waqra | ٱقْرَأْ = 'iqra
وَٱلْبَيْتُ = walbaytu | ٱلْبَيْتُ = Al-baytu
وَٱلْقِدْرُ = walqidru | ٱلْقِدْرُ = Al-qidru
___
BENEFIT: Hamzatul Waṣl occurs in:
1. Nouns - أَسْمَاءٌ
2. Verbs - أَفْعَالٌ
3. Particles - حُرُوفٌ
How is هَمْزَةُ ٱلْوَصْل pronounced?
The Hamzatul Waṣl may be pronounced with any of the three vowels (Ḥarkāt). Although, its pronunciation depends on what type of word it occurs in.
1⃣ In the beginning of VERBS (command forms) it is pronounced with:
A: Ḍhammah; if the third letter carries a CONSTANT Ḍhammah.
Example:
ٱكْتُبْ = uktub
B: Kasrah; if the third letter has a fat-ḥah, kasrah or an INCONSTANT Ḍhammah.
Example:
iqra' = ٱقْرَأْ
ijlis = ٱجْلِسْ
imshū = ٱمْشُوا
NOTE: The Ḍhammah in the last example is not constant; it was originally a Kasrah which has been replaced with a Ḍhammah to allow for easier pronunciation of the wāw. I'm sure you'll agree that it's much easier to say: ْشُو than: شِوْ
NOTE: In past tense verbs, the hamzatul waṣl will be read with a kasarah:
اِنتقل، اِنكسر، اِستخرج
2⃣ In the beginning of NOUNS it is always pronounced with a kasrah (ـِ)
Example:
ٱنْتِفَاعٌ = intifā'u-n
3⃣ In the beginning of PARTICLES.
The only particle which Hamaztul Waṣl enters upon is the Lām of the definite article (لْ) / لَامُ ٱلتَّعْرِيْفِ
In this case the هَمْزَةُ الوَصْلِ is always pronounced with a Fat-ḥah!
Example:
ٱلْكِتَابُ = Al-kitābu

How to Deal With a Wife Who is in Contact With Other Men
Question: He says that he has discovered his wife's infidelity through her mobile phone, as she has been in contact with strange men. They have two children together, and he remains uncertain about what to do. He also states that this has happened repeatedly, leaving him unsure whether he is in a dream or lost in confusion. He is on the verge of collapse. What is the ruling in the Shari'ah on this matter, and what do you advise him to do?
Sheikh Fatḥ Al-Qadasi ḥafidhahullāh:
If it has been confirmed that his wife is involved in relationships with strange men, then there is no good in her. She may continue communicating with them until she betrays him with the ultimate betrayal (i.e. Zina). Such a woman has no good in her as she is has not remained faithful to her husband in his absence; rather, she has betrayed him. There is also a serious concern that she could bring into his household children who are not his.
Thus, may Allāh bless you, he has no option but to separate from her—especially if the suspicion has grown stronger and he has reason to believe that she meets with them or sends them pictures or other inappropriate things. This would indicate that she is prepared to engage in immoral acts, may Allāh protect us. This is assuming that such acts have not already taken place.
A woman like this will ruin his children’s upbringing and betray him in terms of intimacy. Therefore, I advise him to separate from her, and Allāh is the One who grants help. She is the one who has destroyed her own household and brought this upon herself. He should seek a righteous wife who will remain loyal to him in his absence, and Allāh will not forsake him if he leaves something for His sake.
If it was merely a one off message or a momentary lapse instigated by Shayṭān, without any persistence, and she has realised her mistake and sincerely repented, then as a form of discipline, her mobile phone may be taken away to prove the sincerity of her claim that it was a momentary slip and that she will not repeat it. This applies if it was just a one off message or the receipt of a message from an unfamiliar man without further involvement.
However, if there has been persistent communication, including messages, pictures, and other such disgraceful acts, then she has become morally compromised. She will not only harm herself but also her husband, their children, and their entire family. Such behaviour will bring a bad reputation upon them and ultimately lead to the destruction of their home. And Allāh is the One Whose aid is sought.

None Of You Should Die Except While He Is Having Good Thoughts About Allaah
Imaam An-Nawawee & Imaam Al-Manaawee
May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Them
Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Three days before he died, I heard the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وسلّم) say (translated meaning):
لاَ يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ الظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
"None of you should die except while he is having good thoughts about Allaah ('Azza wa Jal)."
[Saheeh Muslim]
Imaam An-Nawawee's Explanation:
(From his explanation of Saheeh Muslim)
"Regarding the statement of the Prophet (صل الله عليه وسلم):
"None of you should die except while he is having good thoughts about Allaah."
Scholars have said that this is a warning against losing hope and despairing (of Allaah’s Mercy) and an encouragement to have hope especially at the time of death.
Allaah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aalaa) also said in the previous Hadeeth (interpretation of the meaning):
“I am as my servant thinks of Me.”
And (considering both Ahaadeeth) scholars explain that "having good thoughts about Allaah" means that an individual should expect Allaah to have mercy on him and pardon him.
Some scholars have also said that during times of wellbeing and health, an individual should have both hope and fear in Allaah and these two feelings should be equally balanced. Others say that one’s fear should be more, but when the signs of death approach, a person’s hope in Allaah’s mercy should become stronger.
This is because the very purpose of having fear of Allaah is to prevent oneself from committing sins and ugly deeds and to increase in obedience and good deeds. And those things are most often not possible during that situation (i.e., during the last moments of one’s death).
Instead, in that situation, assuming good thoughts about Allaah is preferable which would cause one to have feelings of destitution and submission and to feel oneself in total need of Allaah (the Most High).
The Hadeeth mentioned by Imaam Muslim right after this one also supports this understanding:
"يُبْعَثُ كُلُّ عَبْدٍ عَلَى مَا مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ"
"Every servant will be resurrected according to what he died upon." [Saheeh Muslim]
Scholars explain that it means each individual will be resurrected in the same state in which he died. The next Hadeeth (in Imaam Muslim’s authentic collection) also supports this:
"إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ عَذَابًا أَصَابَ الْعَذَابُ مَنْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ بُعِثُوا عَلَى
أَعْمَالِهِمْ."
"When Allaah intends to punish an entire group of people, the punishment afflicts them all, but then each is resurrected according to (his individual) deeds. [Saheeh Muslim]
And the Hadeeth:
"إِنَّمَا يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ"
"People will only be resurrected upon their (individual) intentions.""
[Sunan Ibn Maajah. Graded 'Saheeh' by Shaykh Al-Albaanee in 'Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3407]
Imaam Al-Manaawee’s Explanation:
(Taken from Al-Manaawee’s, Faydhul-Qadeer)
"His (صلّى الله عليه وسلّم) statement:
"None of you should die except while he is having good thoughts about Allaah." means:
Let none of you die under any circumstance except while in the state of thinking good about Allaah (the Most High) in that He will be merciful with you and pardon you. This is because when a person’s time of passing arrives and his journey comes to an end, his fear (of Allaah) has no real purpose (to prevent him from bad deeds during life). It would perhaps lead him to despair and to a feeling of restriction of (Allaah’s) Mercy and Bounties.
Whoever at that time, even if his heart were laden with major sins, begins expecting the best (of his Lord) and increases in hope, he has then perfected his provisions for his arrival to his Lord…
At-Teebee said:
"The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وسلّم) instructs one to ensure he does not die in any state other than expecting and assuming good about Allaah. And this does not mean one can change destiny or fate. Rather, what is intended is that an individual is commanded to have good thoughts (about Allaah) so that

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Them
Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Three days before he died, I heard the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وسلّم) say (translated meaning):
لاَ يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ الظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
"None of you should die except while he is having good thoughts about Allaah ('Azza wa Jal)."

▪️He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving▪️
Our Shaykh, Abu Abdillah Muhammad ba Jamaal - may Allaah preserve him - said in his Tafsir of Surah Al-Mulk:
🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️
✨ Benefit:
Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:
{وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُور}
"He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving” [67:2]
⤵️The Shaikh explained that this means:
‘Allah is extremely powerful in taking to account all that disobey and oppose His command. And He is the Most Honorable, Ever-Invincible. Yet with all of this ultimate power, He is Ever-Forgiving to the one that repents to Him from his mistakes then leaves them to return to His Lord.
And He combines between these two names to clarify to His servants the greatness of His forgiveness for them and to show the completeness of His power over them.
And His saying,
{الْغَفُورُ}
“The Forgiving”
This name comes on the scale in Arabic that means to do alot of. And this points to Allah’s great and tremendous forgiveness and in the numerous amounts that He forgives and it also shows how much the servant sins.
And the proof of Allah's amazing forgiveness is the hadith Qudsi that Imaam Muslim compiled from Abu Dhar (رضي الله عنه)
“ And he who meets Me in the state that his sins fill the earth, but not associating anything with Me, I would meet Him with the same (vastness) of pardon (on My behalf)."
And also the supporting hadith that Imaam Tirmidhi reported on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) also from Abu Dhar that the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,
‘O son of Adam! Verily as long as you called upon Me and hoped in Me, I forgave you, despite whatever may have occurred from you, and I did not mind. O son of Adam! Were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky, then you sought forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you, and I would not mind. So son of Adam! If you came to me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and then you met Me not associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as it.'
So oh servant of Allah, the one constantly committing mistakes and disobeying his Lord, never despair of the mercy of Allah. Know that if you repent to Allah, He forgives all sins, again and again and again.

And also the supporting hadith that Imaam Tirmidhi reported on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) also from Abu Dhar that the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,
‘O son of Adam! Verily as long as you called upon Me and hoped in Me, I forgave you, despite whatever may have occurred from you, and I did not mind. O son of Adam! Were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky, then you sought forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you, and I would not mind. So son of Adam! If you came to me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and then you met Me not associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as it.'
So oh servant of Allah, the one constantly committing mistakes and disobeying his Lord, never despair of the mercy of Allah. Know that if you repent to Allah, He forgives all sins, again and again and again.
