Poem: When You've Done Tawbah Don't Look Back On Your Past

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 When you've done Tawbah and begged for Allah's Forgiveness,
Resolve to not return to the sins you committed.
In reminiscing your past be uninterested.
There's no peace in recalling what is prohibited.
~•~
Lost gang of wrong friends, former addiction to music,
Forgotten interests to try drugs or cigarettes,
And experimenting with haraam relationships -
Leave them all behind. Your sins don't deserve to be missed.
~•~
Keep moving forward to Allah's Path without regret.
If some things bring back memories, do not get upset.
Be grateful that Allah saved you and you passed those tests.
A sin you no longer do - don't proudly discuss it.
~•~
Evil deeds you used to do shouldn't be narrated,
Unless warning or advice is what is intended.
Repenting from a sin must also make you lenient,
When you see some doing it, you advise with patience.
~•~
Strive to avoid sinning, while knowing we're not perfect.
Your previous days of jaahiliyyah try to forget.
If in the future you do the same mistake or slip,
Defeat shaytan with Tawbah. Pray that Allah forgives.
~•~
📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, “The one who completely repented of a sin is like one who has not sinned at all.”
