DONT GO INTO DEPRESSION AFTER COMMITTING A SIN

NEVER LOOSE HOPE IN THE MERCY OF YOUR CREATOR!

When you commit some sin do not despair of attaining closeness with your Rabb because, perhaps this is the last sin destined for you.

      When you commit some sin as a result of human nature, never allow this sin to bring about the slightest change in your determination to remain steadfast on the Deen and do not permit it to slacken your bond with Allah Ta’ala. Do not be deceived by the thought: ‘I am unable to remain steadfast on the Deen, hence my sinning.’ Do not think that firmness on the Deen is impossible on account of the sin committed. With this idea, do not become audacious in sin. This idea which you entertain is baseless because a sin committed as a result of the weakness in human nature is not in conflict with firmness on the Deen. Yes, persistence in sins, abstention from taubah and deliberate commission of sin are negatory of firmness (Istiqaamat).

      It is quite possible that the sin committed may be the last decreed for you and thereafter such mercy may be directed to you, that you will commit no further sin.
