About this video

We usually think about what repentance does for us. The Prophet ﷺ described what our return means on the other side, and the word he used was joy. This calm, sourced explainer covers the lost-camel hadith, Qur'an 39:53 and 66:8, an-Nawawi's summary of a sincere return, and what to do when you fall into the same sin again, with framing from Dr Israr Ahmed (Tauba ki Azmat aur Taseer; Bayan-ul-Qur'an) and Maulana Maududi (Tafhim al-Qur'an).
