 Allah to say the sin I'm gonna change it into Hassanat. What kind of mercy is this? Remembrance of Allah removes the sins attracts divine mercy. You know brothers and sisters the word thick means remembrance and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala only instructs the human being to do thick. Everything else does tasbeeh. Malayka they do tasbeeh. The mountains they do it does tasbeeh. Ma min shayin illa yusabbihu bi hamdi. Wala killa tafqahuna tasbeehahu. Allah doesn't tell the mountain to do thick. Allah doesn't tell Malayka to do thick. Allah doesn't tell the trees to do thick. Why? Because thicker means remembrance. You only ask someone to do thick if they have the potential to forget. Do Malayka forget for them to do thick? Doesn't they moon the sun? Are these entities that forget? Only insan is invited to remember because some arab linguists they say the word insan some say that it comes from the word nisyan which means to forget because it's in the nature of the human being to forget. This is why Allah has legislated Salat five times a day. If there was no Salat you know we human beings we forget who we are so Allah has to remind us. He makes us put our faces on the ground so we remember where we came from and where we're going. If it wasn't for this Salat on a regular basis many of us would become like Pharaoh. Allah wants you to physically go down and rub your face on the earth to know who is the Lord and who is the servant. There's a hadith from the holy prophet where he says there is not a single group of people who come together and they remember Allah except that a caller will call out to this congregation a caller will call out to this majlis to this gathering saying that rise up for Allah not only has he forgiven you know it would be merciful if Allah says you have a clear record now it would be merciful of Allah to say you know what the sin is still on your record but I'm not going to punish you you know sometimes if you speed right if you have a heavy foot you get a ticket but maybe they'll wave the fine right you don't pay a fine but it's still on your record maybe they can remove it from your record if we commit sin and Allah says it's on your record but there's no adab Allah would be merciful if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says I will remove the adab and I'll remove it from your record this would also be a rahmah but for Allah to say the sin I'm going to change it into hasanat what kind of mercy is this that I will transform the sins into good deeds and I will reward you this is the power of dhikr is this a lord who is eager to punish brothers and sisters there was a man Hassan al-Basri he comes to Imam Zayn al-Aabideen he says you know sometimes you meet people you know they're not that religious and they're shocked they're like how are you so religious it's difficult it's going to be difficult to go to jannah so many do's and don'ts this man is saying the same thing to Imam Zayn al-Aabideen I'm amazed how does someone attain salvation so much red tape so many rules you know you oh you look at the book of our marajah it's a thick book so much haram ustahab makrut a lot of rules a lot of do's and don'ts what does the Imam say does the Imam say you know you're right it's difficult the Imam says he says as for me I am shocked I am amazed at the one who is punished by Allah in the hellfire despite the fact that Allah is so merciful this is really a jib to go to the hellfire
