The Shores of Forgiveness: Where Hearts Find Peace

By: Dr Houria Abdelrehem

حين تضيق الروح بأوجاع الزمان ..

اهرب بنفسك الي شواطئ الاستغفار

‏من أدام الاستغفار فتحت له المغاليق

‏يُحكى أنَّ قلباً ...

حَنَّ ..فأَنَّ ...فسَبَّحَ... فاستغفَر.... فدَعَا

فابتهَلَ... فارتَاحَ ... فاطمَئنَّ فابتَسم .

{ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ}

امض مستغفرا لعلك تنام مغفورا لك

اللهُمَّ اجعل قُلوبنا مُطمئنة ... وبالأمانِ مُستقرة واكتُب لنا الراحة أينما كُنّـا .

When the soul feels burdened by the pains of time…

Flee with yourself to the shores of seeking forgiveness.

Whoever persists in seeking forgiveness, closed doors will be opened for them.

It is said that a heart once…

Yearned… then sighed… then glorified [God]… then sought forgiveness… then prayed…

Then pleaded… then found relief… then felt at peace… then smiled.

{“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”}

Go on seeking forgiveness—perhaps you will sleep while already forgiven.

O Allah, make our hearts tranquil… anchored in safety… and grant us comfort wherever we may be.
