Yusuf (peace be upon him) was wronged terribly at the hands of resentment and jealousy. Schemed against, catapulted into a well, captured by traders, jailed unjustly and torn apart from his father for years. Yet he chose to seek forgiveness for his brothers. And Allah forgave.
The story of Yusuf alayhissalam demonstrates the limitless capacity of Allah's forgiveness.
Our sins may be of a tremendous magnitude but Allah's capacity to forgive is unparalleled particularly in a month gift wrapped with forgiveness for its repenting recipients.
Ramadhan is a month which begins with mercy, it's middle is forgiveness and it's end is emancipation from the Hellfire.
These elements are not unconnected.
It is Allah's untold mercy that brings His forgiveness and His forgiveness that warrants protection from the Hellfire.
So hold your arms wide open and take the ticket to forgiveness when it arrives on your doorstep.
"Oh Allah, you are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.
Ameen 🌼
