O man! How sinful and foolish you are not to know the worth of the bounties of your Provider. After having spent years in disobedience and after prolonged disloyalty to such a merciful Lord, Who has provided all the means of your comfort and ease? Without there being any imaginable benefit to Him? Having violated His sanctities and taken shamelessness and recalcitrance to their extreme, now that you are remorseful, penitent and repentant, Allah Almighty has taken you as His loved one. What an abundance of mercy and plenitude of bounty! O Allah! We are incapable of thanking you for your bounties. Our tongues are unable to praise and extol you. All that we can do is to bow our heads in shame and ask your pardon for our shamelessness. We don't deserve your mercy. Indeed, your mercy is more abundant and your bounties are more inclusive than can be described. ? A wise man should endeavor to intensify the form of contrition and grief in the heart so that Allah willing, it sets aflame the fire of remorse. That is, through meditation about the terrible consequences of sin, remorse becomes stronger in his heart, thereby voluntarily kindling the holy fire, the fire about which Qur'an says: The fire of Allah kindled (roaring) over the hearts, a vault upon them, in outstretched columns (104:6-8). In his heart, burning the fire of remorse will incinerate all his sins and burn away all its rust and corrosion. He should know that were he not to kindle himself this fire in this world and were he not to open upon himself the door of this hell, he would inevitably pass from this world into the next world to face the terribly cauterizing fire prepared for him there. Thereupon the doors of Hell shall be opened and the doors of Paradise closed to him. A wise person thus realizes the grave consequences of his sins. ? O Allah! Give us a chest lit with the fire of remorse. Set our hearts aflame with the worldly fire and set it afire by throwing into it the sparks of remorse. Remove the rust of our hearts and take us from this world in a state of freedom from the consequences of sins. Surely you are the Lord of bounties. [Adopted from Al-Khomeini, Forty Hadith, chapter 17, 'Tawbah]
Imam Zain al-Abidin (PBUH) said: "OH Allah! You are He who has opened a door to your pardon and named it 'repentance' for you said, 'Repent to Allah with unswerving (sincere) repentance' (66: 8). What is the excuse for him who remains heedless of entering the door after its opening?"
