Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,

Our Prophet ﷺ says, “The one who repents from sin is like one who did not sin.” So after repenting from sin, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla accepts the repentance. Allāh ﷻ created humans to make mistakes and commit sins, and He ﷻ wants them to repent. If someone says, “I have sinned, and nothing will erase my sin, so I will do it again,” then they have made a mistake. A person sins, repents, and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives that sin. The important thing is to repent and seek forgiveness; it is a favor from Allāh ﷻ. The Door of Repentance is open. Until the end of times, when Qiyāmah is near, then the Door of Repentance will close, and repentance will not be accepted. Then, one will be punished for his sins. But now, until that time, the Door of Repentance is open. Therefore, it is a great blessing to repent and seek forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ every day for the sins, mistakes, and shortcomings we have committed. It is a great virtue, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives our sins out of His ﷻ mercy and compassion. May Allāh ﷻ forgive us all.

There is no sinless person; young or old. There is no faultless person. Those who were faultless are gone. The last of them were the Prophets. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the last Prophet. He ﷺ is the sinless person. He ﷺ is the faultless person. After that, all have mistakes and sins. And Allāh ﷻ forgives after repentance and seeking forgiveness. May Allāh ﷻ forgive our mistakes and sins, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāh at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recitations of the Qu’ran; this time a thousand times more, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. There are verses, surahs, Yasin. They entrusted us with ayāt and surahs from the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, salawāt, salawāt of Dalā’il al-Khayrāt, tahlilāt, tasbihāt, salawāt to

our Prophet ﷺ, his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and companions, all the Prophets, ‘awliyā and asfiya. For the souls of all those who have passed away. To our mashāyikh, our Shaykh Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. For the souls of believing men and women, Muslim men and women. Whatever good goals they had when reciting this, may Allāh ﷻ accept it and grant it to them. May He ﷻ bring happiness to all of us here and hereafter. May He ﷻ strengthen our faith.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala el Fatiha.
