Guide you to good deeds and repentance of sins
6- Guide you to good deeds and repentance of sins :
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said that if Allaah The Almighty loves a slave, He guides him to do good deeds before his death. [Ibn Hibbaan, Al-Haakim, and Al-Bayhaqi] [Al-Albaani: Saheeh]
Al-Fudhayl, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “If Allaah loves a slave, He guides him to do good deeds. So, try to draw closer to Allaah The Almighty through love for the poor.” [I‘tiqaad Ahl As-Sunnah]
Al-Sha‘bi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “They used to say that the one who repents of the sin is like the one who has not committed a sin in the first place. Allaah The Exalted also stated that He loves the ones constantly repenting and the ones constantly purifying themselves. Hence, if Allaah The Almighty loves a slave, no sin can harm him, and the harmless sin is as if it has never happened.” [Hilyat Al-Awliyaa’]
It is one of the signs of acceptance in the sight of Allaah The Almighty to be guided to good deeds, and keep away from sins. Hence, if Allaah The Almighty loves a slave, He guides him to good deeds that draw him near to Him, and protects him from all evils. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {Indeed, Allaah defends those who have believed. Indeed, Allaah does not like everyone treacherous and ungrateful.} [Quran 22:38]
