Deep inside us there is a voice that tells us what's right from wrong. We may kid ourselves sometimes with some excuses to justify why we engaged in haram but we all know that they are nothing more than excuses. We know even when we say we didn't know...

Not one chance but an indefinite amount of chances. Allah's mercy encompasses all. The most wretched is the one who turns away. Everything I need to be successful is right there. Right within grasp. If I choose to be a loser it'd be my loss.

Al Samee Allah is All Hearing
Al Basit Allah is the One who continually provides and blesses.
Al Hadee The One who Guides
At Tawab the One who Accepts Repentance
