Why not hope from The Most Generous?

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim. In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Verily, humans are always engaged in a chemical warfare in their brain. These shots are called by the emotions that haunt him, the concerns that are ever lurking and needs that are always growing. Due to this and many other reasons, people often find themselves lost or depressed. Every new day brings with itself, its own worries, troubles and problems.

But, do not despair, remember that you have Allah. The Most Generous, The Most Affectionate, The Most Kind and Giving and The Most Merciful.

Know that Allah is so Forgiving that Allah is
al-'Afûw
al-Ghaffâr
al-Ghafûr.

From the collection of forty hadith by al-Imam al-Nawawi, the last hadith (no 42) is as follow...

From Anas, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:

"Allah the Almighty has said: 'O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and hope in Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds in the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with an earthful of sins and were you then to face Me, without having associated anything with Me, I shall grant you an earthful of pardon.'"

[Recorded by Al-Tirmidhi, who said that it is a good and sound hadith]


Hadith number 37 tells us of another great news. Allah, the Most Merciful

Ibn Abbas, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He):

"Verily Allah has recorded the good deeds and the evil deeds." Then he clarified that: "Whosoever intends to do a good deed but does not do it, Allah records it with Himself as a complete good deed; but if he intends it and does it, Allah records it with Himself as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times, or more than that. But if he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, Allah records it with Himself as a complete good deed; but if he intends it and does it, Allah records it down as one single evil deed."

[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]



Thus,

Have no fear, for Allah is with us
(Excerpt from verse 40, At-Taubah)


I think that should be enough for now.
Thank you very much.

-Wallahu a'lam-
Allah knows best
