Shaqeeq Al-Balhkee (rahimahullaah) said: The signs of being repentant are:
Weeping over what has elapsed (of sins); being fearful of falling into sin;abandoning evil (Muslim) brothers and keeping the company of the best people.

Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ۬ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا طَـٰٓٮِٕرٍ۬ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيۡهِ إِلَّآ أُمَمٌ أَمۡثَالُكُمۚ مَّا فَرَّطۡنَا فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مِن شَىۡءٍ۬ۚ
”There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book.” [6:38]
That is all the land and air animals, such as cattle, wild animals and birds–they are all nations like yourselves. (Allaah) created them just as He created you; (Allaah) provide them with sustenance just as He provide for you. They are all under the will and power of Allaah just as you are.
[مَّا فَرَّطۡنَا فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مِن شَىۡءٍ۬ۚ] ”We have neglected nothing in the Book.” There is nothing of these things that has been missed or forgotten by Allaah in the preserved tablet; rather all things—be they small or big—are written in the preserved tablet just as they are. All the events take place just as it was written down by the pen. This Ayah is a proof that the first Book (i.e. the Lawh Al-Mahfoodh) has all the things that will happen (i.e. written 50 years before the creation) and this is one of the levels of Devine Will and Decree. The Devine Will and Decree is of four levels:
[1] Allaah’s all-encompassing knowledge of all things; [2] The writing down of everything that will exist; [3] His all-encompassing Will and Power over everything; [4] He created all the creation, even the actions of the slaves.

Uncovering the Hidden Realities of Hizbollah: Part 4 – Iranian Rafidi Shia Proxies in Other Lands – Saudi Arabia
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Allaah (The Most High) informed us in Surah Ghaafir [Aayaat 41-44] that the believer said:
[وَيَـٰقَوۡمِ مَا لِىٓ أَدۡعُوڪُمۡ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَوٰةِ ] ”O my people! How is that I call you to salvation” by way of what I say to you; [وَتَدۡعُونَنِىٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّار ] ”while you call me to the fire” in order that (I) may abandon following the Prophet of Allaah Moosaa (alayhis-salaam).
Then he (the believer) explained: [تَدۡعُونَنِى لِأَڪۡفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَأُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ مَا لَيۡسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬ ] “You invite me to disbelieve in Allaah (and in His Oneness), and to join partners in worship with Him; of which I have no knowledge” and that it deserves to be worshiped besides Allaah, when speaking about Allaah without knowledge is from the greatest of sins and most repugnant of (affairs).
[وَأَنَا۟ أَدۡعُوڪُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡغَفَّـٰرِ] “And I invite you to the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving!”– The one that owns all power and others besides him do not have control over anything. The one that when His slaves transgress against themselves and act in a manner that incurs wrath, but then if they repent and turn to Him in repentance, submission and obedience, He expiates their evil deeds and sins, and prevents what such (sins and acts of disobedience) necessitate of punishment in this life and the next.
[لَا جَرَمَ] ”No doubt”; That is: In truth and with certainty that [أَنَّمَا تَدۡعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيۡهِ لَيۡسَ لَهُ ۥ دَعۡوَةٌ۬ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَلَا فِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ ] ”You call me to (worship) one who cannot grant (me) my request (or respond to my invocation) in this world or in the Hereafter;” That is: It is neither worthy of being invoked nor is (worthy) that protection is sought from it–neither in the world nor in the Hereafter due to its weakness and dificiency. Indeed it neither owns the power of benefit nor harm, and it neither owns the power to cause death nor give life, nor (the power) to resurrect.
[وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ] ”And our return will be to Allaah” [The Most High] and He will reward every doer of deeds for his deeds.
[وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ هُمۡ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ] ”And the (polytheists and arrogant one, those who commit great sins, the transgressors of Allaah’s set limits)! They shall be dwellers of the Fire!
So after he advised, warned and cautioned them, but they neither obeyed him nor agreed with him; he said to them:
[فَسَتَذۡكُرُونَ مَآ أَقُولُ لَڪُمۡۚ] ”And you will remember what I am telling you” concerning this advice and you shall see the consequences for not accepting it, when the punishment befalls you and you are deprived of much reward.
[وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمۡرِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ] ”And my affair I leave it to Allah;” That is: I turn to him; I seek shelter from Him and place all my affairs in His Hands. I rely on Him for my well-being and in repelling the harm I receive from you or others besides yourselves.
[إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ ] ”Verily, Allah is the All-Seer of (His) slaves.” He knows their state of affairs and what they deserve. He knows my state of affairs and weakness, so He will protect me against you and He suffices me against your evil. He knows your state of affairs and you cannot act except by His Pre-decree and Will. If you overpower me, then it will be wisdom from Him (The Most High) and that will occur due to His Pre-decree and Will.

May Allaah reward our brother Dawud [Markaz Mu’aadh (Slough)] for sending us these Aayaat as a reminder, so we decided to bring some few words of Imaam Sadi regarding them. We ask Allaah to include us amongst those who leave this worldly whilst being steadfast upon His Religion…Aameen.

Allaah (The Most High) said:
قُلۡ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُۗ
”Say (O Muhammad): “Allah has spoken the truth.” [3: 95]
وَمَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ قِيلاً۬
”And whose words can be truer than those of Allah? (Of course, none).” [4: 122]
وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثۡلُ خَبِيرٍ۬
”And none can inform you (O Muhammad) like Him Who is the All-Knower (of each and everything).” [35: 14]
قُلۡ أَىُّ شَىۡءٍ أَكۡبَرُ شَہَـٰدَةً۬ۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ
”Say (O Muhammad): “What thing is the most great in witness?” Say: “Allah (the Most Great!) is Witness between me and you.’‘[6:19]
لَّـٰكِنِ ٱللَّهُ يَشۡہَدُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ إِلَيۡكَۖ أَنزَلَهُ ۥ بِعِلۡمِهِۦۖ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ يَشۡهَدُونَۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَہِيدًا
”But Allah bears witness to that which He has sent down (the Qur’an) unto you (O Muhammad), He has sent it down with His Knowledge, and the angels bear witness. And Allah is All-Sufficient as a Witness.’‘ [4:166]
شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُ ۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ قَآٮِٕمَۢا بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَڪِيمُ
”Allah bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilah illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” [3: 18]
The Aayaat (concerning) this mighty affair are many, and they are indications to the clearest proofs that the most obligatory of obligations upon the slaves is that they should believe and testify to everything Allaah (The Most High) has stated about Himself–regarding His perfect Attributes and that which He negated from Himself regarding attributes of deficiency, and that Allaah is more knowledgeable of that than His creation. His testimony is the greatest testimony, and what He has stated about Himself and everything else is of the highest degree of truthfulness. So this makes it obligatory on the slave that he (or she) does not enter the least of doubt in his (or her) heart regarding any information given by Allaah. He (or she) is to place that (information) in his (or her) as a firm creed which can neither be opposed by anything in opposition nor blemished by (any) doubt.
He (or she) should know with certain knowledge that it is not possible for anything to (rightfully) oppose the information given by Allaah and His Messenger, and everything that opposes and negates it-regardless what type of knowledge that is- is self-evident falsehood. (It is) false in its judgement and there is nothing to be (considered) sound that can be in opposition to what Allaah has stated.
[Also these Aayaat (3:95; 4:122; 35:14; 6:19; 4:166; 3: 18 etc)] indicate towards the greatest proof that the one who establishes his (or her) creed solely on the information given by Allaah and His Messenger, then indeed he (or she) has established it upon a strong foundation; rather he (or she) has established it on the foundation of all sound foundations even if opponents were appointed or decreed for it.
And how can this not be the case [i.e. that he (or she) is established upon the basis of all sound foundations] when it is the (fact that) the sound intellectual proofs, the sound innate uncorrupted human disposition, the sound uncorrupted paths of comprehension and the sound uncorrupted human (self, frame of mind etc) are all in support of the information given by Allaah and His Messengers—testifying to the truthfulness of that which Allaah and His Messengers have stated and its benefits. And because of this Allaah has praised the people of sound understanding amongst the creation because they establish their creed based on this foundation. (Allaah informed us that they say):
رَّبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا ِ
“Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one (Muhammad) calling to Faith: ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed.” [3: 193]
وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا
”And they say, “We hear, and we obey.’‘ [2: 285)
الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ اللَّـهُ ۖ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
Those who listen to the Word [good advice La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and Islamic Monotheism, etc.] and follow the best thereof (i.e. worship Allah Alone, repent to Him and avoid Taghut, etc.) those are (the ones) whom Allah has guided and those are men of understanding (like Zaid bin ‘Amr bin Nufail, Salman Al-Farisi and Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari). [39:18]
And from this one knows that the innovated statements and creeds of the futile people of philosophical rhetoric have neither been given any authority by Allaah nor are they based on the Qur’aan and the Sunnah; rather they are founded on the intellects of those whose mistakes and deviation is known. (Their views) are the most futile of all futilities and the most foolish of all foolish affairs because they turn away from the information given by Allaah and His Messengers—deceived by their souls that call to evil and abandoned to their intellects, which have neither been purified by the realities of Imaan nor have they been nourished with sound Imaan and firm certainty.
This foundation (i.e. belief and testifying to all the information given Allaah and His Messengers) is enough to refute all the statements of the people of deviation with a clear observation, whilst being acquainted with the falsehood (of such statements) in detail. That is because when we know that (these statements) are in opposition to the clear revealed Islamic texts and the sound unambiguous proofs transmitted by (the scholars from the Book, the Sunnah and the Salaf), then we will know their futility. And that is because anything that opposes the truth is falsehood and that which is in opposition to truthfulness is a lie.
