In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Attributes of the Righteous
[Quran 3:133] You should eagerly race towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heavens and the earth; it awaits the righteous,


Every evening we see workers racing to go home. And children racing to go play. These are places and activities that bring joy and happiness.

We know also that the joy and happiness in Heaven are far beyond anything this world offers (Quran 32:17).

Reflection question: Are we as eager as a child running to play when we seek God's forgiveness? Or when we work towards making it to Paradise?
