Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalaamu Alaikum.
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “The devil said to his Lord, ‘By Your Glory and Majesty! As long as the children of Adam exist on earth, I shall continuously misguide them.’ Allah replied, ‘By My Glory and Majesty! As long as they seek My forgiveness, I will continue to forgive them.’” (Musnad Ahmad, Sahih)
I have written about this in detail before, many years ago Allah charged us with spreading salam during a time of war on the heart of the Sydney CBD, during my time working their Allah did many things, but towards the end of that time my presence caught the attention of some very evil people who decided to attack me with sihr.
The attack was very powerful and I was not able to do much until I overcame it by understanding its nature, which I did with help. It happened that just before the attack some African jinn took notice of me and began to visit me without my knowing, when the attack occurred which was at the hand of shayateen, one of the African Jinn, at the peak of the attack, began to defend me and heal me from what they where doing.
She told me her story and after this was over I understood what Allah had arranged, these people were Satanists, their “anthem” for many years was the exorcist movies, the Jinn Allah sent to me came from the very African tribe responsible for much of the sihr in those movies, so in reality Allah used the very thing they took pride in against them.
Over the years I would sometimes see this Jinn and talk to her, she witnessed many things around me from Allah and the Mala’ikah and understood right from wrong as a result, so I spoke to her about the akhirah and made dua for her that Allah accept her and her people.
Years passed and Allah could see she was trying but for jinn it is extremely more difficult for them to move passed how they raised, some if they tried it would break them entirely and they would not recover, but this Jinn had done an act of good so powerful with Allah it overcame any sins future or past that may show up on the scales.
So, I made dua for her to Allah regarding this, In the end I was stronger than their attack but what she did was equivalent to saving my life, Allah answered her and that is when I saw Rasul Allah (saws) say to her go do as you wish you will always find forgiveness from Allah.
Abu Huraira (ra) said that from among the things He (saws) reported from his Lord (mighty and sublime be He), is that he said: “A servant [of Allah’s] committed a sin and said: ‘O Allah, forgive me my sin.’ And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: ‘My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them.’ Then he sinned again and said: ‘O Lord, forgive me my sin.’ And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: ‘My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them.’ Then he sinned again and said: ‘O Lord, forgive me my sin.’ And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: ‘My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins. Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you.'” (Muslim, al-Bukhari).
This is what that forgiveness looks like and this is what earns it, if you can do a single act that is extremely good the forgiveness you will earn from it will outweigh the sins of your entire life.
