Some of you might have read this as I wrote it a while ago, so here's a reminder for you and a helping of food for thought for the new readers.
Have you ever woken up one morning completely content with who you are.Pleased with your present behaviour ,at ease that your past is where it is,and positive that your future has only the best in store for you.Whilst being hopeful is most often a good thng,too much of it can be dangerous. Especially when that hope makes us complacent.The reality is that we need the element of regret 2 keep us grounded. Here's my take on why.
Regret by definition refers to the act of repentence or to feel remorseful.So,if we happen to remove that from our lives we would be a band of unfeeling barbarians, unconcernd with our mistakes or with change. In essence,if we do not regret,we do not repent. And if we do not repent, I shudder to think of our final abode..
In keeping this brief ,let us all resolve today to ammend our ways and do good deeds seeking the pleasure of Allah.In that way we need not spend all of our time regretting.Rather,let us maintain that balance between hope and fear and InshaAllah on the Day of Judgement we wont be swimming in a sea of regret!!
Until you read again
Ma'assalaam
