Q:is there a hope for a person who wasted their Ramadan to return and do good for the last ten days of Ramadan? Can this person’s life be changed in just short time?

A:

In Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Number 676:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, “Amongst the men of Bani Israel there was a man who had murdered ninety-nine persons. Then he set out asking (whether his repentance could be accepted or not). He came upon a monk and asked him if his repentance could be accepted. The monk replied in the negative and so the man killed him. He kept on asking till a man advised to go to such and such village. (So he left for it) but death overtook him on the way. While dying, he turned his chest towards that village (where he had hoped his repentance would be accepted), and so the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment quarrelled amongst themselves regarding him. Allah ordered the village (towards which he was going) to come closer to him, and ordered the village (whence he had come), to go far away, and then He ordered the angels to measure the distances between his body and the two villages. So he was found to be one span closer to the village (he was going to). So he was forgiven.”

The above story is a clear indication that just a mere sincere gesture is not turned down by our beloved Allah! Don’t wait shed a tear and change your life for Allah loves you for your concern!

I pray to Allah to forgive you guide you and his love be your companion from here and out. Ameen
