We shouldn’t hurry up but just pray and wait, let’s Just have patience and wait and we will finally get results as God hears our prayers and he will never let us down and if we don’t get the answer then it might also be good for us as Allah knows best why he didn’t provide what we wish or perhaps we will get in the hear after as the Kingdom of Allah (God) is Vast. Forgiveness means asking Allah (God) to forgive from our past and present sins and this prayer will help us to abstain on committing further sins.
“The Blessed Sustenance” is the one which has no issues. As not all income is good, some can create happiness and some can cause sadness.

6-Physiological Diseases
The Ayat from the Quran concerning The Prayer of Prophet Ayub (Job) is using very powerful words and we can use the same words when we are inflicted by diseases. We have to go to the doctor and follow his advice and at the same time mention and repeat in our hearts the Prayer of Ayub (Job) here below. I mean the best is to apply both therapies; The Conventional and Prophetic Therapy. Conventional Therapy is a must and at the same time we shouldn’t forget to ask our creator for help.
Chapter (21) Al-Anbiyāa (The Prophets) Ayat Number 83
۞ وَأَيُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ ۥۤ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّٲحِمِينَ (٨٣)
English Translation
And [mention] Ayub (Job) , when he called to his Lord, “Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
Self Therapy
We have to repeat the prayer of Ayub (Job) inside our hearts several times when we are sick as well as when we are healthy when we seek protection against any other harmful germs such as Corona as the saying “Protection is better than Cure” etc. The Prayer can be in English as here:
“Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
or any other language of your choice.
7-Sins

With Allah’s Mercy minor sins can be forgiven if we avoid major sins
Allah Says:
– If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise]. Quran Surah 4 Ayat Number 31
-Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him. Quran Surah 53 Ayat Number 32
Hadith By Prophet Mohamed Says:
-Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The five prayers, Friday to Friday, and Ramadan to Ramadan will expiate the sins committed between them, as long as major sins are avoided.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim-Grade: Sahih(authentic) according to Muslim
We must try to avoid every kind (major or minor) of sin, because it has not only consequences of severe punishment from Allah, but it deprives you of so many blessings of Allah in this world too. For example:
1. Being deprived of knowledge, for knowledge is light that Allah causes to reach the heart, and sin extinguishes that light.
2. Being deprived of provision as recorded in a Hadith.
3. A sense of alienation comes between a person and his Lord and between him and other people.
4. Things becomes difficult for him, so that he does not turn his attention towards any matter but he finds the way blocked or he finds it difficult. By the same token, for the one who fears Allah and avoid sins, things are made easy for him.
5. The sinner will find darkness in his heart, which he will feel just he feels the darkness of night. The stronger the darkness grows, the greater becomes his confusion, until he falls into innovation, misguidance and other things that lead to doom, without even realizing.
6. Deprivation of worship and obedience to Allah.
7. Sin breeds sin until it dominates a person and he cannot escape from it.
8. Sin weakens a person’s willpower. It gradually strengthens his will to commit sin and weakens his will to repent until there is no will in his heart to repent at all.
9. Sin becomes his habit, and he will not be bothered if people see him committing the sin or talk about him. In fact he will proud of his sins and boast with people about his bad acts.
10. When there are many sins they leave a mark on the heart of the person who commits them, so he becomes one of the negligent.
Quran says in Surah 83 Ayat Number 14 “Nay! but on their hearts is the Raan (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they use to earn [meaning sin after sin]”. After Raan, Allah seals his heart completely for anything good in future.
What is the remedy for people who committed both major and minor sins?
Allah is so merciful that He gives every chance to His servants to do sincere repentance so He can forgive them. Allah can even forgive the biggest crime “Shirk” (Associating partners with Him), if someone do sincere repentance before his death.
8-Repentance
Repentance (Tawbah) in Islam:
Tawbah (Repentance) is an obligation on every Muslim (No human being except Prophets are free of sins).
Allah forgives sins whether serious(grave) or numerous with sincere repentance.
Only with Allah’s mercy will anyone enter paradise (Even our beloved Prophet (saw).
Forgiveness is not automatic, must be sought sincerely and with consciousness.
The following verses will give us some perspective about repentance (Tawbah)
• “Say: O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Do not despair from the mercy of Allah. Verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, he is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quran Surah 39 Ayat Number 53)
• “Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.” ”. [Baqara 2:222]
• “O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance”[Surah 66 Ayat 8]
• “And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed”[Surah 24 Ayat 31]
• “So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” [Surah 5 Ayat 74]
• “But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.” [Surah 20 Ayat 82]
• “And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful. ” [Surah 4 Ayat 110]
• “And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do. ’ [Surah 42 Ayat 25]
• “Do they not know that it is Allah who accepts repentance from His servants and receives charities and that it is Allah who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful”? [Surah 9 Ayat 104]
And Prophet Mohamed said:
1) Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent.”
Source: Sunan Al-Tirmidhiy
2) Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) having said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them. (Sahih Muslim)
Condition for Repentance (Tawbah)
There are four conditions for Tawbah:
1) Recognizing ones mistakes and sins.
2) Feeling ashamed of violating Allah’s trust of complete submission to his commandments.
3) Making a promise never to repeat such behavior
4) If the sin has to do with the rights of another person, that right must be restored. For example, if violating rights involves money or property, etc., it must be returned to him/her; if it had to do with slandering etc then forgiveness must be asked and so on.
If one of these conditions is missing, then according to many scholars repentance is not sincere.
Some practical steps to take when we commit sin.
1) Meet the 4 conditions mentioned above.
2) Don’t worry about whisper from the devil that our repentance is not accepted by Allah.
3) Follow up repentance with good deeds. Like giving charity, helping someone, focus on reading Quran-anything good to please Allah.
4) Pray the repentance prayer. If following up a bad deed with a good one can change our sins into good deeds, what deed is better than prayer?
Dua (Supplication) for Repentance
Translation:
“O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no God except You. You created me and I am your slave. To the best of my ability, I will abide by my covenant and pledge to you. I seek
Your protection from the evil of my own creation. I acknowledge Your favours to me and I admit my sins. So please forgive me for no one can forgive sins except you”
This supplication is called as Master of Repentance. (Reference: Hadith Saheh Al Bukhari)
Frequently pray this Prayer for forgiveness.
May Allah give us ability to avoid all sins (major or minor) and ask for true forgiveness with sincere repentance.
The list of major and minor sins in this article is only for informational and guidance purposes. Reader should not take this as religious edict (Religious ruling or fatwa).
To conclude, I would like to quote from a great Muslim scholar named Hasan Basari. Once he was asked what is the secret of his piety (Righteousness). He replied
“Once I understood the following four things, my piety is increased”
1. Once I realized that no one can take away or increase my sustenance as prescribed by Allah for me, and then my heart became content.
2. When I realized that nobody can pray or do good deeds on my behalf, then I started doing it myself.
3. When I realized that Allah is present everywhere and I cannot hide my sins with Him, then I felt ashamed in doing sins.
4. When I realized that death is waiting for me, then I started preparing myself to meet my creator Allah.
If we ponder on these items then we realize that the number one reason people commit sins is because of money and if we realize that our sustenance is predetermined by Allah, then there is no need to acquire money by illegitimate means and commit sins, secondly if we know that Allah is always there to watch everything we do, then how come we will not be ashamed to commit sins openly or secretly. And lastly if we realize our death can come any moment without a warning and we have to meet our creator and give accountability of our every single deed, then how we will commit any sin?
Just pondering over these things will stop us committing major or minor sins Inshah’ Allah.
Please spread these research papers by sharing them with your friends, relatives through word of mouth, social media (face book, twitter, your own websites if you have one, emails etc.). And earn Sadaqa Jaria (Continuous charity) even if you are gone from this world.
9-Conclusion
The Universe (or Multi Universes) and all within it is created by Allah (God). When we are sick we go to the Doctor asking for help. The Doctor will do his best to help us but don’t forget that he is only a means and the one who cures us is the Creator (Allah). When we pray and ask his help all will work well except when Allah(God) decides the opposite for the reason we don’t know because he is the only one who knows the secrets behind the reasons. The Prayer of Prophet Noah is about “blessed sustenance” which we all require in our lives. And as Noah advised his people to ask for forgiveness we should follow his advice. Quran is not a passive book, it is for all times and the stories in it are also active. When we apply them in our daily issues we get results. The Prayer of Prophet Ayyub (Job) is concerning Physical diseases, few words but very powerful. Allah also gives us one of the best medicines which can help us cure depression and stress and that is by remembering his name. By just remembering one of his great names and glorify him we will be able to get rid of this psychological disease which affects many of us in this world. I also ask Allah to accept this humble service for the benefit of humanity.
