Be like chivalrous people!

Have you heard they say that a certain ruffian, Teyyeb for example, repented in a moment and became one of the good people? I studied these kinds of people, who were very bad and then suddenly became good. They have a common point. A person drinks alcohol, is a ruffian and does all kinds of bad things. He repents in a moment, and his repentance is accepted. Why?

Everyone has experienced something in his or her life. They had power over someone, but they didn’t use their power and didn’t harm the person. They said, “Go kiddo! I won’t harm you.” They are chivalrous. Such a person is not afraid of anyone. He’s chivalrous and sometimes has forgiven big things.

Since he himself is chivalrous, he thinks, “God is chivalrous too. He is powerful, but I asked Him not to beat me and He won’t. He said He’ll forgive; so He has!” He says this so firmly and gets up! God says, “I’m with the good thoughts of My servant.” He says, “God! Forgive me. You can beat me. But don’t.” Then he says, “God has forgiven me.” “How do you know?! I doubt whether God has forgiven me. I torture myself when worshiping!” He replies, “Don’t torture yourself. God is not worse than I am. Me, a chivalrous-ruffian, when I say I won’t beat someone, I won’t! He has said He won’t beat us. So He won’t!”

I’m afraid when you leave here, you won’t count on God acting chivalrously. When you want to leave here, don’t doubt if God has forgiven you. Say, “God has forgiven me! He told me to come on the 23rd of the month of Ramadan, and I came! What did I have to do?! He has forgiven me! I came! What did I have to do?! God says, ‘I’ll convert your sins into rewards.’ (Qur’an 25:70) So, I’m one of the ‘Friends of God’ now!” Then, if I ask, “So why are you still crying?” say, “Because I’m indebted to Him till the end of my life.” Say, “God has forgiven me!” God says, “I’m with the good thoughts of My servant.” Don’t doubt if God has forgiven you, or not.
