Turn back to God in sincere repentance

This hadith speaks to the power of repentance and forgiveness. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah, a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, that he said that whoever repents before the sun rises from the west, Allah will forgive them. This means that no matter how bad our sins are or how long we have been away from Allah, if we sincerely repent and turn back to Him then He will forgive us. This is an incredible blessing and mercy from Allah which should motivate us to always strive for righteousness and stay close to Him.

The phrase “before the sun rises from the west” is symbolic in nature as it implies that repentance can be done at any time until death comes upon us; no matter how late it may seem, there is still hope for forgiveness if one turns back to God in sincere repentance.

This hadith also teaches us about patience and perseverance; even when we feel like all hope is lost or our situation seems impossible, we must never give up on ourselves or on seeking forgiveness from God because He loves those who turn back to Him in repentance more than anything else.
