God created us (human being) of the best stature. God has perfected our soul and inspired it with conscience of what is wrong for it and what is right for it. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. Then, we decide our state whether to believe or doubt, whether we want to be higher than angel or lower then cattle. And we are not forsaken without guide. Allah wronged us not, but we did wrong ourselves.
Allah has raised in every nation a messenger proclaiming: Serve Allah and shun false humanity-created God(s) and Prophet Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets and he was sent to be a bringer of good tidings and a informer unto all mankind.
However, with all these so-called gifts and warnings, sometimes we still slip from the right pathway and follow iblis will. For that, God give us a chance to repent (taubat) and He is The Merciful One.
Taubat is not just asking forgiveness by tongue without following by heart. Has similarity with Iman (faith), taubat is felt by heart, expressed by tongue (asking forgiveness from God and from people whom we have wronged), and practiced by deed.
Allah's forgiveness is not a reason that justifies us when we want to do sin. Past is something that we can’t change and future is the time we have never know what it is gonna be. What we have is this moment (now), the time when we can choose what we want to do.
Someone, who does sin with knowledge that God is Merciful and think that he can postpone his repentance later, he is the one who forget that he never knows the future and he never knows when Death Angel (izrail) will come to end his life on behalf of Allah’s will.
Let’s us go back to Him, lower ourselves in front of Him, asking for His Mercy. Lets accept Allah's invitation to repentance before it becomes too late for us.
