I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim
I learned that knowledge is light and the light of Allah is not bestowed upon someone in a state of sin.
However, regardless of how great and numerous the sins of a person may be, the pardon and forgiveness of Allah is much greater. When someone embraces Islam sincerely, then Allah shall forgive all their past sins, and after that starts the settlement of accounts: the reward of their good deeds will be ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed, and an evil deed will be recorded as it is unless Allah forgives it.
When it comes to doing good, some of us are hesitant. ‘I am such a sinner!’ We may think, ‘Will Allah really appreciate the pathetic deeds that I do when I commit such horribly bad deeds?’ Allah says, [Quran 35:34]
When I am obsessed with something that’s forbidden, it colonizes me. Am I going to liberate myself?

Surely our Lord is indeed Ever-Forgiving, Appreciative.
This gives us the reassurance that even if we commit sinful deeds, we can return to Allah and He will forgive us, while rewarding us for the good. The body's weakness comes from illnesses, while the heart's weakness comes from sins. And just as the body does not taste the delights of food when it is ill, the heart does not taste the delights of worship when it is sinful.When I am obsessed with something that’s forbidden, it colonizes me. Am I going to liberate myself?
