Shaykh Saaleh Fawzaan al-Fawzaan [May Allaah Preserve him]
Member of Committee of Senior Scholars and Permanent
Committee of Research and Fatwaa:
One is heavily encouraged to continue his life upon obeying
Allaah and leaving what is prohibited. Allaah, the Glorified and Exalted, has
given us specified life spans which will not be extended. The point of our life
spans isn’t to live a long life, even if one was to live hundreds of
years. Rather, the point is to see how we spend our lives, did we spend our
lives with what was good or what was wretched?
One should be cautious, the days are numbered and its
hours are pre-decreed. So do not let them escape you in regret, so that they
will be a cause of regret for you on the Day of Judgment.
Therefore, it is upon the Muslim to always protect
himself. If one slips or errs then he
must hasten to make Tawbah:
“And those who,
when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse etc.)
or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their
sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allah - And do not persist in what
(wrong) they have done, while they know.” [aal-‘Imraan
3: 135]
