Building a Relationship with Allah The Almightyhadith
“I treat My servant in accordance with his understanding of Me. I am with him whenever he remembers Me.’ Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a servant of His than one of you would be if he were to lose his camel in a barren desert and then find it unexpectedly. Allah says: ‘Whoever moves towards Me by a span of an open hand, I move towards him by a length of an arm and whoever moves towards Me by an arm’s length, I move towards him by the length of 2 arms. And when he walks towards me, I go towards him hurriedly.” (muslim)
The Holy Quran
“Allah burdens not any soul beyond its capacity. It shall have the reward it earns and it shall get the punishment it incurs”. Our Lord do not punish us, if we forget or fall into error, and our Lord, lay not on us a responsibility as Thou didst lay upon those before us. Our Lord, burden us not with what we have not the strength to bear, and efface our sins and grant us forgiveness and have mercy on us; Thou art our Master; so help us against the disbelieving people”.
(Chapter 2: Verse 287)
