About This Book

Every person falls short, and Islam teaches that the door of repentance stays open. This book collects stories and short reflections on turning back to Allah, showing how people overcame their sins, admitted their mistakes and sought His forgiveness.

The material is arranged in about 65 short sections. Some tell the stories of prophets, Companions and early Muslims, others draw out lessons on sincerity, the harm of persistent sin and the mercy Allah shows to those who repent. The brief chapters make it easy to read a little at a time.
