We believe that a true and comprehensive
understanding of Islam would not be possible without careful recognition of the
Prophetic Tradition and the Prophet's Household. And Allah is the Source of Strength.
Keep Sins In
" To put things in perspective, our saliva is our spit. We swallow our spit hundred times a day, intake it with all of our food and drinks. However once we spit it out, the idea of taking it back in or swallowing it disgusts all of us.
Our sins are just like our saliva. It is an integral part of our life and by the will of Allah, we try to hide them inside us. But once we expose our sins boastfully and spit it out, thats where Alllah closes the door of forgiveness.
As long as the sin is between a believer and Allah, it is upto Allah if he forgives or not, for if he forgives, there are no witnesses to that sin. Once the believer exposes his sins to others, going against the Hayaa/Shame a believer must possess, there are now witnesses to that sin and there will be testimonies.
The Prophet (SAW) has said in one of his sayings that All of his Ummah will be excused except for the mujaahireen (those who make their sins known). "
