*Not my work, simply sharing something beautiful I came across*
Forgiveness is being shielded from the harmful consequences of wrong actions, and the veiling of them. Seeking forgiveness is mentioned again and again in the Qur'an, and in some places it is a command, as in His saying, Glorious and Exalted is He:
"And seek forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate."
(Qur'an 73:20)
In other places, Allah praises those who seek his forgiveness, as in the ayat:
"And those who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning."
(Qur'an 3:17)
In other places, Allah tells us that he forgives those who ask for His forgiveness, as in ayat:
"And whoever does evil, or wrongs his own soul, but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, will find Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate."
(Qur'an 4:110)
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "When Allah loves a slave, calls out Jibril and says: `I love so-and-so; so love him'. Then Jibril loves him. After that he (Jibril) announces to the inhabitants of heavens that Allah loves so-and-so; so love him; and the inhabitants of the heavens (the angels) also love him and then make people on earth love him".
