Today's gem and we're beginning the last 10 nights so we need to now choose

aye that are going to be especially useful for us in these 10 nights. The Aya that I chose for you today,

Surahood, verse 114. In Nal Hasanati, you'd have been a say y'at. In the

has an a say yat. In N al-Hasanati Yudhibn as say yat. Good deeds eliminate bad deeds. This

Quranic wisdom and maxim should inspire even the worst sinner among us, even the worst

center amongst us should have that glimmer of hope. No matter what I've done in the past,

Allah's what I've done in the past.

If I present some good deeds, my past evil deeds

can be eliminated.

In the le Hassanati, Yuthibnass say y'at.

Good deeds get rid of bad deeds.

And in fact, there's a very interesting, a little bit humor story

even about why this came down, that once in the time of the prophet of

some there was a companion who had a girlfriend and he shouldn't have had and they

did something they shouldn't have done not to the level of Zena but they did

something they shouldn't have done then to the level of zina but they did something they

shouldn't have done. Then he felt so guilty he repented he cut that relationship

off and he said yeah absolutely I made a mistake and I had a friend and I did

this and that but I didn't get to that level but I did things I shouldn't have done so the prophet

Siram was silent and then they prayed together and then the man came up he wanted to be punished

He thought there was going to be some punishment, but he didn't get to the level of punishment.
