Allah (SWT) Conceals our Sins through his Mercy

A pious person narrates, I saw a young man frequently reciting the words, 

'Oh Eternal being, Your Kindness is so Eternal!'

One day I asked him, "Why do you recite these words so often?"

He answered, "I do because of a strange incident that changed my life. When I was younger I would attend weddings and functions frequented by females. I would dress as a women and draw a veil over my face so that they would not identify my gender. In this way I would join in their functions and sit amongst them. One day there was a wedding function in the house of the ruler. I attended as usual. Incidentally a piece of jewellery which was valuable was stolen and the ruler instructed all the women be searched.

Accordingly, they were instructed to remove their veils. When this happened I began to recite these words, "O Eternal Being, Your Kindness is also Eternal.' I also took a pledge to ALLAH that if HE concealed my identity, I would never attend female functions again. As they were about to search me, it was announced that the remaining women should be left alone as the jewellery had been recovered.

That day, I repented to ALLAH and promised to never revert to such a sin again."

Below is a video clip of Shaykh Abdulnasir Jangda narrating a story of how Allah (SWT) concealed one of the sins of a companions of Musa (AS)

 

"When Allah conceals the Sins of a person, what does he do? He calls people or in our case posts a status, picture or tweet and says, "I did such and such last night" When the Almighty Lord has concealed him, the next morning he uncovers what Allah has concealed for him."
