Pearl of Wisdom
'Allah the Glorified has made asking for forgiveness a means for increasing the sustenance of the people and His mercy upon them and He the Glorified has said: ask for forgiveness from your Lord, verily He is all forgiving. Therefore, the mercy of Allah be upon he who repents and asks for abandoning his sin and does good deeds before the arrival of his death.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Sermon 143
