It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Sa’d ibn Maalik ibn Sinaan al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“There was among the people who came before you a man who killed ninety-nine people. Then he asked about the most knowledgeable person on earth, and was directed to a hermit (monk), so he went to him, told him that he had killed ninety-nine people, and asked if he could be forgiven. The hermit said, ‘No,’ so he killed him, thus completing one hundred. Then he asked about the most knowledgeable person on earth and was directed to a scholar. He told him that he had killed one hundred people, and asked whether he could be forgiven. The scholar said, ‘Yes, what could possibly come between you and repentance? Go to such-and-such a town, for in it there are people who worship Allaah. Go and worship with them, and do not go back to your own town, for it is a bad place.” So the man set off, but when he was halfway there, the angel of death came to him, and the angels of mercy and the angels of wrath began to argue over him. The angels of mercy said: ‘He had repented and was seeking Allaah.’ The angels of wrath said: ‘He never did any good thing.’ An angel in human form came to them, and they asked him to decide the matter. He said: ‘Measure the distance between the two lands (his home town and the town he was headed for), and whichever of the two he is closest to is the one to which he belongs.’ So they measured the distance, and found that he was closer to the town for which he had been headed, so the angels of mercy took him.” (Agreed upon).
According to a version narrated by Muslim (2716): “He was closer to the righteous town by a handspan, so he was counted among its people.”
According to a version narrated by al-Bukhaari (3470): “Allaah commanded (the righteous town) to draw closer and (the evil town) to move away, and he said: “Measure the distance between them,’ and he was found to be closer to (the righteous town) by a handspan, so he was forgiven.”

^that hadith is one of my favourite ahadith....
and the 1st video might seem long but the main lecture is smaller, there is Q&A at the end... so, just start watching...
May Allah accept our repentance... Aameen.
They're BOTH worth watching really, Jazakallah for sharing them :D (All three really :p)

Truely Allah is Ghafoor-ur-Rahim. Will forgive our sins even if they are as much as the foam on the sea. \m/

True indeed, Allah's forgiveness in unimaginable... yet there is a balance as the 1st vid mentioned... one can't just do nothing and bank on it alone.... a believer lives b/w hope and fear... yet above that he loves Allah. :)

The Quran mentions this balance (beautiful aayahs really):

نَبِّئْ عِبَادِي أَنِّي أَنَا الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
[O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful.

وَأَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الْأَلِيمُ
And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment. (15:49-50)

That's true. We do need to keep in mind that forgiveness is granted to SINCERE repenters ;)

LOL! I love the combo of these Ayahs really :D Beautiful.
