exchanging sins into virtues
What a great blessing it is from Him and what a reward it is from His honour. It makes you ponder upon His name “Al Kareem” (The Kind), His Highness. His kindness has risen. He has complete kindness. Allah Almighty said:
﴿ إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّـهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ﴾


“Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will ******* their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful” [Al Furqan: 70]


In Sahih Muslim there is the Hadith of Abu Thar (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I know the last of the inhabitants of Fire to be taken out therefrom, and the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it. A man will come out of the Fire crawling. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted will say to him: Go and enter Paradise. So he would come to it and it would appear to him as if it were full. He would go back and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, would say to him: Go and enter Paradise. He would come and perceive as if it were full. He would return and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah would say to him: Go and enter Paradise, for there is for you the like of the world and ten times like it, or for you is ten times the like of this world. He (the narrator) said. He (that man) would say: Art Thou making a fun of me? or Art Thou laughing at me. though Thou art the King? He (the narrator) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were visible.”[1]
