Closing Remarks
Finally, I acknowledge that all good that comes from these writings is from Allah alone, while any mistakes or shortcomings are from my own limitations. As our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us about the importance of seeking forgiveness, I humbly ask:
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
“Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.“
Quran 2:286 (Surah Al Baqarah)
If you find any errors in my writings or interpretations, please know that they are entirely my own, and I seek Allah’s forgiveness for them. I welcome corrections and feedback from those more knowledgeable, for indeed, the pursuit of knowledge is a continuous journey of learning and improvement.
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
I seek forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance.
May Allah accept this humble effort, forgive our shortcomings, and guide us all to what pleases Him.
Ameen.
