Remembrance of God to remember God on every occasion.” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 373) According to this tradition, frequent remembrance of God means that every experience and observation should create God-oriented thinking to the point where the whole world of nature will become a reminder of God for a person.

Everything becomes a means of reminding him of God. Sincere Repentance Chapter 66 of the Quran, tells us what sincere repentance (tawbah) is. Verse 8 says: “Believers, turn to God in sincere repentance. Your Lord may well forgive your bad deeds and admit you into gardens watered by running streams, on a Day when God will not abase the Prophet and those who have believed with him. Their light will shine out ahead of them and on their right, and they will say: ‘Lord perfect our light for us, and forgive us; You have power over all things.’” (66:8) Sincere repentance means pure repentance or true repentance. The commentator al-Qurtubi wrote that, scholars have given the word “repentance” twenty three meanings. (Tafsir al-Qurtubi, vol. 18, p. 197) But
