Hadhrat Abu Muhammad Marozi (rahmatullahi alayh) said:
“Due to five attributes Iblees became accursed and wretched.
(1) He refused to confess his sin
(2) He did not regret his sin
(3) He refrained from self-reprimand
(4) He abstained from repentance
(5) He lost all hope in the mercy of Allah.
In contrast, Hadhrat Aadam (alayhis salaam) became fortunate and elevated because of five attributes:
(1) He acknowledged his error.
(2) He expressed profound regret
(3) He upbraided himself
(4) He immediately repented
(5) He did not despair of the mercy of Allah Ta’ala.”
The Mu’min knows which of these two ways to adopt. His way is the way of Hadhrat Aadam (alayhis salaam). Hadhrat Haatim Asamm (rahmatullahi alayh) said:
“When you have committed a sin, hasten to repent and refrain from presenting excuses (to justify the sin). Justification (of the sin) is worse than the actual sin which was committed.”
