Types of hope:

There are three types of hope: two which are praiseworthy and one which stems from arrogance and is thus dispraised:1-Hope held by he who obediently follows Allah&"s commands, acting according to the way of life Allah set down for us, and hoping to gain His rewards.2-Hope held by he who has committed sins and then repents, hoping that Allah will forgive his sins, erase them, overlook them and not expose them.3-Hope held by he who is neglectful, and indulges in sins and wrongdoings, but still hopes for Allah&"s forgiveness without doing anything to attain that forgiveness!! This is arrogance, wishful thinking and misguided hope which can never be considered as being praiseworthy. The Mu&"meneen have hope in their hearts that is accompanied by action. Allah the Exalted says:
&"Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah - they expect the mercy of Allah. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful&"
(Al-Baqarah: 281).
