Constant Regret of Your Sins

~ Al-Hujwiri, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"

From:
The Bounty of Allah: Daily Reflections from the Qur'an and Islamic Tradition
Translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed. The Crossroad Publishing Company, New York

True repentance entails constant regret of your sins. Without remorse, good deeds, be they abounding, could be eclipsed by pride that follows piety. Remorse for a sin is superior to good works. Never forget your transgressions to save yourself from conceit.
