A man once went to Rabiah bint Ismail Al-Adawiyyah, who was known by the titles, ‘Mother of Goodness,’ and ‘The famous worshiper.’
He said, “Indeed, I have perpetrated a great number of sins. If I repent, do you think that Allah will accpet my repentance?”
She said, “Woe unto you! Do you not see that He invites those who turn away from Him; then why wouldnt He accept the repentance of those who turn towards Him?”
