A Sinner in Jannah: Stories of Repentance, Hope and Mercy

Every son of Adam sins, and the best of the sinners are the repentant. (Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi 2499). In A Sinner in Jannah, readers will discover the ultimate guide to repentance and Allah’s mercy. With a focus on the inevitable human nature of sinning, Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim provides practical advice on how to identify and repent from different levels and categories of sins—major and minor. Through self-reflection, self-critique and self-control, readers will learn how to avoid committing sins and turn to Allah’s love and mercy when they fall short. With a deep understanding of the significance of Allah’s term ar-Rahman, readers will be inspired to seek His guidance and forgiveness every day.

This book is an adaptation from a lecture by Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim with the same title and it is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their relationship with Allah and their understanding of Islam. Through prayer and duʿaʾ, readers will discover the Sirat-al-Mustaqim—the straight path to success, peace, and faith. A Sinner in Jannah is a powerful reminder that we are all human, but through repentance and belief in Allah’s mercy, we can strive towards our ultimate goal—Jannah.
