Start your deeds anew after making a mistake

This hadith speaks to the importance of starting anew and being forgiven for our past mistakes. It is narrated by Dawud bin 'Ajlan who was performing tawaf with Abu 'Iqal in the rain when they came behind the maqam. Anas bin Malik then told them that this was what Prophet Muhammad said when they performed tawaf with him in the rain - that they should start their deeds anew as they have been forgiven. This hadith teaches us that we should not be discouraged by our past mistakes but rather take it as an opportunity to start fresh and be forgiven by Allah. We must also remember that Allah is always willing to forgive us if we sincerely repent for our sins and strive to do better in future.
