Imagine you are a kindergarten teacher. A student comes up and hands you a drawing to be marked.
She has scribbled with crayons and says she made it especially for you. You look at the crumpled paper, and you can see it was made with love.

With which critera would you mark this art work?
1) You would mark the student at your level; an adult with an arts degree.
2) You would mark the student at their level; a wee little kindergartener.
Number two of course! We would not expect her to draw at our level.

Similar is the example of God.
God is Almighty. Many of us look at what He deserves and become despondent of His love. Who am I to yearn for His love? Who am I to stand before Him and see Him in paradise?
Truly, I only deserve his punishment for the wretched sins I have done.

Luckily, God does not judge at His level.
He looks at our broken acts of worship and accepts them if they are sincere. He judges us at our level.
All we are expected to do is try our best. Like that kindergartener, We will earn our examiner's favour.

Additionally, Allah understands what our 'level' is more than anyone else.
He knows we are not like anyone else. He knows our pains, our weaknesses, our genetic makeup, our mental health challenges and our temptations.
This is how he can be so forgiving.

If we sincerely repent, He will forgive us.
If we sincerely act, he will accept it.
If we sincerely build a connection, He will love us.
Be a sincere child and present your best scribbles. Allah is Shakur. He will value it.
