Mercy of Allah is unlimited. He has given us the chance to repent and return to His grace. But as we are irresponsible to the call of repentance, we fail to avail Allah's mercy and forgiveness.

The holy Quran says : "Say O my servants, who have transgressed against their souls ! Despair not of the mercy of Allah ; for Allah forgives all sins ; for He is oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (39:53)

Human beings are likely to commit error and sin. They need opportunity to repent and reform. The month of Ramzan brings to them chance to rectify and purify themselves. Self-criticism, sincere repentance and complete surrender to the Will of Allah would surely change their position in the Supreme Judgement of Allah.

So, they should realise their mistakes commited before and seek Allah's mercy and forgiveness.

Rasulullah (SM) described the fate of people, who don't pay heed to the Divine call and don't change their way of life :

"Indeed, miserable is the one who is deprived of Allah's forgiveness during this great month." (Sermon of Rasulullah SM).
