"Life is a journey.

Every moment something new unfolds, every moment we learn something new. It is a mistake to say 'I wish I had learned this before so that I might have practiced it and become a better Muslim.' This is a trick from Shaytaan. You have learned it at this time because God willed it and so that you can build a new foundation starting now. Do not have regrets. This is an opportunity from God to reform yourself. We should always try to reform ourselves. This is what repentance means. This also relates to the last verse in Surah Al-Asr, which says 'Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.' We are each always learning something new which leads to truth. This is why we are told to advise each other, learn from each other and the patience that is mentioned, is what we need to continue through this journey." - Shaykh Muhammad Emin Er
