Question:
Are there means to facilitate sincere repentance? Look at your question.
Answer:
Among the greatest means is the fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and the fear of His punishment, as well as the hope in the mercy of Allah and the hope for forgiveness. Among the means is also remembering the punishment and remembering the effects of sins on nations and individuals; this helps in repentance. Among the means of repentance is also choosing righteous companions and staying away from bad companions, for this helps one in repentance, because a righteous companion influences his companion with righteousness, and a bad companion influences his companion with evil. So among the greatest means of repentance is keeping the company of the good and staying away from the wicked. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
