The Meaning of Sincere Repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This questioner asks: What is the meaning of the repentance that is mentioned?

Answer:
Sincere, pure repentance. Sincere repentance is pure repentance
O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا
[At-Tahrim 66:8]
meaning it is pure, not repentance with the tongue only, or seeking forgiveness with the tongue only, while persisting in sins and disobedience. That does not benefit. Sincere repentance is repentance with the heart, repentance with action, and repentance with the tongue. These things are necessary. Yes.
