Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is your opinion, Shaykh, about a person who says, "I am afraid that I will appear to return to what I was like before"?
Answer:
He means he fears that he will not persist in his repentance. He will not persist in his repentance. This is a scheme of Shaytan and the self that commands evil. So he should leave these whispers, repent to Allah, resolve to do so, and seek help from Allah the Exalted. Yes.
