Question:
The questioner says: I am a person who commits sins, and when I wanted to repent, I performed 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage). However, Satan constantly reminds me of the sins I used to commit while I am praying. What should I do? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Do not pay attention to these whispers, and do not pay attention to Satan's whispers. Repent to Allah and do not pay attention to Satan's whispers, even if he reminds you of this and that. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) forgives sins. Allah the Exalted said:[Az-Zumar 39:53] Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. So if you repent, Allah will accept your repentance, and do not pay attention to Satan's whispers. Yes.

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ
