Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I was a sorcerer, and I saw in my dream that I was in a pot of boiling water, and someone was saying to me, "Prostrate to Allah," and another person was saying to me, "Prostrate to Allah." A person came and said to him, "Prostrate to Allah." "Prostrate?" "Prostrate." He prostrated in prostration. "Prostrate to Allah." Yes. Yes. And after I woke up, I repented to Allah. Is my repentance accepted?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. This is good; this is a warning from Allah and a cause of good for you. So repent to Allah, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents.[Al-Anfal 8:38] So the door of repentance is open to you through your repentance to Allah, and this vision is a cause of good for you.

Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَنتَهُوا يُغْفَرْ لَهُم مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ
