Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a young man who has repented to Allah, and I am now twenty-two years old. About two years ago, I committed a sin, and I have greatly regretted what I did. I am asking now what I should do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must repent, repent to Allah and hasten to do so, and not return to sins and disobedience. Rather, you must be steadfast in obedience, performing the obligatory and recommended acts of worship, and leaving the forbidden and disliked things. You must maintain obedience to Allah and stay away from disobedience to Allah, while asking Allah the Exalted to keep you firm upon the religion, and to help you with obedience and steadfastness. By doing so, your affairs will be rectified, if Allah wills.
