Knowledge of Allah's Pleasure and the Acceptance of Deeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, does Allah the Mighty and Majestic know of my seeking forgiveness and my righteous deeds, and is He pleased with me?
The Shaykh:
Do you know?
The questioner:
Does it mean that my repentance was accepted and I know that my work was accepted in my seeking forgiveness and my righteous deeds?
The Shaykh:
You do not know this, but you should have a good opinion of Allah and hope that Allah has accepted it from you. As for being certain that Allah has accepted it, no, no one can be certain of this. But you should have a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and be sincere in your work for Allah, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. Yes.
