Question:
Ahmad al-Basha says: I have committed many sins and I want to return to Allah the Mighty and Majestic with sincere repentance. What is the description of repentance? Does it have conditions?

Answer:
Yes, hasten to repent to Allah, and Allah accepts repentance,

And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

[Ash-Shuraa 42:25]

, so hasten to repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic from all sins, and Allah turns to those who turn to Him,

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَىٰ

[Taha 20:82]

, so hasten to repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and hope for forgiveness, and do not despair of the mercy of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and do not lose hope in the favor of Allah, for Allah the Exalted and Majestic has commanded you to hasten to repent,

Stretches out His Hand during the night so that the people may repent for the fault committed from dawn till dusk and He stretches out His Hand during the day so that the people may repent for the fault committed from dusk to dawn

يبسط يده بالليل ليتوب مسيء النهار، ويبسط يده بالنهار ليتوب مسيء الليل

Sahih Muslim 2759a, b

, so hasten to repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic before death comes to you while you are upon sins and disobedience, yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
