Praying Two Rak'ahs Upon Repentance and the Signs of Repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I committed a sin some time ago, and immediately after that sin I feared Allah, repented, and prayed two rak'ahs for Allah, with the intention of repentance. He asks: Are there signs of repentance?
Answer:
Yes. Prayer upon repentance is prescribed. You pray two rak'ahs, then repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness; this is required. If you repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness without prayer, there is no harm. The important thing is that you repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. As for acceptance, that is with Allah, Mighty and Majestic. He may hasten for you what you asked for, or He may delay it for a wisdom that is in your interest, or He may avert from you an evil greater than what you asked for. So supplication is not lost with Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
