The Ruling on Repentance from Concealed Sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questions that have reached us are very numerous, but we will present to the Honorable Shaykh whatever is feasible, and it is necessary to discuss them. The questioner says, and many of the brothers have estimated the questions in their saying, "We love you in play." The questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we love you for the sake of Allah. Between me and Allah the Exalted and Majestic are matters that He has still been concealing from me in this world, and I want to be freed from them, but I am struggling against my self and I am still doing so. How is the way out from these sins that no one knows about except Allah? Please do not ignore this message, and may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
First, we say: May Allah love you as you have loved us in Him. Second, we are all sinners. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So you should repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. Allah the Exalted said: [Taha 20:82] So Allah has opened the door of repentance. Repent to Allah with a sincere repentance and be glad of good, for Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents, even if it is a disbeliever or one who associates partners with Allah; if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. He forgives the believing sinner. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: [Al-Anfal 8:38] He is the One who pardons. And He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: [Hud 11:90]

You are all sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent.
كلكم خطاء خير الخطائين التوابونBut 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 اهْتَدَىٰSay to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَنتَهُوا يُغْفَرْ لَهُم مَّا قَدْAnd ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Merciful and Affectionate."
وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ
