Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another man says: Allah knows that I love you for the sake of Allah, and I hope that you, Honorable Shaykh, will raise your hands in supplication to Allah and pray for my guidance. I am a young man who has been lazy about the five daily prayers and have committed sins, even though I used to be among the righteous youth. So pray to Allah from the bottom of your heart. May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
May Allah love you, for He loves those who praise Him. We ask Allah for guidance and success for us and for you, and for the rectification of intention and deeds. We advise you to fear Allah and to be wary of obeying Satan. We advise you to repent for what has occurred on your part. Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. Allah the Exalted says:[Taha 20:82] We ask Allah for rectification, success, and guidance for us and for you, and for steadfastness upon the truth.

وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَىٰ
