Advice for the young man who fears falling back into sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a righteous young man, praise be to Allah, and I fear falling back into sin, so I ask you to give me some advice.
The Shaykh:
Yes, we all fear it, and no one is safe from it. We all fear this. If a person fears falling back into sin or going astray, that is a sign of his faith and his fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that he does not feel secure for himself and does not declare himself righteous.
You must keep the company of the people of knowledge and the people of truth, sit with the scholars, and attend beneficial lessons of knowledge. You must do this by following the sites of knowledge and benefiting from them.
And reading beneficial and useful books, and listening to the beneficial programs on the radio in "Nur 'ala al-Darb" (Light on the Path), and the beneficial programs that come in it, and recitations of the Noble Qur'an. These are among the causes of steadfastness upon the truth and guidance.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

Righteous deeds, and supplication. Yes.
