Whispers that undermine faith before repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I am a man to whom Allah has granted repentance from sins, and I maintain the prayer and the seeking of knowledge, but I am plagued by whispers that I may have done something that completely nullifies my faith before my repentance. Does my repentance now erase those sins?
Answer:
If Allah wills. And if you feel the whispers of Satan, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and they will leave you, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
