Treatment of falling into sin and repenting from it

The questioner:
And among the problems is that I am a young man who has fallen into this problem, and I think you will solve it for me. I am a student of knowledge, and I say that I am always hungry, but I do not know, for I do so as well.

The Shaykh:
It encompasses.

The questioner:
And I affirm in our gathering, and I affirm in the oaths sworn to me, and I affirm in knowledge, and I affirm in our gathering. If they accept, but I accept as well, so I want them to accept after that as well.

The Shaykh:
Because Satan, and Satan overpowers you regarding your self, and the air as well, and the self that commands evil, your enemies overpower you. So it is obligatory upon you to repent to Allah, seek refuge from Satan, and stay away from the places of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Stay away from the places of fitnah and the causes of fitnah, because whoever engages with the causes of fitnah is likely to fall into sin. Cut off the causes that lead you to these sins, along with asking Allah the Exalted to protect you and to help you. Allah is near and responsive. Keep the company of the people of good, sit with the people of good, maintain the prayer. Allah the Exalted said: . Maintain the prayer, maintain the company of the people of good and the gatherings of knowledge, maintain the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, and seeking refuge from Satan. Stay away from the companions of evil and the sitters of wrongdoing. And if you are engaging with forbidden causes, leave them. And we ask Allah for help. Yes.
