Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We will present to you this questioner via the internet. She says: I am a woman who strives to nurse my Lord as much as I am able. I find myself committing a sin, seeking forgiveness for it, and then repeating it, and repeating it. This has caused me distress in my soul and self-loathing. I have supplicated to Allah to have mercy on me by making me abandon sins forever as long as He keeps me alive. I fear, with all fear, that I will die with a bad ending because of the sin. I ask for advice.
Answer:
The advice is to abandon the intrusive thoughts and not open the door to Satan in his whisperings. You should repent, do good deeds, and have good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Abandon the intrusive thoughts, seek refuge in Allah from Satan and his delusions, have good opinion of Allah, and ask Him for a good ending. Ask Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for a good ending. Allah is near and responsive.
