Question:
And she says, Shaykh, that she is ashamed to say, "O Lord, accept my prayer from me."
Answer:
This is from Shaytan. A person should not be ashamed to call upon Allah, seek His forgiveness, and repent to Him, nor should he despair. This is a quality of the hearts, by the mercy of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). And Allah (Exalted and Majestic) says:[Al-Hijr 15:56] And He, the Blessed and Exalted, says: [Az-Zumar 39:53] So, however much a person sins, he repents to Allah, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. Yes.
And she says, Shaykh, that she is ashamed to say, "O Lord, accept my prayer from me."
Answer:
This is from Shaytan. A person should not be ashamed to call upon Allah, seek His forgiveness, and repent to Him, nor should he despair. This is a quality of the hearts, by the mercy of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). And Allah (Exalted and Majestic) says:
And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلَّا الضَّالُّونَSay, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah.
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ
