A man wants to repent from what he has done, so how does he repent?

Abu Malik: I always say that the completion of repentance, if a person wants to repent, requires that he repent from his sin in the very place where he said what he said.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
Abu Malik: As for this mumbled, stammering repentance, this repentance where one wants to say about himself that he has cleared his conscience and then goes on his way, this is a vile repentance, considered more vile than what he said in the presence of the assembly. Therefore, I even wrote an article, I forgot the title of the article, yes, "War Fools and War Riches" "War Riches and War Fools." I said that these people who spoke and supported Iran and stood with it, then bowed their heads and turned their backs, and said that Iran is such and such, and started saying that Iran is not an Islamic state and that we must be wary of it; I said this statement was not made publicly. And if the completion of repentance is that they declare it publicly to everyone, so that people know that what they are saying about this revolution in secret, they should say it openly. So, our friend here and our friend there, this means we hear it, or they said a lot about us, they spoke about us in our absence, whether they spoke about you or about me, this reaches us, but praise be to Allah, and by the grace of Allah the Exalted, we do not give weight to such matters and this speech. We always say, I once wrote an article about you in one of the newspapers and said that the weak mouse cannot harm the lofty mountain; so praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, who made you a lofty mountain...

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. We ask Allah to guide us and guide the Muslims.
Abu Malik: And we ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to prolong your life, extend your lifespan, and benefit the Muslims all with your knowledge. I hear, I mean, one of the brothers told me a few days ago that in the universities of Britain, when the hadith fromThe Shaykh : Nasser comes, they say, "We heard and we obeyed." They say, "We accept the authenticity of this hadith that he authenticates, at the time when the foolish scholars come, excuse me, O Shaykh,Abu Layla : from words that perhaps you do not understand, ... these people come, subhan Allah, these people come to attackThe Shaykh : Nasser. And by Allah, O my Shaykh, I want to say something that perhaps concerns me personally, and I say this to complete or follow up on the hadith or comment I mentioned earlier. I say, I mean, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, I carry in my heart for you a love, respect, and appreciation that only Allah knows.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
Abu Malik: And I do not thank you for this, but I speak of it in the context of speaking about the grace of Allah the Exalted, that He made you hold this great status in my heart. This is something I take pride in first, and I thank Allah for it second. And of course, in this state I am in toward you, I do not like to boast about it before people, but I want to teach people the etiquette with the Shaykhs. Therefore, by Allah, O my Shaykh, I love to kiss your hand sometimes in the presence of people.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
Abu Malik: So that people, or at least our brothers, learn the etiquette from their Shaykhs.

The Shaykh : We know this from you. May Allah reward you with good.
Abu Malik: By Allah, O my Shaykh, and this is a matter for which I thank Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. And another thing, some brothers always mention to me, for example, an issue or something concerning our Shaykh, and I say, I do not like, by Allah, if I knew, may Allah forbid, thatThe Shaykh : he made a mistake, I do not like to oppose him in his mistake, because his mistakeThe Shaykh : might turn out after a time to be correct, and I was the one who was wrong. Therefore, it is also part of the etiquette that I remain silent beforeThe Shaykh : so that I may have only that etiquette, which is the etiquette of silence, listening, and paying attention.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
Abu Malik: I want to teach our brothers, may Allah bless them, I want to teach them something of the etiquette with their Shaykhs, but in any case, we have our ijtihad and they also have their conviction. So either they are pleased or they are angry.

The Shaykh : Correct; O my master, the truth is that among the things that fall under the topic of upbringing is that some gatherings, I do not say like this gathering...
