Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Shaykh, what are the signs of the acceptance of repentance?

The Shaykh : The signs of the acceptance of repentance are that a person finds comfort and tranquility, a dislike for the sin, and a turning toward Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed.

⁽¹⁶⁾ Those who say, "Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire," ⁽¹⁷⁾ The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allah], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn. ⁽¹⁸⁾ Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

الذين يقولون ربنا إننا آمنا فاغفر لنا ذنوبنا وقنا عذاب النار، الصابرين والصادقين والقانتين والمنفقين والمستغفرين بالأسحار، شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملائكة وأولوا العلم قائما بالقسط لا إله إلا هو العزيز الحكيم

[Ali 'Imran 3:16-18]
