Sincere Repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother B. A. from Sfax, Tunisia, asks in his question: What is the way to sincere repentance?
Answer:
The way to that is to feel remorse for the previous disobedience, and to make a sincere resolve not to return to it, along with abandoning it and guarding against it, out of sincerity for Allah, love and magnification of Him, and hope and fear. If the disobedience involves the creation, it is necessary to seek the release of the one who has the right. If that is not possible, he should pray for him and seek forgiveness for him, and mention to those who backbited him about him the good deeds he knows he has done. If it involves wealth, he should return it to him or seek pardon for it; if he pardons him, he is free from it. May Allah grant success.
