Question:
Please advise me. I am a young man, twenty-one years old, and I have a great affliction in my heart that frequently comes to me: my soul commands me to do evil, which I still keep in my heart. Every time I remember it, I seek forgiveness and cry, but unfortunately, it continues. I have not committed it. What do you advise me? For I cannot do without Allah?
Answer:
This is good, if Allah wills, as long as when you remember that thing, it leads you to repentance and seeking forgiveness, you are on the right path, if Allah wills. Stick to this character. Whenever you remember what calls you to the major sin, and you repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness, this is among the blessings of Allah upon you. So remain steadfast on this, repent to Allah constantly, seek Allah’s forgiveness, ask Him for repentance, and ask Him for protection and well-being.
