Repentance

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

I am a muslim, married woman. I was born in a muslim family. But, I was not aware of islamic rules much. I did so many grave major sins that I feel like I am the worst person in this world. Now, I am trying to gain knowledge about my great religion, to obey it's rulings. But, I don't feel any peace and rest in my heart. Always I feel like how would I know that Allah rabbul alamin has forgiven me? What good deed I can do so piles of my grave sins will be wiped out? How would I get close to my Lord? O Allah, show me your mercy on me.  I can't sleep well, I can't take rest, I don't get any joy from anything. Always I feel like I can die anythime and He will ask me questions, what I will reply HIM, I don't have anything to tell HIm. Always I am crying inside. Oh, Allah tell me how would I get free of all my sins.   I am writing you as I have read your book “I want to repent, but.” several times. I get a little calm when I read Allah says, “Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah…” [al-Zumar 39:53] .

That is the only hope in my life.  I believe you are an islamic scholar. Do you believe Allah will forgive me who is such a sinner who did all kind of sin in life. I have offered salat of repentence and I am trying to change my lifestyle in every respect only to make my Lord satisfy to me. I am commited that I will follow islamic rules in rest of my life .

My wife was working as a sales clerk in a store selling women’s clothes that are haraam according to sharee’ah. Praise be to Allaah, she has now left this job. Naturally she was given a lump sum commensurate with the time she was working at that job. We had agreed – with the consent and approval of my wife – that we would use this money to cover the Hajj expenses for my father and mother. Although my father has done Hajj before, my mother has not, but they are old now. is that permissible, or is it better for my wife and I to do Hajj? Please note that my wife and I want to do Hajj next year in sha Allah, and that we do not have any savings apart from this money. is it permissible for us to use this money for Hajj in either case? I hope you can advise us, may Allaah reward you with all good.

Assalomu Aleykum My Grandparents are Muslim people. My Parents consider themselves also as Muslims, but they pray and fast time-to-time.

They do not follow all roles in Islam. As for me I just open Islam for myself. At the mean-time I am learning praying and other questions about Islam with my Grandmother. This was the first I when I was fasting. I understand that I did a lot of things wrong in the past. Will I be ever forgiven for the sins I made in the past?

A person was ignorant, then Allaah blessed him with Islam. Before that, he used to commit some sins. He says, “I heard a hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] , ‘Whoever has wronged his brother with regard to his honour or anything else, let him ask him for forgiveness today before there is no dinar and no dirham.’ What do you advise me to do?”

I was brought up in a good Muslim household in the West. Unfortunately in my teenage years I allowed myself to be led astray by Shaitaan and committed many mortal sins for a number of years, even going out of Islam. I have tried to repent and reform over the last couple of years. I perform all the five pillars, give sadaqa generously, get involved with dawah and try to be helpful to Muslims. I am good to my wife and parents. However my heart is very shaky indeed. Sometimes I am convinced of the truth but usually I am sumum bukmun . I find that my heart is very arrogant, evil and hates the Truth. I have tried hard to repress these negative feelings but cannot fully overcome them. I want to become a Muslim again but am at the point of resigning myself to a life of Taaghoot. I have read countless books and been to many lectures but I have made no progress. I want to succeed in this life and be saved from the Fire. What can I do? Do I need to do the Shahada again? Please help me.
