Are you saying that if someone commits
a huge sin like
and then regrets even
if someone commits a major sin
and then repents,
is that enough? Yes. That is the promise
of Allah
Right?
It is he who accepts the repentance of
his servants.
So if one has
sincere
repentance,
Sincere repentance and the scholars mean exactly what
they say.
If one leaves the sin, one's not presently
committing the sin right now, one leaves
it, has remorse,
resolves not to return to it as best
they can, that is sincere repentance and your
slate is clear
as long as you are sincere.
And even if you stumble and fall again,
you repeat
the repentance.
But true repentance or successful repentance would entail
committing to
take the means of not falling in the
sin again, to learn a lesson
by blocking the means. What is it that
led me to the sin? Let me leave
that.
Right?
What follow any bad with the requisite good
and it will wipe it out. What is
the requisite good?
Those things that will enable you not to
return to the sin.
If it was bad company that led you
to the sin, seek good company.
If it was
being in particular places, then avoid going there.
Right? That every time you go to the
mall, you end up doing certain haram things,
then don't go to that particular mall
or don't go there alone, for example.
If staying up late at night causes you
to watch or do impermissible things, then don't
stay up late at night, for example.
Those are just some examples.
