Praise be to Allah for your guidance and your distancing yourself from reading abominable things. Avoid everything that might lead you back to these迷误 (deviations), for hearts are weak and doubts are snatchers. Since you have repented and regretted what has passed, nothing more is required of you. Adhere firmly to the Sharia of Allah, safeguard the obligatory prayers, increase in supererogatory acts, remembrance [of Allah], and supplication, and strive diligently in seeking Islamic knowledge. Praise Allah for guidance and remove the stress, for you have turned to a Lord Who is Merciful and Generous.
