Does Allah accept the repentance of one who commits many repeated sins, such as masturbation, abandoning prayer, and watching obscene films, and who fears hypocrisy and pleasing people at the expense of fearing Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The questioner must return to Allah by diligently observing His commands, such as prayer, which deters from indecency and evil, and by avoiding what incites forbidden acts, like the aforementioned films. Death comes suddenly, and life passes quickly, so one must utilize it in obedience to Allah. Furthermore, among the things that help in overcoming these afflictions are keeping company with the righteous, attending circles of knowledge, and following religious programs.
