We advise you to increase good deeds through which Allah will erase the negligence, carelessness, and abandonment of prayer you have committed. This is by performing abundant supererogatory prayers, seeking forgiveness, and sincere repentance. Continue your studies at your college as long as there is no forbidden act therein. Pay off the loans, and there is no sin upon you if you are required to pay interest; the sin is upon them. Your work is permissible if it is lawful, involves no injustice, and no embezzlement.
