Is remorse and the resolve not to return to sins thought to be disbelief sufficient for returning to Islam? And what about the inability to perform abundant istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and weeping, coupled with immersion in a fantasy world and committing major sins? And can abandoning Amr bil Ma'ruf (enjoining good) and Nahi anil Munkar (forbidding evil) lead to disbelief? And is it obligatory to read all religious topics, including matters of creed, despite their difficulty?

It is advisable to distance oneself from the whispers of Satan and to engage in learning and righteous deeds. For whoever enters Islam with certainty does not depart from it except with certainty. If there are ninety-nine reasons to declare a Muslim an infidel and one reason to keep him within Islam, then one should act upon that one reason, because it is better for the Imam to err in forgiveness than to err in punishment.

It is prescribed for the servant to repent and seek forgiveness for any potential polytheism by saying: "O Allah, we seek refuge in You from knowingly associating anything with You, and we seek Your forgiveness for what we do not know." The conditions for repentance are not weeping, but rather sufficient is remorse and the resolve not to return to the sin.

To remedy one's situation and that of one's family, family sessions should be held to study the texts of the two revelations (Qur'an and Sunnah), and to engage in matters of spiritual refinement (raqa'iq), remembrance of Allah (dhikr), and righteous deeds. A person is not held accountable for the errors of their family as long as they do not condone them. It is not advisable to engage in arguments with them if one is prone to obsessive thoughts (waswas), but rather one must delve deeply into religious understanding (fiqh), recite the Qur'an frequently, read books of spiritual refinement and the biographies of the pious predecessors, and act upon what encourages good in the Qur'an and Hadith to achieve guidance and steadfastness.
