Is repentance obligatory, and how should it be done, after the Qur'an accidentally fell to the ground, and the feeling of guilt still persists?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Therefore, no sin befalls you in this, nor is it considered a shortcoming on your part. So, beware of obsessive whispers (waswasah).
