Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah is Forgiving and Merciful, and whoever repents of a sin with sincere repentance, Allah will accept his repentance and forgive his transgression. The repentant person returns as if he had no sin. He should have a good opinion of Allah, and frequently make supplications and humble pleas to Him. Remembering the sin is sometimes beneficial. He should also increase in performing good deeds, for indeed, good deeds efface bad deeds.
