Does God forgive a girl who used to go out with young men but wants to stop doing so, and has repented and started wearing the hijab?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The previous action was forbidden, but Allah's grace is vast, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Repentance erases what came before it, so if a person repents with sincere repentance, Allah will forgive him. Allah Almighty says: (O YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED, REPENT TO ALLAH WITH SINCERE REPENTANCE. PERHAPS YOUR LORD WILL REMOVE FROM YOU YOUR EVIL DEEDS AND ADMIT YOU TO GARDENS BENEATH WHICH RIVERS FLOW) (At-Tahrim/8). And the one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. Allah rejoices at the repentance of His servant. It is necessary to remain steadfast in repentance, distance oneself from bad companions, strive to draw closer to Allah through acts of obedience, and seek good company.
