Is the lust that men feel after repentance a trial from Allah, and is repentance accepted if one returns to indecency, and what is the way to get rid of this lust?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The treatment consists of seeking Allah’s help, frequently reciting the prescribed supplications to repel the whispers of Satan, studying books of encouragement and deterrence, accompanying the righteous, lowering one’s gaze, promptly marrying a righteous woman, increasing voluntary fasting, and consistently engaging in remembrance of Allah. Repentance is accepted from one who repents sincerely. One should divert their mind from this psychological ailment, fill their time with productive deeds, avoid provocations, and not refrain from marriage.
