If a servant repents with sincere repentance that fulfills all conditions, then forgetting the sin does not harm him. In fact, remembering sins is not praiseworthy unless it motivates one to perform good deeds that expiate them and renew the meanings of repentance, or if it does not disturb the purity of a greater act of obedience. Therefore, one must turn away from the whispers of remembering sins and focus on obeying Allah, memorizing the Qur’an, and seeking knowledge. Given the limited time, one should prioritize the most beneficial and important sciences and organize time for maximum benefit.
