Can I repent and return to obedience to Allah after I have stopped praying for a period?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the west, so you must repent immediately. The repentant is beloved by Allah. Allah Almighty said: "Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves." Repentance erases the sins that preceded it, and the one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. And whoever repents, believes, and does righteous deeds—Allah will change their evil deeds into good deeds.
