Being Sincere In Our Repentance.!!

All praises & thanks are be to ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى). The Lord of the Aa'lameen.

As'Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh,

Scholars said: It is necessary to repent from every sin. If the offense involves the Right of ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى), not a human, then there are three condition to be met in order that repentance be accepted by ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى):

1- To desist from committing it.

2- To feel sorry for committing it.

3- To decide not to recommit it.

Any repentance failing to meet any of these three conditions, would not be sound.

But if the sin involves a human's right, it requires a fourth condition, i.e., to absolve onself from such right. If it is a property, he should return it to its rightful owner. If it is slandering or backbiting, one should ask the pardon of the offended.

One should also repent from all sins. If he repents from some, his repentance would still be sound according to the people of sound knowledge. He should, however, repent from the rest. Scriptural proofs from the Book and the Sunnah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ and the consensus of the scholars support the incumbency of repentance.

ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى), the Exalted says:

"And all of you beg ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) to forgive you, O believers, that you may be successful". [Qur'an, 24:31]
•
"Seek the forgiveness of your Rubb, and turn to Him in repentance".
[Qur'an, 11:3]
•
"O you who believe! Turn to ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) with sincere repentance!".
[Qur'an, 66:8]
•
If you fail and fall into sin, repent immediately. You should regret it and be determined never to indulge in any sinful behavior in the future.

And ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) knows best.

May ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) forgives us our sins and accepted all our repentance as an acts of ibadat (worship).
Allah Humma Aameen.
