You might say: “I want to repent, but my sins are many indeed. There is no kind of immoral act, no kind of sin, imaginable or otherwise, that I have not committed. It is so bad that I do not know if Allaah can forgive me for the things that I have done over the years.”
In response, I would tell you that this is not a unique problem; it is one that is shared by
many of those who wish to repent. Let me
give you the example of a young man who
asked this question once. He began his
career of sin at a very early age, and by the
time he was only seventeen, he already had
a long record of committing every kind of
immoral act, major and minor, with all kinds
of people, old and young alike. He had even
abused a little girl. Added to this was a long
list of thefts. Then he said: “I have repented
to Allaah. I now pray tahajjud some nights,
and I fast every Monday and Thursday, and I
read Qur’aan after Fajr prayers. Will my
repentance be of any avail?”
The guiding principle for us Muslims is to
refer to the Qur’aan and Sunnah when we
look for rulings, solutions and remedies.
When we refer this matter to the Qur’aan, we
find that Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning): “Say: ‘O My slaves who have
transgressed against themselves (by
committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not
of the Mercy of Allaah, verily Allaah forgives
all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. And turn in repentance and in
obedience with true faith to your Lord and
submit to Him…” [al-Zumar 39:53-54].
This is the answer to this particular problem.
The matter is quite clear and needs no
further explanation.
The feeling that one’s sins are too great to be forgiven by Allaah stems from a number of factors:
The absence of certain faith on the part
of the slave in the vastness of Allaah’s mercy
A lack of faith in the ability of Allaah to
forgive all sins
Weakness in one aspect of the heart’s
action, namely hopee
Failure to understand the effect of
repentance in wiping out sins inshaAllah, this points will be answered.
“… and My Mercy embraces all
things…” [al-A’raaf 7:156]
It is sufficient to quote the saheeh
hadeeth qudsi: “Allaah says: “Whoever
knows that I am able to forgive all sins, I
shall forgive him, and I shall not mind,
so long as he does not associate
anything with Me.’”
(Reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer,
and by al-Haakim; Saheeh al-Jaami’,
4330)..
This refers to when the slave meets his
Lord in the Hereafter.
(Reported by al-Tirmidhi; Saheeh al-
Jaami’, 4330)..
This refers to when the slave meets his
Lord in the Hereafter.
(Reported by al-Tirmidhi; Saheeh al-
Jaami’, 4338)..
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him): “The one who repents from his sin
is like the one who did not sin in the first
place.”
(Reported by Ibn Maajah; Saheeh al-
Jaami’, 3008).

Islam for Muslims pleaseeeeee!!!!!!
