Question

Ever since I was young I wasn't that close to Allah but I started sining and decided that I will repent to Allah and inshallah he will forgive me I started praying doing good deeds after exactly a month from doing tawbuh I started getting doubts it ruined my entire life until I went online and found that the companions of our prophet Mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam had doubts and the prophet told them that this is pure iman so I wanted to make sure if I'm on the correct path or not or Allah will punish me for doubts and what can I do to let them go.

Answer

Perform your salaah on time and make ta`leem daily with the recitation of the Qur'aan in the morning and evening. Try your best to maintain a relation with a pious shaykh. May Allah Ta`ala keep you on line.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
