Feeling despondent after sinning

· 1 Muharram 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If someone has done repeatative sins and he is unable to repent and is feeling Allah's anger on him, what should he do?

Answer

There is no need to feel that Allah Ta`ala is angry since the doors of repentance have never been closed for anybody, and moreover when His doors are ever open. In fact, the one who sincerely repents, Allah Ta`ala loves him. When Allah Ta`ala loves him then how can you say that Allah Ta`ala is angry with him.

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