Dought and Clear, - Rulings on Tawbah, - BeingCertain That Repentance is Accepted.

If a person repents and feels that he has fulfilledall the conditions
of repentance, can he be sure that his repentancehas been accepted, or
should he just hope thatthis is so?
Praise be to Allah.
We put the following question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-'Uthaymeen, may Allahpreserve him, who answered as follows:
No, he can only hope that this is so. No one can be sure that his
repentance has been accepted.
And Allah knows best.
