Question
I am a Muslim fromSouth Africaand my 'Eemaan at times seems to drop due to racism experienced at the hands of fellow Muslim brothers, namely the Asians. My question is what do I do in a situation like this because most black brothers are turning to other groups because of the prejudice we get from our fellow Muslim brothers. I will not go against the teachings of the Prophet. Please help as this is becoming a very big problem amongst my people who are mostly reverts to Islaam.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
The real relation between Muslims is built on their common faith and belief in Allaah. It is not the colour, the language or the country.
Allaah says )interpretation of meaning(: }The believers are nothing else than brothers )in religion(. …{]49:10[. He also says )interpretation of meaning(: }O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allaah is that )believer( who has piety. Verily, Allaah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.{]49:13[.
The Prophetsaid: "There is no preference of an Arab over a non-Arab or a non-Arab over an Arab or a white over a black or a black over a white except by the )degree( of piety, you are all sons of Aadam, and Aadam came from dust." ]Ahmad[
What our brother mentioned in his question is against the teachings of Islam. In fact racism is a bad phenomenon that is strongly condemned by Islam. But we believe that it is not general. It is only with those who do not know the reality of belief, piety and brotherhood between Muslims. So, if this phenomenon is limited to a small group then we believe that you and the other African brothers should not be pushed by such acts to adhere to destructive religions or sects because of bad deeds committed by some Muslims. In fact, the truth that was revealed to ProphetMuhammadis not restricted to any group. Those who deserve it most are the ones who adhere to it in belief, deeds, speech and in spreading it.
You may also contact some well-established Sunni Islamic centers there inSouth Africato help with the problem of disunity among Muslims. They may be thoroughly familiar with these local issues and be able to provide advise, training and other needed expertise.
Allaah knows best.

Fathwa, - Muslims living by ethnic groupings; exclusively

Question
Is it possible for Muslims to group according to their ethnic group
and serve Islam and Muslims? What is the limit of the rights
ethnicity? If one ethnic group is the majority and Muslim, but is
cannot given the right status in the country and is oppressed by the
minority, under these condition is it forbidden if they organize
according to their ethnic group to get rid of these conditions and
live Islamic life, ruled and governed by Muslims? In connection to
this when I hear the terms like 'Arab league", "Arab Mujahiddin",
etc., is it permissible to have such organizations and other Islamic
ethnic-based military, political organization? The other issue in
connection to ethnicity is I hear some people claiming that" we will
not marry out of our ethnic group because the prophet never married
except ethnic Arabs and as we know if is not prohibited not to marry
out of your ethnic group, or marrying only from your ethnic group, we
know Islam made no discrimination in ethnicity making one higher than
the other but differ us only to know and live side by side isn't it?"
I want you answer all these in detail with all evidence from Qur'an
and Hadith in both Arabic and English language because I want to
discuss these issues with them. They made me confused and I want to
know the truth. Please send me soon with satisfying answer and
explanation!
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and
peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and
Companions.
Know that Allah wants the Muslims to be one community even if their
lands, races, nationalities, colours and languages differ. Allah Says
)interpretation of meaning(: }Truly! This, your Ummah ]Sharia or
religion )Islâmic Monotheism([ is one religion, and I am your Lord,
therefore worship Me )Alone(.{]21: 92[. Allah also Says
)interpretation of meaning(: }The believers are nothing else than
brothers )in Islamic religion(.{]49: 10[. He also Says: }The
believers, men and women, are Auliya )helpers, supporters, friends,
protectors( of one another.{]9: 71[.
The Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said,"The example of the
believers as regards their mutual love and affection is like that of a
single human body. If any of its parts aches, all other parts share in
the sleeplessness and fever".
He also said,"Muslims are equal as regards their blood, and they are
united against their opponents".
This unity that Allah wants necessitates that the Islamic brotherhood
be the strongest handhold around which all Muslims should unite and
under whose shade they should join hands. This is because the Muslims
are a nation established on the Islamic belief of Monotheism and in
the brotherhood of faith.
This does not however cancel the specialities and peculiarities of
each people. Every people have their own peculiarities and this is a
nature upon which Allah Created men. Allah Says )interpretation of
meaning(: }O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female,
and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another.
Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that )believer( who
has At-Taqwa ]i.e. one of the Muttaqûn )pious(...{]49: 13[.
There is no objection if people of the same race come together and
help one another in the cause of truth and righteousness. The Prophet
)Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( used to give each clan a banner under
which they fought, in order to increase their enthusiasm and bravery.
Ibn Hajarsaid in his book "Al-Isaabah":'there was a banner for each
clan'. But these clans are under the larger Islamic camp. If this
cooperation among members of each clan is in the interest of Islam and
the Muslims, it is not objectionable as long as it does not lead to
racial bigotry that counters the Islamic brotherhood. If it leads to
negative effects in the unity of the Muslims, it becomes useless. This
is the meaning of the Word of Allah: "The most honourable among you in
the sight of Allah is the most pious".
Faith and piety supersede all other considerations and all
relationships should lie within the comprehensive Muslim brotherhood.
If any relationship negates Islam, Islam will wage a relentless war
against it. The Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said,"Whoever
fights under a blind banner out of rage in support of a race or in
order to call to racialism and he is killed, such a person dies in a
state of ignorance"]Reported by ImamMuslim[.
The Messenger of Allah )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said in
condemnation of calls like these,"Leave it, for it stinks". ]Reported
by ImamsAl-BukhariandMuslim[.
Ibn Taymiyahsaid,'chapter about making distinctions among the Muslims,
in a way not enjoined by Allah and His Messenger'. Making distinction
among Muslims and scorning them in a way not sanctioned by Allah or
His Messenger like calling a man 'Shakili' or 'Farfandi'. These are
false names for which Allah has not revealed any proof to support
them. Any Muslim who is called by these names should say: I am neither
Shakili nor Farfandi. I am rather a Muslim who follows the Book of
Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. The names by which people can
be called are those that indicate an affinity to a school of Fiqh like
Hanafi, and Maliki, or those that indicate an affinity to a Sheikh
like Al-Qadiri and Al-Adawi, or those that indicate an affinity to
clans like Al-Qaysi and Al-Yameni or those that indicate an affinity
to cities like Ash-Shami, Al-Iraqi and Al-Misri. Nobody should however
scorn any Muslim with these names, nor take people as friends or
enemies on account of these names. In fact, the most honourable of all
people in the sight of Allah is the most pious from each group.
Since the most honourable among the people in the sight of Allah is
the most pious of them, it should be so in the sight of the people as
well. That is why the Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said,"If a
person whose religion and conduct pleases you asks for the hand of
your daughter in marriage, you should marry him. If you do not do it,
there will be much temptation on the earth and great
corruption"]Al-Tirmizi[. The criteria for accepting or rejecting a man
here is religion and conduct. If this condition is missing, there will
be great corruption.
Al-Mubaarak Purisaid in his commentary on the above Hadith,'if you do
not do it'. This means,'If you do not give your daughter in marriage
to him with whose religion and conduct you are pleased, and you only
ask for mere nobility of birth, beauty or wealth, there will be
widespread corruption. This is because, if you do not give her in
marriage but to a wealthy man or a famous man, many of your women may
remain without husbands and many of your men will remain without wives
and this situation can lead to fornication'.
All the above, does not however mean that no consideration should be
given to wealth and nobility and other qualities.
Al-Khattabisaid,'suitability is considered )in marriage( in the
opinion of most scholars. This suitability is in four things: )1(
Religion )2( Freedom from slavery )3( Lineage )4( Profession. Some
scholars recognize freedom from bodily defects while some recognize
wealth'.
These things are recognized and considered because they help in
perpetuating and stabilizing the marital life, which is the purpose of
marriage in Islam. Allah Says )interpretation of meaning(: }And among
His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among
yourselves, that you may find repose in them,...{]30: 21[.
Allah knows best.

Fathwa, - How to get rid of racism

Question
If one finds that there is racism in oneself. How can one rid oneself
of this bad trait? This is becoming a problem as people are becoming
aware of it and a solution is needed.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and
peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and
Companions.
Racism is a fatal disease and a very dangerous matter. Whenever it
spreads among a community, it divides them in groups and parties. The
racists act according to their emotions rather than their minds. Islam
totally disapproves of this and strongly condemns it. Islam teaches us
that the origin of all mankind is one; all of them belong
toAdamandAdamwas created from dust. Allah Says )interpretation of
meaning(: }O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female,
and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another.
Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that )believer( who
has At-Taqwa ]i.e. one of the Muttaqûn )pious(. Verily, Allâh is
All-Knowing, All-Aware. {]49:13[.
He made different groups and tribes only to allow them to know one
another, not to stimulate boasting or fighting between them. The
difference of languages, colours, nationalities and wealth are not
criteria to boast and show off. Indeed, the supremacy and superiority
are based only on Taqwa )God fearing( and this is something between
Allah and his slaves and no one knows its extent except Allah Alone.
The location of Taqwa is the person's heart and Allah Alone knows what
the hearts conceal. Allah Says )interpretation of meaning(: }...then it
is truly from the piety of the heart. {]22:32[.
The Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said:The piety is here, )and
while saying so( he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious
evil for a Muslim to look down upon his Muslim brother. All things of
a Muslim are inviolable from his brother in faith, his blood, his
wealth and his honour )should be respected(. )SaheehMuslim(
In fact, the differences of languages, and colours are among the
wonderful signs of Allah that proves His Might and Greatness. The
Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said in his last sermon:There is
no preference of an Arab over a Non-Arab or a white over a black or a
black over a white except by the )degree( of piety. )ImamAhmad(
In another Hadith the Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam( said about
racismLeave it )that call( as it is a detestable thing. ]Reported by
Imamal-Bukhari[.
Therefore, racism is totally rejected by Islamic teachings. Muslim
scholars and reformers have always denounced it. It has always been
the weapon of foolish and arrogant people, by using these hateful
feelings they always cause much harm to mankind as a whole.
Actually the founder of racism is Iblees )Satan( who objected to
Allah's Order to prostate toAdam. He claimed: }..."I am better than him
)Adam(, You created me from fire, and him You created from
clay."{]7:12[. So, Allah punished it by driving it away from His Mercy
and Blessings. Therefore, whoever is affected by this disease should
fear Allah and try his best to get rid of it, seeking refuge with
Allah.
The best way that could help one to get rid of this disease is, to
ponder in the Qur'an and Sunnah and to read the biographies of the
companions of the Prophet )Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam(.
Allah knows best.

Dought & clear, - Can she askher husband touse a condom to protect herself if he marries another wife?

In this day and age a lot of people step out of there marriage and
make kids that r not there husband and bring back S.T.Ds so can I ask
my husband to use condoms with me to protect myself if he take on a
second wife.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Zina is a major sin, great calamity and the worst of conduct, and its
consequences in this world, in the Hereafter and in the grave are
severe.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Made lawful to you this day are At-Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal
(lawful) foods, which Allaah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered
eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits)]. The
food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful
to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the
believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture
(Jews and Christians) before your time when you have given their due
Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of
marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not
committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girlfriends.
And whosoever disbelieves in Faith, [i.e. in the Oneness of Allaah and
in all the other Articles of Faith i.e. His (Allaah's) Angels, His
Holy Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar
(Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless is his work; and in the
Hereafter he will be among the losers"
[al-Maa'idah 5:5].
Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Just as it is stipulated that women be chaste -- which means
refraining from zina -- it is also stipulated for men; a man should
also be chaste. Hence Allah says"not committing illegal sexual
intercourse", referring to adulterers and fornicators who do not
refrain from committing any sin and do not control themselves. "nor
taking them as girlfriends" means: limiting himself to one woman or
mistress. End quote.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/43
Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
If a woman's husband commits zina with another woman, and does not
distinguish between halaal and haraam, his intimacy with that woman is
the same as the intimacy of the zaani with a woman with whom he is
committing zina, even if no one else is intimate with her, because one
of the forms of zina is taking a girlfriend or mistress.
End quote.Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 32/145
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
A woman saw her husband committing zina -- Allah forbid. What should she do?
He replied:
She should advise him, especially if that was the first time and she
has children from him. But if he persists in doing that then she
should seek an annulment of the marriage. However, in general, she
should weigh up the pros and cons and decide on that basis. End quote.
Thamaraat al-Tadween min Masaa'il Ibn 'Uthaymeen, p. 112
See also the answer to question no. 115107
Secondly:
The wife does not have the right to ask her husband to use condoms
during marital relations, unless there is a reason for doing that. The
fact that he has married another woman in a legitimate shar'i marriage
does not make it permissible for her to do that, unless it is clear
that the husband himself has a disease, such as AIDS and the like,
which could be transmitted to her through sex, or it becomes clear
that the other wife has a disease of this type, or the husband was in
a haraam relationship outside of marriage. In that case she has the
right to ask him to use condoms, so as to ward off the harm that is
thought to exist in him, until it becomes clear that he is free of
that. If it becomes clear that he is healthy and there is no obvious
source of danger of transmitting disease through him, then she no
longer has the right to ask him to do that. If it becomes clear that
he does have a disease which could harm her or be transmitted to her,
then she has the right to ask him to carry on using it; indeed, in
that case she has the right to ask him to annul the marriage, if his
sickness poses a danger to her and it is something that it is
difficult to treat or avoid, such as AIDS and the like.
See:al-Ahkaam al-Shara'iyyah al-Muta'alliqah bi Marda al-AIDS, by Dr.
'Umar Sulaymaan al-Ashqar, inDiraasaat Fiqhiyyah fi Qadaaya
Tibbiyyah(1/25 ff).
And Allah knows best.

I was sexually involved with a girl who was from my relatives but far relatives. Her ammi asked her to leave me because near her i was misbehaving person. I misbehaved her then i felt regret and asked for her sorry i asked for her sorry i beg her to forgive me and i hold her legs and asked for her forgiveness, she said she has forgiven me but she said she will not marry her daughter with me.
Her daughter was with me since 5 years and we have committed zina uncountable times for which we both regret and ask for forgiveness from ALLAH.
the girl was sincere with me and i was sincere with her, she said we will both marry cause we have done zina. then after i misbehave with her ammi even i asked for her ammis forgivesness by sitting down in her legs and holding her legs, after which she was with me for almost 1 and half year. Her ammi kept telling her to leave me but she didnt leave me coz she was sincere with me and coz we had committed zina we both wanted to get married with each other, but suddenly she said she cant live with me and she left me. since 1 year i have tried my best to contact her even i gave her some threats (only for reason that she talks with me so i can make her understand that i will not repeat that type of behave in future and will do as she will say) but she didnt contact me and not talking with me after that.
I don't know if her ammi has emotionally blackmailed her by telling her that she feeling pain in her left arms ( so she thinks her ammi is getting heart problem) or took promise from her that she wont talk with me im not sure but her ammi used to brain wash her by telling other peoples bad stories like someone beat her wife and someone has left her wife and someone gave divorce to her wife etc.she even said she has asked some baba( might be some religious person) that i will leave her after getting married. All i know is that ilm-e-gaib noone can tell.
1. Sir, my question is that what is the solution if we have committed zina shouldn't we get married? if we get married will it decrease our gunah?
2. if we don't get married our gunah can be forgiven by allah IF WE BOTH TAKE 100 LASHES? or simply just ask ALLAH for HIS forgivesness without taking 100 lashes?
3. If she wants to get married and her ammi is not letting us then we deserve the same gunah of 100 lashes?
4. If girl has changed her mind from marrying because of her ammi while i ( boy) still wants to get married for the sake of gunah of zina he has committed with this girl. if girl don't want to get married even she knows that she should get married with a person she has committed zina what will be the degree of gunah for the boy and for the girl?
5. if girl don't get married because of her ammi, who will be responsible for the gunah that she is committing by not getting married with the same person her ammi or she will?
6. if the girl don't marry with that same person what will be the degree of the zina's gunah for the boy even if he wants to get married?
I will be very thankful to you if you will give your precious time in answering my questions .
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
You should understand that you have a problem with regard to your religious commitment, and that is the greatest of calamities. You should also understand that the evil act of zina is one of the greatest sins that Allah forbids to His slaves and has highlighted to them its evil consequences. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)), and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives him)”
[al-Isra’ 17:23].
Shaykh as-Sa‘di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The prohibition on coming near to it or approaching it is more far reaching than the prohibition on merely doing it, because that includes all the things that lead to it and promote it. The one who grazes his flock around a sanctuary will soon transgress upon it, especially with regard to this matter, the inclination towards which is very strong in many people.
Allah described zina and its abhorrent nature as a “faahishah” or great sin that is abhorrent according to sharee‘ah, reason and common sense, because it includes transgressions against the rights of Allah, the rights of the woman and the rights of her family or husband, destroys marriages, mixes lineages and leads to other negative consequences.
The words “an evil way” means: how evil is the way of the one who dares to commit this great sin.
End quote fromTafseer as-Sa‘di, 457
Secondly:
Zina is a independent crime with serious consequences, and none of that sin can be erased unless you repent sincerely to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;
Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds, then verily, he repents towards Allah with true repentance.”
[al-Furqaan 25:68-71].
It is not one of the conditions of sincere repentance that the zaani should marry the one with whom he committed zina; rather in order for him to marry the one with whom he committed zina, it is essential for her (and for him) to repent first, then he may marry her after that if he wishes.
However, your sin of zina will not be any greater if her mother refuses to let her marry you nor will it be any greater if you end up not marrying one another after you both repent to Allah, may He be exalted. There is no blame on the girl or her family if she refuses to marry the one who committed zina with her because marriage, even though it may conceal the immoral actions that took place between you, is not a shar‘i remedy for the sin and shame of zina. Rather the remedy for that is sincere repentance and mending your ways – as much as you can – in the future, and doing a lot of righteous deeds, in the hope that Allah may accept your repentance.
See the answer to question no. 14381and 11195
Thirdly:
Repentance does not prevent the hadd punishment from being carried out on the one who repents and it cannot be waived or reduced if proof is established against him.
It is not one of the conditions of sound repentance that the hadd punishment be carried out in this world; rather if the sin of the sinner is found out and the hadd punishment is carried out on him in this world, that hadd punishment is expiation for him. If Allah conceals him, then the matter after that is up to Allah.
Al-Bukhaari (17) and Muslim (3223) narrated from ‘Ubaadah ibn as-Saamit (may Allah be pleased with him, who was present at Badr and was one of the leaders on the night of al-‘Aqabah, that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, when a group of his Companions were around him: “Swear allegiance to me on the basis that you will not associate anything with Allah, you will not steal, you will not commit zina, you will not kill your children, you will not fabricate lies against one another, you will not disobey in anything that is right and proper. Whoever among you fulfils this (oath), his reward will be due from Allah. Whoever does any of these things and is punished in this world, it will be expiation for him; whoever does any of these things then Allah conceals him, then it is up to Allah – if He wills, He will forgive him and if He wills, He will punish him.” So we swore allegiance to him on that basis.
Ibn Rajab said:
This clearly shows that carrying out the hudood punishment is expiation for those on whom it is carried out. That was clearly stated by Sufyaan ath-Thawri, and was also stated by Ahmad, according to the report narrated from him by ‘Abdoos ibn Maalik al-‘Attaar. Ash-Shaafa‘i said: I have never heard concerning the issue that the hadd punishment is expiation anything better than the hadeeth of ‘Ubaadah.
End quote fromFath al-Baariby Ibn Rajab, 1/72
See alsoFath al-Baariby Ibn Hajar, 1/73-74
Fourthly:
If the hadd punishment is expiation and purification for the one on whom it is carried out, and the sinner was concealed by Allah and was not discovered, is it better for him to confess his sin to the ruler so that he may purify him by carrying out the hadd punishment on him, or is it better for him to conceal himself as Allah concealed him?
Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
One of them, namely Ibn Hazm, quoted as evidence this hadeeth of ‘Ubaadah to show that if a person commits a sin, it is better for him to go to the ruler and confess to him so that the hadd punishment may be carried out on him and he may thus attain expiation and not remain in the danger zone. This is based on the words, “The one who repents is subject to the divine will.”
But the correct view is that the one who repents sincerely will definitely be forgiven. However the believer is worried about his repentance and cannot be certain that it is valid or has been accepted, so he still remains worried about his sin.
The majority of scholars are of the view that if a person has repented from sin, it is better for him to conceal himself and not admit it to anyone; rather he should repent from it and keep the matter between him and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. That was narrated from Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, Ibn Mas‘ood and others.
End quote fromFath al-Baariby Ibn Rajab, 1/75-77
And there is the report which offers great hope to the one whom Allah conceals in this world. It was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2261) and Muslim (4972) from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Allaah will bring the believer close and will shelter him with His screen, then He will say, ‘Do you remember such and such a sin? Do you remember such and such a sin?’ and he will say, ‘Yes, O Lord,’ until He makes him confess his sins and he thinks that he is doomed. Then [Allaah] will say, ‘I concealed it for you in the world and I forgive you for it today.’ Then he will be given the book of his good deeds (hasanaat). But as for the kaafir and the hypocrite, the witnesses will say,‘These are the ones who lied against their Lord!’ No doubt! the curse of Allaah is upon the zaalimoon (wrongdoers) [cf. Hood 11:18].’”
And Muslim (4671) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah does not conceal a person in this world but Allah will conceal him on the Day of Resurrection.”
Let everyone feel shy before his Lord, as He has concealed him, and not disclose what He has concealed.
Imam ash-Shaafa‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
We prefer for the one who has committed a sin that is deserving of a hadd punishment to conceal the matter and to fear Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and not go back to disobeying Allah, for Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, accepts the repentance of His slaves.
End quote fromal-Umm, 6/149
