  1. "Huwa ghafurur raheem "my brother if Allah SWT ,THE FORGIVER can forgive the sorcerers that helped firaun then he can forgive keep up with the astagfar. Insha Allah you will be forgiven.

  2. Assalamu'alaikum sister Mehrun Nisa,

    May Allah Forgive you. We do not have much information to say what the kaffarah will be. If you feel comfortable in telling what the major sin (gunah-e-kabirah) was, in sha Allah, I will try and tell you what the kaffarah is, or if tawbah is enough. Your identity is anyway not known to anyone here.

    Allah Is The Most Merciful, so do not lose hope in Him, and May He Forgive you.

  3. Tawbah is something that is between you and Allah; your Creator, Sustainer, and Cherisher. And it’s something that we should really do often [not just in Ramadaan], because Allah says: إن الله يحب التوابين “Surely, Allah loves those people who constantly repent to Him (do Tawbah to Him).” [2:222] Notice Allah did not say: “Allah loves the Taa’ibeen (those who repent)”, but he said: تَوَّابِيْن, which means “those who constantly, over and over, repent to Allah.”

    Allah is the most forgving of them all , the only way you can be forgived in such manner is that u start to repent towards Allah .

    :pray as much as you can.
    : keep continuing to do tawbah.
    if you don't pray 5 times namaz start now.
    : give out to the poor.
    : help others in need.
    : continue doing good deeds to fill your heart with purity and in shaa allah youl feel like yourself again.

  4. In the name of Allah most merciful..
    "Indeed! God does not forgive the sin of ascribing partners to Him, but He forgives anything else to whom He pleases, and whoever takes partners with God has gone astray into far error".Qur'an (4:116)

    No one know that what will happen to you at the day of judgment. I assure you Allah Mercy is more above. He is Ghafoor(most forgiving). Do tobah in such a way that make hope that Allah forgive you, but also fear from Jahanum, may Allah give you reward of your sin. I pray for your forgiveness. May Allah forgive you.
    I will also advise you for increasing your relationship with Allah, do more and more good deeds Pray nawafil, do zikar , recitation of Quran with understanding and also fasting. All the ways through which you can inrease your love with Allah, such that weight of your good deeds(beneficence) heavier then your sins.

    “…And beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful. “
    Quran (Surah An-Noor, Verse 31)

    “Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance, that He may grant you good enjoyment, for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding Grace to every owner of grace. But if you turn away, then I fear for you the torment of a Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).”
    Quran (Surah Hood, Verse 3)
    May Allah guide us.

  5. Subhana Allah!!! Have you picked up the Qur'an ?

    Allah, the Exalted, says:

    "And ask forgiveness for your sin...'' (47:19)

    "And seek the forgiveness of Allah. Certainly, Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'' (4:106)

    "And declare the freedom of your Rubb from imperfection beginning with His praise, and ask His forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives.'' (110:3)

    "For Al-Muttaqun (the pious) there are Gardens (Jannah) with their Rubb, underneath which rivers flow. Therein (is their) eternal (home) and Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives). And Allah will be pleased with them. And Allah is All-Seer of the (His) slaves. Those who say: `Our Rubb! We have indeed believed, so forgive us our sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire. (They are) those who are patient, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend (give the Zakat and alms in the way of Allah) and those who pray and beg Allah's Pardon in the last hours of the night.'' (3:15-17)

    "And Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam)) are amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek (Allah's) forgiveness.'' (8:33)

    "And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allah - and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.'' (3:135)

    Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is! If you do not commit sins, Allah would replace you with a people who would commit sins and seek forgiveness from Allah; and Allah will certainly forgive them.''[Muslim]
    Riyaadus' Saaliheen 1871

    Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: We counted Messenger's saying a hundred times during one single sitting: Rabb-ighfir li, wa tubb `alayya, innaka Antat-Tawwabur-Rahim. (My Rubb! Forgive me and pardon me. Indeed, You are the Oft-Returning with compassion and Ever Merciful.''
    [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
    Riyaadus' Saaliheen 1872

    Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "He who says: `Astaghfir ullah-alladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayyumu, wa atubu ilaihi (I seek the forgiveness of Allah, there is no true god except Allah, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, and I turn to Him in repentance),' his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield (while he was engaged in fighting for the Cause of Allah).''
    [Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim (on conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim for accepting Hadith)].
    Riyaadus' Saaliheen 1874

    Commentary: When we say that this narration fulfills the conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim; it means that its narrators are the narrators of Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Secondly, in this selection those conditions have also been kept in view, which are the landmark of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

    Shaddad bin Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "The best supplication for seeking forgiveness (Syed-ul-Istighfar) is to say: `Allahumma Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana `abduka, wa ana `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu, a`udhu bika min sharri ma sana`tu, abu'u laka bini`matika `alayya, wa abu'u bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta. (O Allah! You are my Rubb. There is no true god except You. You have created me, and I am Your slave, and I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me, and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon).' He who supplicates in these terms during the day with firm belief in it and dies on the same day (before the evening), he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah; and if anyone supplicates in these terms during the night with firm belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah.''
    [Al-Bukhari].
    Riyaadus' Saaliheen 1875

    You know what I think you better read this entire chapter from Riyaadhus Saaliheen.

  6. keep repenting and dont reveal ur sin. Allah(S.W.A) Has kept it secret so dont reveal it. continue repenting and praying. prayers are expiation of sins. never lose faith in Allah(S.W.A). it isnt the things that we have done that make all the difference, but what we do from that moment onwards.

  7. salams,

    inshallah allah will forgive all our sins. Don't lose hope or patience.
