IslamicAnswers.com: Islamic Advice

I committed a great sin & feel dirty, hopeless & betrayed

I stumbled across this website in my desperation to find a solution to my problem and for some much needed advice. As I am typing this, I am realising how much stronger I have become in my personality, prior to this for the last two months I have been in agony, constantly crying, no sleep, and falling behind in all my duties. Just a little about myself, I am a 24 year old well educated girl, with a very successful career.I have had a fulfilling life, and come from a very caring and stable family. I always strive to better myself in my faith, often going on pilgrimage to makkah.
