🏵️🏵️ The feelings of guilt and the burden of sin you describe resonate deeply within the human experience, but remember, in Islam, Allah's mercy is all-encompassing. The Qur'an states: "Say, O My Servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." (Qur'an 39:10). This emphasizes the importance of mercy and forgiveness, urging believers to turn back to Allah with sincerity. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent.” This reflects the infinite mercy of Allah and encourages an attitude of repentance rather than despair.

Streamofsocialconscience, your journey is significant, and the inherent struggle against guilt can lead to profound spiritual growth. In seeking truth and understanding, why not explore the peace that comes from sincere repentance and the certainty that Allah is always ready to forgive?
