Q&A for How to Ask Allah for Forgiveness

To get forgiveness, as said in the Qur'an, praying and asking Allah is the best. Make sure you do not commit that sin again, though.

Allah is more merciful than anyone, he will forgive. To let yourself be safe from Shaitaan's trap, ask Allah for forgiveness and promise to never commit that mistake again! You should never expose your sins, keep it with Allah and he will forgive you.

Allah will keep forgiving you as long as you ask for forgiveness.

Why not do both? Remember Allah is merciful, just don't repeat your mistakes.

Engage yourself daily in thikr, the remembrance of Allah. Spend your time reading the Qur'an, or going to the masjid. Bad deeds arise from free time; occupy yourself in worship.

Show Allah your remorse by not following the same path again, by helping others to follow a better path, and even by asking forgiveness from the girls you were with. Keep Allah in your heart and soul.

Yes, those who missed salaah should perform it as qadaah, which will make up for it.

No! You did the right thing. In the future, try to stall him while you call the police. He has no right to treat your family that way.

Simply make tawbah and ask for repentance. Try to be as sincere as possible by praying two rak'ah Salah tul Tawbah. Promise not to do it again and try to change your ways, such as by filling your free time with worship or seeking knowledge. If you do it again, don't stop asking for forgiveness, as this is what shaytaan wants. Also, try a porn blocker (e.g. CleanBrowsing DNS).

Of course not. School is only a small part of your life, and it's not unusual to have difficulty focusing.

Shaytaan wishes to remind you of your sins, but Allah is most forgiving and most merciful. If you sincerely make tawbah, Allah will forgive you for your sins.

If you ask forgiveness sincerely, you will definitely be forgiven, no matter what you have done. Allah is always waiting for us to repent, and he loves the ones who repents to him. Ask sincerely for forgiveness from Allah, and surely he will forgive you. Also, fast a day (after Ramadan) to make up for the day, because any sexual pleasure that results in an emission (pre-ejaculate does not count) breaks the fast.

The majority of scholars agree that all Prophets (peace be upon them) were free from all kinds of major sins; they may have made mistakes or forgotten things or committed minor sins, but they were constant in their forgiveness, and in spreading the word of Allah.

Only Allah has the answer to this, but if you asked forgiveness deeply and felt clean from the inside while experiencing a harmonious feeling, it means you are forgiven.

First of all, it is never too late to pray. You should start practicing prayers from the age of 7, although it is not FARD. The prayer becomes FARD (compulsory) when you become mature (i.e. puberty or age 15 - whichever comes first).

Your Salah will not have your utmost Khushu (Focus). It won't really mean anything. It'll just be a chore to your brain, and eventually, you just won't want to do it. Read Salah with focus. It helps to understand the Arabic you're reading.

It's a sin to speak disrespectfully to either of your parents. His bad behavior doesn't justify yours.

Obeying our parents is the second-best deed, after faith in Allah and His Messenger. The Qur'an says, "And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents." If you disobeyed your parents, however, and want to repent, then make tawbah to Allah. Make du'a for them, such as "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small," and "“Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established."

If you truly regret doing it and refrain from doing such acts in the future, then Allah absolutely will forgive you. Repent sincerely.

No, you only repent to Allah but you must make amends with your husband. If you have committed adultery and only Allah knows, and there are no four witnesses, then you will definitely be granted forgiveness after Allah's will, as Allah is the most Forgiving and most Merciful. Avoid exposing your sin.

Your intention matters; we pray to worship Allah. This should be your focus. Avoiding Allah's punishment is another reason, but primarily, prayer is a form of communication with your Lord.

Don't worry, Allah is almighty and he will forgive you, but now don't miss salah.

Allah is most forgiving. All you need to do is to admit, reflect and promise to never do it again.

It is human nature to sin; even the first humans (Adam and Hawah/Eve) sinned by eating from the tree, from which they were forbidden to eat, and exposing their nakedness. But they asked for forgiveness, and you should too: "The two replied: "O our Sustainer! We have sinned against ourselves, and unless Thou grant us forgiveness and bestow Thy mercy upon us, we shall most certainly be lost!"

Yes. Tell your mom the truth and then pray.

Masturbation is haram if it is done just for enjoyment. It is permissible if it is done to relax and get rid of the disturbing desire. It is wacib (necessary) if there is a risk for fornication. I personally don't advise you to do it. When the urge comes, go to the bathroom and wash that part of your body with cold water. It stops the impulse and desire. Masturbation once during Ramadan breaks the fast, and you need to repent for it. If this happens two or more than two times during a Ramadan, you need to fast two lunar months and return the fasts.

Continue praying to Allah (SWT) to help you to never do the bad deed that you did ever again.

If you accidentally ate, that is fine, and you can continue your fast. “Whoever forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks, then he still completes his fast. It is only Allah who fed him and gave him drink." This applies only if you were unaware that you were fasting.

We are only permitted to keep cats as pets, because dogs are impure.

Make Tawbah for your missed salah and promise that you will be steadfast in your prayer hereafter. Pray the optional and sunnah prayers to compensate for them.
