Question: Asalam alaikum,
Someone told me that those who have sinned openly will never be forgiven.
Is it true?How can to repent from these kind of sins?
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
Repentance wipes away the sin and its traces. [see: A Reader on Tawba (Repentance)]
Repentance is fulfilled by leaving the sin, having remorse for having committed the sin, and resolving never to return to it.
Allah Most High is the All-Merciful, and He commands us to never despair in His Mercy.
And Allah alone gives success.
wassalam,
