Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
What would you advise someone to do who committed zina a long time ago and although they have made tawba for it it still haunts them? Is there something else they can do to make up for their sin?
Answer:
Walaikum assalam,
The person should be aware that true repentance wipes out the sin and its traces.
The Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) counseled more than one Companion:
“Fear Allah wherever you may be; follow up a bad deed with a good one and it will wipe it out; and deal with people with the best of character.”
This is the best of counsels, as it came from the Best of Creation (Allah bless him & give him peace).
Walaikum assalam,
Faraz Rabbani.
