Repentance
Question asked by Nazir N. Harb.
Posted on: Monday, January 24, 2005 - Hits: 2029

Question:
When must one seek forgiveness, that is, do ‘Tauba’?

Answer:
Despite firm resolutions, human beings are prone to committing errors and sins. Whenever true believers fall into errors and commit sins, they must turn to God for forgiveness. We can, however, err again even after sincere repentance and firm determination to avoid committing a sin again. Therefore, a more appropriate attitude will be to turn to the Almighty each time we sin and seek His forgiveness. However, this does not mean that we should stop seeking God’s pleasure and forgiveness for sins that we may have no knowledge of. Pious servants of God always try to repent for all intentional or inadvertent sins.
