Question:
Assalamualaikum,
Ya Sayyidi, I have committed terrible sins with this boy and I fear Allah’s punishment in this world and the next. This boy has abused me for so long, but I have committed a lot of sins although I was abused by him. I keep asking forgiveness and protection from Allah, but deep inside I know I don’t deserve to be forgiven or protected. Because of this, I struggle everyday and I am so scared that I will be punished. And I can feel that fear all the time and I can’t take it anymore. I do not know what to do Ya Sayyidi. Please help me. Allah has guided me away from this boy, Alhamdulillah. But I fear that this boy will harm me somehow. Please pray for me. What do I do to be protected and forgiven? Ya Sayyidi, I need your help.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Read Surat Ya Sin and trust in Allah’s forgiveness not because we deserve it but because He is the All-Merciful and All-Generous.
