Yusuf Chambers: Lot of people are concerned about this and I know I am myself. How do we know.. what are the indications, how do we know whether repentance is accepted? What are the indications? Dr. Zakir: The indications as far as for your repentance to be accepted by Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala No. 1 is that you do not commit the same sin again and your good deeds keep on increasing and your bad deeds keep on decreasing. This is no. 1 sign that Allah has accepted your repentance. No. 2 that you have the fear of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala No. 3 is that you regret to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and you keep on asking His forgiveness. No. 4 is that you are humble and you always address Him in humility. So these are four signs which shows that your repentance has been accepted by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. The signs of non-acceptance of the Tawbah, repentance is deficiency in the person’s repentance and he remembers the pleasures of his sins and he gets preoccupied in continuing the sin. That’s no. 1 No. 2 he is so sure that his repentance will be accepted as though he has got immunity and he is immune to it and surely he will be forgiven. That’s no. 2 No. 3 is that his eyes don’t cry and his heart is hardened. No. 4 there is no increase in the good activities that he is doing. No increase in the good deeds. And our beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) , said its mentioned in Sahih Muslim Vol. no. 4 in the Book of Repentance Hadith no. 6621 that “If the people do not commit any sins Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala will wipe them out and replace the people who commit sins and who ask for forgiveness So that Allah can forgive them” Now here if you understand this Hadith it will look very odd that does Allah want us to do sin? If you don’t do sin, Allah will remove you. What it means that there are some people who do sin and who may ask for forgiveness and repent and may come closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and their good deeds will increase and these people will go to Jannah. On the other hand some people go to good deed and they have a conceit they are son proud of themselves and that will take them to the hellfire. So Allah says that if there is a group of people who don’t do sin, Allah will replace them with the people who do sin that they ask for forgiveness and Allah will forgive them that means you should have humility. So these are the signs for not acceptance of your Tawbah. Yusuf Chambers: May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala continue to accept our repentance and our Tawbah, Dr. Zakir.
