Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Are perpetual sadness and contemplation in sins forbidden or not? It is like: a person commits a sin, and when he repents, he remembers that sin and how he did it, and he is in a state of permanent sadness, and he may not even want to live after he remembers that guilt and relegates himself to the level of the animal. Is this something positive or negative, and psychiatrists may think that he should not remember so that he does not live in negativity?

Answer

In the name of Allah, if the sinner remembers his sin, along with it let him remember the divine forgiveness and the promise of forgiveness and from Allah, as the Almighty says in His Noble Book “O My worshipers, who have sinned excessively against themselves, do not despair of the Mercy of Allah, surely, Allah forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful. The penitent believer does not forget his sin, and the disobedient who neglects the rights of Allah Almighty is the one who forgets a sin. Allah is the Guide and Knowing.
