Repentance

Repentance is the act of individuals in Islam acknowledging their sins and seeking forgiveness from Allah. Repentance consists of two stages: the first is to feel genuine remorse for sins in the heart; the second is to express this remorse by turning towards Allah. Repentance is a process of seeking refuge in Allah's mercy and internal purification. Throughout Islamic history, Muslims have demonstrated this will for the forgiveness of sins. This act is also vital for the individual's spiritual development. Repentance not only forgives sins but also provides an opportunity for the individual to correct their character.
