Q :
I am a 32 year old woman and throughout my life have committed many sins. I intend to repent these and am now wearing the hijab (veil). If I truly repent will Allah forgive me?
A :

If you are truly sorry for what you have done and intend not to sin again Allah will forgive you: " إِلا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلاً صَالِحاً فَأُوْلَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَّحِيماً " (translation: Unless he repents, believes and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful).

Before Omar Ben El Khattab MABPWH embraced Islam he too admitted to committing many sins. He proudly stated that Allah forgave all of his sins and replaced them with good deeds. True repentance absolves all sins: " قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ " (translation: Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful).

Sheikh, Hamdi Amin
