Question
I do not know if I am still a Muslim. I have lost all hope. My life has been extremely ugly and filthy. Today I am a young baalighah girl. Since early childhood my brother and I were indulging in sexual misdemeanours. Even while close to buloogh we have had sexual relations. Now that I have realized the extreme Satanism and filth of our misdeeds, I have made Taubah. However, I doubt that my taubah will be accepted. What should I do in this evil dilemma? Will I ever be forgiven?
Answer
Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Majeed:
"Say (O Muhammad!) to My servants who have oppressed themselves (with the filth of sins): „Do not lose hope in the Mercy of Allah, for verily, He forgives all sins."
Even if one's sins are as huge as the mountains and as numerous as the bubbles on the ocean, a sincere Taubah effaces all sins. There is no need to lose hope.
In addition to Taubah, remember that your brother is no longer a brother in the truest sense of the term. Stay far from him. Should you cross paths, ensure that you are in full hijaab including the Niqaab. Do not even offer Salaams. May Allah Ta'ala guide and save you from the vile dictates of the nafs and the snares of shaitaan.
LESSON FOR THE
MOLVIS
This episode is the tip of the iceberg. The community is rotten with incest of a variety of kinds. Brothers and sisters, fathers and daughters, grandfathers and granddaughters, stepfathers and stepdaughters, fathers-in-law and daughtersin-law, and mothers-in-law and sons-in-law become enmeshed in the tentacles of shaitaan and the evil of the nafs when they become careless and overstep the boundaries of the Shariah. We are aware. Our fingers are on the pulse of the community. We receive innumerable letters of such vile sexual misdemeanours from all parts of the world.
