Salaamun 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh.
To Proceed:
Then to inform you of the receipt of your letter [which was]undated - may Allaah confer upon you His Guidance - and what it contains from the clarification of you falling into some prohibitions and that you are remorseful for what you did and that you ask to be guided to the correct way, to the end of what you mentioned - as is known. Furthermore, we inform you that we counsel you with the incumbent necessity of making
[1] Tawbah (repentance)
and to have
[2] An-Nadm (regret/remorse) for the error that which you fell into
and to have
[3] Al-'Azm as-Saadiq (true and firm resolve) that you will not return to that [sin]
accompanied with
[4] Al-Istighfaar (seeking much forgiveness) and Al-'Amal As-Saaleh (righteous actions).
And receive glad-tidings of goodness and a good end, as Allaah, free is He and far removed from all imperfections, the Most High says:
And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). (Ta-Ha 20:82)
May Allaah grant us and you success in achieving that which pleases Him.
Wassalaamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh
