Conditions of Nasuha's Repentance

In order to be successful in performing nasuha repentance there are several conditions that must be met.

Repent of all his sins.
Regret begins with a heartfelt acknowledgment and with full honesty if what we have done is wrong and violates. This is important to raise the level of awareness so that in the future there is no longer a sense of permissiveness in committing sins.

Then after that gave birth to regret, sad, angry and afraid for all the sins we have done. This feeling arises after we know the various threats of Allah SWT against the sinful act and also hope with full trust in the mercy of Allah SWT..

Promise not to do it again.
A person can be said to have repented if his sinful act is completely abandoned and not repeated. This can be said to be a mental move. This mental hijrah process is necessary so that all doors to the possibility of committing a sin can be closed tightly and do not open up the opportunity for the act to be repeated..

Fight
Then after the two conditions above are fulfilled, Allah SWT will re-test the servant who has done repentance. The test is in the form of an urge to return to a sin that has been abandoned as well as an urge to commit another sin. Be patient with the test and keep praying for God's pleasure and mercy to always protect us from sinful actions because we humans are weak creatures.

Apologize to fellow humans
If the mistake is related to our relationship with others.
Express your sincere apology, sincerely and with open chest. Accept the chest if the affected person still harbors anger or hurts, ask forgiveness to Allah Almighty for him.

Prayer After Prayer of Repentance

Evidence of Prayer of Repentance

In terms found in the book Kifayah At-Thalib Ar-Rabbani and the book Lisanul Arab, repentance is defined as :

الرُّجُوعُ مِنْ أَفْعَالٍ مَذْمُومَةٍ إِلَى أَفْعَالٍ مَحْمُودَةٍ شَرْعًا

Repentance prayer is a prayer that a servant is required to do in order to repent to Allah SWT and return from sin and immorality.. And the prayer of repentance is not prescribed unless someone is repenting to Allah SWT. Because we humans often make mistakes, we recommend to perform the prayer of repentance

The opinion of scholars says that the repentance prayer is a masyru prayer’ and its shari'ah has been established through sharia texts.

From Abu Bakar Ash-Shiddiq RA said ,"I heard Rasulullah SAW say :

"There is no servant who commits a sin, then he performed ablution’ well, set up prayers 2 rokaat, then ask Allah for forgiveness, except surely Allah (SWT) will forgive.

Then he read the following verse :

And (too) a person who commits heinous acts and persecutes himself, they remember Allah, then ask for forgiveness for their sins and who else forgives sins other than Allah? And they did not continue the heinous act, while they know.

(HR. Abu Daud |)

Evidence of masyru'iyah from the Taubah prayer is also found in other hadiths :

From Abi Ad-Darda’ may God bless him and grant him peace,"I heard Rasulullah SAW say :

"Who does ablution’ and improve his ablution, then stand up and pray 2 rokaat or 4 rokaat ,improve dhikr and humility, then ask forgiveness from Allah azza wa jalla, surely Allah will forgive.

(HR. Ahmad)

All scholars have agreed that repentance is obligatory. Because repentance will erase all sins that have been committed in the past.

But the law of repentance prayer is different from the law of repentance . Generally, scholars do not require repentance prayers. Just think the law is sunnah, as a complement to the repentance done.

In addition, the prayer of repentance is not prescribed except for someone who is in the process of repenting. That means, prayer of repentance is done occasionally, not done every day as in general sunnah rawatib prayers.
