What is Taubah?

whatpath:

Ali (ra) was asked as to what is ‘taubah’ and he replied that it consists of six elements:

1. To regret one’s past evil deeds

2. To carry out Divine duties that were missed

3. To restore the rights that were usurped

4. To ask forgiveness of a person who has been wronged by him physically or verbally

5. To make a firm resolve of avoiding the sin in future

6. To consume one’s self in obedience of Allah(swt) as one thus far consumed one’s self in His disobedience.
