A sister from Algeria shares a deeply personal question: for 15 years, she prayed and fasted without knowing that she needed ghusl (ritual purification) first — invalidating her worship without her realizing it. After Allah guided her to correct her mistake, she asks what she should do now to make up for those lost years.
In this powerful response, the sheikh explains the rulings around ghusl and its connection to prayer and fasting, then offers heartfelt guidance: be grateful for the guidance you've received, commit fully to your five daily prayers and fasting, and increase in voluntary acts of worship — extra prayers, charity, dhikr, Qur'an recitation, kindness to parents, and maintaining family ties. He reminds viewers that sincere repentance wipes away what came before it, and that Allah's door of tawbah remains open until the sun rises from the west or the soul reaches the throat.
A moving reminder that no matter how long you've strayed, sincere repentance and returning to Allah is always accepted.
