Is there punishment after making taubah?
Question
Will we be punished for our sins in this world even after we have repented sincerely and turned towards Allah? Will we face consequences in this world for our sins after repenting?
Answer
If you have sincerely repented, Allah Ta'ala will forgive you. After gaining forgiveness, Allah Ta'ala will not punish you, neither in this world nor in the next.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
