Repenting from shirk
Question
After committing shirk how can you repent and why do you feel like you have lost imaan? I get evil thoughts from shaitaan and I don't know what todo?
Answer
Make taubah and recite the kalimah and also announce your taubah in the presence of those people before whom you committed shirk and abandon all areas, ways and people that could lead you to shirk again.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
