Taubah and Repentance

Q: I want to repent, for the sins I committed, in front of Allah Ta‘ala at the time of tahajjud. Can you please tell me what i should do to repent?

Q: Its been a while I'm having some confusion about my attitude whether its something one calls self respect or sort of pride or ego. I'm not able to differentiate between the two terms. I'm aware of the virtues of forgiving others and have positive thoughts for others yet at times, no matter how much I try, I cant let go off the feeling that somebody did that to me, hurt my sentiments, and how much I try to get away from such negativity, it comes back to my mind with even more potential. Like, I will think "Did you forget what was done to you? Do you still wanna go and meet them? They cant be your allies like the way they used to be before.

One thing I would like to clear, it's not that I'm an egoistic person, I forgive easily but maintain a distance, even if my heart is willing to get the same ties back. Is it a version of pride? I need advice regarding my behavior towards such attitudes of people, even of close friends!

Q: I've made gheebat of many people but now I have repented.

1. Is it necessary to ask them for forgiveness as they do not know that I've made gheebat about them?

2. If I've made gheebat about somebody many years ago and they knew about it at that time but most probably forgot it now, do I have to ask them for forgiveness?

Q: When I commit a sin, I seek forgiveness but I struggle to feel emotions of regret in my heart. Is it okay if I force my self to be regretful and does hating the sin qualify as remorse?

Q: Apart from making duaa, can one fast as a means of asking for forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala for a sin committed?

Q: Can we do tawbah in Urdu?

Q: I drank 2 small sips of beer that contains 6 or 8 % of alcohol but I didn’t feel any type of difference in my body. Everything was normal and no intoxication and nothing different in my behaviour.

My question is, can I go for payers to the mosque or I’m not allowed to enter the mosque for 40 days?

Q: When I was young and not baaligh I remember taking stickers from my young uncle without his knowledge which he didn't want to share with me. Now as an adult I realise the wrong of my action. Am I sinful? And if so, how can I recompense? I do not wish to answer for this wrong in the Hereafter.

Q: In Islam, will I be forgiven for having intercourse with men as I am one myself which I only did twice in my life as a mistake. I want to know if I will be forgiven if I repent and go to paradise. It feels as though I wont and I am really worried because its a major sin and people say I wont be forgiven.

Q: Are we accountable for having an evil intention? For having an evil determination, is it equal to the punishment of doing the deed itself?
