Prayer of repentance is not a condition for making repentance
I want to know if Istighfaar (asking forgiveness) with the intention of repenting (regret, sincerity, and so on) is counted as repentance or if the only way of repenting is praying Salat At-Tawbah(prayer of repentance).

Worshipping Allah to have prayers answered
My problem is that I feel that every act of worship that I perform is done for the sake of having my prayer answered. I fast because the supplication of the fasting person will be answered; I pray the supererogatory prayers in order to come nearer to Allaah so that He would accept my supplication. In brief, I feel that all my worship is not purely for.. More

I am very afraid of that, so I sometimes change my Tilaawah to another one that does not cause me such thoughts, but I do not like it that much. I.. More

Fearing insincerity of intention in doing good deeds
Asslaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I have read almost all the fatwas regarding the intention, but I still have the same concern.

Pardoning others but continuing to hate them
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is regarding forgiving others who have hurt you: is it enough to forgive the person by saying, 'I forgive you,' while the feelings of hatred are still present in the heart?
