Moving On From Past Sins
Assalamu alaikum everyone. I recently embraced Islam. Before that, I was in a relationship outside of marriage with a non-Muslim woman, and I deeply regret that sin. We parted ways last October when she asked for space. I never had ill intentions-I always hoped for marriage. After we separated, she became pregnant without my knowledge, but she miscarried at 10 weeks. She told me six months later while she still worked at my brother’s shop. I sincerely repented and tried to comfort her, even proposing we make it halal through nikah, but she refused. Maybe because I earn little as a shop assistant, and she’s about to graduate as a nurse. I still support her financially out of care, expecting nothing in return. I can’t forget her; she’s on my mind constantly. How can I move on? JazakAllah khair.
