Note: From Sincere Tawbah Is To Not Miss Your Sinful Past

 💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Whatever sin a Muslim has committed in the past should be forgotten, especially if they sincerely did Tawbah and repented from such wrongdoing. Whether your husband used to mingle freely with many women in his college days, if he can dance well as he was part of a varsity cheerleading squad, if he was the lead singer of a local band previously, or if he used to partake in forbidden Riba/usury, all his inappropriate misdeeds shouldn't define him now that he's striving to become a better Muslim, even if he still does other wrongs which he is currently working on. Similarly, if you had a wide collection of movie VCDs/DVDs and music cassettes back then in your teenage years, if you wore immodest outfits like sleeveless turtlenecks or tight bell bottoms, if you smoked pot or Shisha with your gang, and if you carried out the most unbelievably outrageous acts in Truth or Dare games, but you no longer do any of those along with certain sins you prefer to keep as a secret between you and Allah the Most Forgiving, people have no right to label or describe you based on your past wrongdoings.

You can't judge anyone according to their former doings and sins, when they've practically moved on, preparing for a brighter future, specifically in Jannah, by studying Islam and improving themselves in the present.
