Today, I got angry so badly that I said that I hate Islam and I hate Allah. I feel so bad now and I sincerely repented. But how do I redeem myself such that it is as if I have never said these things?

As-salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, my dear brother/sister.
First, I want you to take a deep breath and understand something very important: Allah is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. We all make mistakes, and sometimes, in moments of extreme anger or distress, we say things we don’t truly mean. But what matters most is that you feel regret and have sincerely repented—and that in itself is a sign that your heart is still connected to Allah.
*** Sincere Tawbah (Repentance) – The Door of Mercy is Always Open
Allah tells us in the Qur’an:
This means no matter what you said or did, if you sincerely repent, Allah will forgive you completely. And sincere repentance (Tawbah) involves:
Feeling deep regret for what you said.
Asking Allah for forgiveness with sincerity.
Making a firm intention to never say such words again.
You’ve already done this, Alhamdulillah! That’s a huge step.
To erase the effects of this sin and bring your heart back to peace, try these:
Say Shahada (Testimony of Faith): Since your words were severe, reaffirming your belief in La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah can bring peace to your heart.
Pray Two Rak’ahs of Tawbah: The Prophet ﷺ taught us that if we sin, we should pray two units of prayer and seek forgiveness. After praying, pour your heart out to Allah—He loves when His servants turn back to Him.
Increase in Good Deeds:
And lastly, anger pushed you to say something you didn’t truly mean. The Prophet ﷺ advised:
Next time you feel overwhelmed with anger:
Seek refuge in Allah by saying: A’udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil).
Make wudu (ablution)—it cools down the anger.
Step away from the situation and breathe before speaking.
Remember, this mistake does not define you. Allah sees the remorse in your heart, and He loves those who repent. Keep moving forward, and use this as a turning point to strengthen your faith even more.
May Allah forgive you completely, fill your heart with peace, and grant you strength and patience. Ameen.
