Mistake and Apology

There was this incidence of a person writing in favour of a deviant ideology. This type of events do take place. Man is fully prone to commit mistakes. When it was pointed out to him that this is not the right thing to do then he accepted his mistake and tendered an apology, repented and refreshed his old connection and returned to the old path. This is commendable. This really pleased the heart. He did not try to fuzz the situation by lame excuses. The trick is to consult a Mufti before you publish anything. The truth about a mistake is that if it is done publicly then the apology too must be public while a mistake done privately is written off with a private repentance itself.
