Meaning of Zina After Marriage
The first important thing about “how to repent for Zina after marriage?” what I will explain now is the meaning of Zina after marriage. I want you to understand that first before you read any further explanation in this article. Why? Because that is the basic thing that you must understand about Zina after marriage.
If we examine the sentence "Zina after marriage", then we will find two things that we must understand:
Zina
“Zina” is an Arabic word. The writing is: الزِّنَا. Linguistically, the word "Zina" has several meanings. Some popular meanings are narrow and up.
The meaning of "zina" in Islamic law is having sex without a legal marriage according to Islam. In several previous articles I have explained a lot about it. I think that's obvious. So, I won't explain much more about it in this article. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you read it.
After marriage
I don't think there's much to explain about the phrase “after marriage”. In simple terms, we can understand the sentence as the status of someone who is married. But one important thing I want to explain about the marriage referred to in the sentence, is that what is meant is a true marriage according to Islam.
So, specifically, we can understand “zina after marriage” as sex performed by someone who is married. In Islamic legal literacy, Zina after marriage is called الزِّنَا الْمُحْصَنُ.
That is a brief explanation of the meaning of Zina after marriage. As Muslims, we must understand that.
Why Is Repenting for Zina After Marriage Important?
By the way, do you know why repenting for Zina after marriage is important? Actually, if you want to understand that, then you have to understand Zina in Islam.
In several articles about Zina that I have published, I often explain that Zina is one of the major sins. Sin is a mistake. So, all mistakes or all sins will have a negative effect on the person who has committed them.
For example, one of the major sins in Islam is killing. If someone has killed another person, then that person will always feel guilty. In fact, it is very possible that he is always haunted by the person he has killed. As a result, his psychological condition is disturbed. Maybe he'll go crazy.
Likewise, people who have committed Zina. It was very possible that he would always feel guilty. He feels guilty towards his parents, his wife, her husband, the person with whom she is Zina, her family, and so on. He felt that he was dirty. And, one thing for sure is that she will get a very cruel torment in Hell because she has committed Zina.
The only way to remove sins and reduce guilt to others because of Zina is to repent. Repentance is being aware of and regretting the sins that have been committed and determined not to do them again. That is one of the things that must be done by people who have committed Zina. That is the reason why repenting for Zina after marriage is important. As Muslims, we must understand that.

One important thing I want to say before I explain more about what a person who has committed Zina should do after marriage, is that the things I'm about to explain can also be done to repent of Zina in general.
So, in general, there are five important things that must be done by someone who wants to repent for Zina after marriage. The five important things I mean are as follows:

Apologizing to Allah can be done by reading Istighfar, while apologizing to the Prophet Muhammad can be done by reading Salawat.

In the name of Allah, the most merciful in the world and merciful in the world and the hereafter. O my Lord, all mercy is yours, and all forgiveness is yours. O my Lord, grant mercy, salaam and blessings to Your best of creatures, our leader, Muhammad, and to all his family and all his companions. O our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or if we have done something wrong. O our Lord, do not give us a heavy burden as You have given a heavy burden to the people before us. O our Lord, do not give us an obligation that we are unable to do. Forgive us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Helper against the disbelievers. O our Lord, I pray to You that You will forgive our major sins and our minor sins. O our Lord, indeed I repent to You from Zina. I have prayed to You, O my Lord, as You have commanded me (to pray to You), so answer my prayer as You have promised me. Verily, you will not break a promise.
