The Ruling on Sincere Repentance from Major Sins

Question
Does God punish a person after sincere repentance from forbidden relationships before marriage in this world?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: We ask God, the Exalted and Majestic, to forgive the repentant, for He is the Most Merciful of the merciful. However, it is necessary for him to increase his seeking of forgiveness, giving charity, and doing good deeds, so that perhaps He may overlook him. And God knows best.
