As far as the question “What-makes-a-soul-pure-again “, it is obvious that the questioner thinks that the soul also becomes dirty and impure like the body. And he rightly thinks so. Sometimes the soul becomes so dirty and impure that a person wants to change it or throw it, just like his dirty clothes, but he neither can change nor throw it. Only washing or cleaning is possible at that time. And this can only be done through repentance or Arabic term is Tobah.
What is Tobah? Toba means a return to Allah, it is like lighting a torch to illuminate the dark path, returning to the lost path, and taking a bath to remove the filth.
Sin is a poison and its antidote is repentance, sin is a crime and its atonement is repentance, sin is a disease which is healed by repentance, sin is a deficiency which is cured by repentance, sin is an ugly stain and its cleansing is repentance, sin is an impurity and to remove this impurity, there is no ordinary water for bathing but the water that comes out of the eyes i.e. tears are needed.
One thing more, repentance is something when anyone remembers his sin, he does not feel pleasure in it, but a feeling of remorse, repentance and disgust arises. In the end these tears of remorse flow on his cheek like a flood.
