The answer

I praise Allah for saving you from those delusions. Repentance erases what came before it. No matter how great the innovation (bid'ah) was, sincere repentance wipes it away and expiates it, even polytheism (shirk). Allah Almighty loves those who repent and rejoices at the repentance of His servant. Indeed, He may even transform the sins of the repentant into good deeds, seeing the sincerity of their repentance and the completeness of their return to Him. Therefore, you must have a good opinion of Allah and supplicate to Him to grant you sincere repentance. Whenever you regret and acknowledge the corruption of those beliefs and abandon them, your repentance is valid and accepted.
