Will Allah accept my repentance after I have committed many sins and forbidden acts, and what should I do to compensate for the prayers I missed and the rights of people that I currently do not have money to fulfill? And do the many sins and unlawful earnings committed previously prevent the acceptance of supplication?

May God congratulate you on your obedience and your resolve to repent. You must be sincere in your resolve to repent, to be upright, to distance yourself from environments that facilitate sins, and to seek good companionship. Know that God accepts repentance from His servants and forgives evil deeds, and He has promised to answer whoever calls upon Him. Repent to God sincerely, regret what has passed, and increase in seeking forgiveness and performing good deeds. You must make up for the missed prayers and the days you did not fast. You must also return the money you took to its owners without informing them of the theft. Strive to collect money to fulfill these rights, for one's liability is not cleared except by returning them or obtaining the owners' forgiveness. Consuming unlawful earnings is one of the reasons for unanswered supplications, but God turns in forgiveness to whoever repents with sincere repentance.
