One must turn to God and repent to Him, even with an abundance of sins, for God loves those who repent and forgives their sins. There are authentic supplications for seeking forgiveness, such as the master of seeking forgiveness (Sayyid al-Istighfar), which forgives sins and grants entry into Paradise to its reciter. One must also persevere in striving against the self to abandon acts of disobedience, such as delaying prayers, listening to music, and bad habits, because prayer is the first thing a servant will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment.
