I sin much and repent much; I want to repent with sincere repentance?
Repentance should be renewed every time a Muslim commits a sin or transgression. Repentance is accepted if its conditions are met.
If a servant sins, then seeks forgiveness and repents with sincere repentance, Allah will forgive him, as stated in His Almighty قول: (And indeed, I am the Forgiver of whoever repents, believes, does righteousness, and then is guided).
In the Hadith Qudsi: "My servant committed a sin and said: 'O Lord, forgive me!' Allah said: 'My servant knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and holds accountable for them. I have forgiven My servant.'" This was repeated three times.
This Hadith illustrates Allah's mercy and forgiveness. It is not an encouragement to commit sins, but rather a deterrent, for sins are wounds that can destroy their perpetrator, corrupt the heart, and harden it.
Therefore, one must resolve to abandon sins. What aids in this are gatherings of remembrance (dhikr), righteous companionship, increasing good deeds, and seeking refuge in Allah to purify the soul from transgressions.
