What should a person do who repented and became steadfast for 6 months, but did not feel psychological comfort or the sweetness of faith, then suffered a major relapse and stopped praying, and now fears death in this state and wishes to return and feel a result?

The answer

In this world, man is afflicted and surrounded by enemies such as the self, Satan, whims, and bad companions. The wise believer is certain that Paradise is the ultimate abode and that this world is a mere passage. Therefore, he must strive diligently, armed with knowledge and faith. The sweetness of faith comes through uprightness, by purifying the heart from the whispers of Satan, sincerely repenting, avoiding bad companions, and associating with good companions, especially for those who have abandoned prayer. Renewing repentance is best, reminding one of death to prepare for that day with faith and righteous deeds.
