Will Allah forgive a person who masturbated with another person at the age of 15 and did not pray, and has now repented, and started praying and worshipping, but still feels uneasy and that his acts of worship do not atone for what he did? And what should he do?

One should not despair of the mercy of Allah, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, and His pardon is greater no matter how great the sin. Sincere repentance erases sin, and the servant should turn to his Lord with worship and obedience.
