The answer

What you have mentioned about abandoning prayer and fasting, committing immoral acts, disobeying parents, and other major sins indicates a severe weakness in faith. Therefore, one must hasten to sincere repentance before it is too late. The door of repentance is open to every person before the sun rises from the west or before witnessing death, as Allah Almighty says: "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'" [Az-Zumar: 53]. And you must perform many good deeds and acts of obedience to expiate sins, because "Indeed, good deeds do away with evil deeds." [Hud: 114].
