Suleiman Hani – How Do I Repent For A Repeated Sin?

			How do I repent for a repeated sin?
		

			One of the most common questions is about the habitual sin, the one that is repeated and the person
repents, and then they go back to the sin and then they repent. So someone asks, How many times
should I repent to Allah if I keep falling into sin, meaning in other words, they've given up and
one of the traps of the shaitaan is to cause people to despair from the mercy of Allah or to lose
hope that they will ever change. So eventually he wants them to give up on this path to repentance.
However, we find that as we've mentioned many times as we hear in the Muslim community, often there
is no sin that you cannot ask Allah to forgive you for so always seek the the Mercy of Allah
		

			subhanaw taala repeatedly, no matter how many times you fall short, to the extent that a man came to
Al Hasan bacilli rahamallah He said a man falls into a sin and then repents and then falls into a
sin and then repents and then falls into a sin and then repent. What do we say about this man? And
hustle mostly Rahim Allah said, this there is nothing that I know about this except that this is the
behavior of the believers, meaning this is what you should do. However, as you are repenting on the
from the aspect of sincerity, you want to also logistically make some kind of change. If there is
some things in your environment or your friends that is triggering you to fall into this repeated
		

			sin, then try to make some logistical change so that you don't keep falling back into the same sin.
In other words, try to learn from your mistakes. However, you can continuously return to Allah
subhanho wa Taala but do not stop and do not give up and do not lose hope in the Mercy of Allah
subhanaw taala for he does forgive all sins, and Allah subhanaw taala knows best
