Please bear in mind that I am not a Muslim, when you read this reply.

It is in our human nature to fail again and again and again ...
Is this the first time that you repented of something, promised yourself (and Allah) to do better ... and then failed in keeping your promise???
If so, you must be amazing! :)

I fail in my hopes and desires to do better and be better only every day!

What do I do?
I pick myself up, push deeper into God's presence and will, pray,pray,pray, and try again!
And I trust that God forgives me ... again and again and again ... as long as I am sincere!

Peace to you :)

i don't think you need to worry. remember in the very first surah what attributes do you find: irrahman irraheem.
never forget god is merciful.

Repent again, simple as that. We aren't perfect.

We muslims are prone to error, we are not angels, we are going to commit sins, the important thing is to repent sincerly and try your upmost to not commit that particular sin again, end of the day it depends upon your intentions, if you do then, repent once again and do not fall into despair, NEVER fall into despair, Allah (swt)'s forgiveness has NO boundries, He does not have human characteristics...also my advice is to listen to brother Yasir Qadri's lecture 'Oh Allah, Forgive Me' it is brilliant, it will serioualy make you tearful and understand that Allah (swt)'s Mercy has no limit, SUBHNALLAH.

asalam alaikum wr wb,

*draws a long sigh* Ahhhhh... What can I say about the boundless mercy of Allah swt? He is the only One who puts balm on our deepest wounds, forgives our biggest sins and removes our biggest obstacles. He isn't like humans who once wronged will never forgive you again, but He calls to His servants to repent and seek His forgiveness again and again. To His Sovereignty belong the ninety nine parts of mercy and the hundreth He gave to this world. He loves those who repent, not turn away in despair.

Every night, Allah swt in His Eminence and Majesty descends to the lowest heaven saying, ‘Is there anyone to ask Me so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone to invoke Me so that I may respond to his invocation? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?’” (Narrated by Muslim.) :cry:


How endless His mercy is that it should put His servants to shame for despairing of it. Pray to Him to forgive you and show gratitude by striving harder to refrain from the same mistake again. But never allow a repeated mistake mislead you from believing that Allah won't accept your repentance again. He is AL-GHAFUR - The Forgiving One, AR-RAHIM - The Merciful, AL-MUJIB - The Acceptor of Prayer, or The Responsive, AL-WADUD - The Loving, AR-RAUF - The Lenient, AL-KARIM - The Generous.



Wa lam yakul-la-hu kufu-wan ahad!
And there is none comparable unto Him.


wa alaikum asalam wr wb.

^ The question is are you sincere every time you repent, and do you truly regret your actions and are willing to try again?

If you are making a mockery out of Islaam, it is not good - e.g. listening to music thinking 'oh i'll repent later and then listen to music again' - is wrong

But Listening to music - with a heavy weight on your heart and the fear of commiting sin - and you repent - that is true repentance..

Hold up...check this...it explains it better...

One thing that has helped me a lot (since I have learned to do it) is accept the Qadr of Allaah. Accept what He is decreed for you, and you will be the happiest and content of people.

Complete trust in Allaah's Decision

However, thats the shaytaan's job. He will tempt you again and again. Read this inshaaAllaah;

The Traps of Iblees (Shaytaan)

It is a very interesting read, I assure you. Opens your eyes to how clever shaytaan is.

It depends on your level of Imaan really.

Example: When your level of Imaan is low and you are driving/walking by some shops, that are blasting your ex-favourite song out, you would want to listen to it again and again, because you like the sound of it.

However, when your Imaan is High, you would try not to listen to it, and push it to the back of your mind, or remember the Hadiths (punishments regarding Music and reward for fighting against nafs) and refrain from listening to it.

Wa Allaahu Aalim.

(P.S. I'm using music as the example, because that is the most common one nowadays)

YES!!!!!!! :D

Will Allah accept my repentance if I returned to the sin once more? The answer is yes.


The evidence for this is the story of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with the man who visited him and asked:


If I performed a sin – O Prophet of Allah – would it be recorded?

The Prophet answered: Yes.

The man said: what if I repented?

The Prophet said: It will be erased.

The man added: What if I returned to the sin once again?

The Prophet answered: It will be recorded once again.

The man said: What if I repented?

The Prophet said: It will be erased.

The man said: What if I returned again?

The Prophet said: It will be recorded.

The man asked: What if I repented?

The Prophet said: It will be erased.

The man said: What if I returned again?

The Prophet said: It will be recorded.

The man asked: What if I repented?

The Prophet said: It will be erased.

The man asked: Until when will it be erased?

The Prophet (SAWS) answered, “Allah does not stop bestowing His forgiveness until you get bored of asking for it.”

Don't go to the extreme.

Religion isn't hard so don't overburden yourself.

Abû Hurayrah relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said “This religion is easy. No one becomes harsh and strict in the religion without it overwhelming him. So fulfill your duties as best you can and rejoice. Rely upon the efforts of the morning and the evening and a little at night and you will reach your goal.” [Sahîh al-Bukharî]
