When he is overtaken by his desires and falls into sins , he should not despair of the mercy of Allah "God " , rather , he should return to Allah and rush to repent to Him ; he should blame himself for the disobedience he committed , and punish himself by depriving his soul of the some of it’s the desired things so that it will not command him to disobey Allah again . Repentance requires three things in order for it to be accepted : 1. Shunning the sin . 2. Regret it . 3. Being determined not to perform it again . * When a Muslim sincerely repents , Almighty God , accepts his repentance and forgives his sins . Allah says in the Quran " O you who believed ! turn to Allah with sincere repentance ! it may be that your Lord will remit from you your sins and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow" ( At- Tahreem: 8 )
