Once a person regrets the sin, has made sincere Taubah and resolved never to go back to it, then Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala is Most Merciful.
He forgives those who are sincere in seeking repentance and does not hold them accountable for that sin.
Allaah says:
“Say: O ‘Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful” [al-Zumar 39:53]
Allaah will forgive ALL sins, major OR minor, IF a person is sincere and makes taubah. Even the worst of the sins, that is, shirk. Allaah will forgive the person if he makes taubah before he dies.
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“The one who completely repented of sin is like the one who has not sinned at all.”
(Ibn Maajah 4250; Hasan by al-Albaani)
Ibn Taymiyah said:
“No sin is too great for Allaah to forgive for the one who repents, rather He forgives shirk and other sins for those who repent.”
Allaah said in a Hadeeth Qudsi:
‘O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.
O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you and I would not mind.’” (saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi)
So NEVER EVER lose hope with Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.
However after repenting, Shaytaan will cause you to doubt the Almighty's Mercy.
Don't despair .
Don’t fall for his trick!
Have good hopes with Allaah and do your best never to repeat any of the mistakes of the past.
Remember, Allaah’s Mercy and Forgiveness is GREATER than ANY sin we make.
