Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Muhammad Salih from al-Jawf says: I have committed many sins. Will Allah forgive me for what I have done if I repent to Allah the Exalted? What are the conditions of valid repentance?
Answer:
Yes, if you repent to Allah with a sincere repentance, then Allah will erase all your sins and transgressions.[Az-Zumar 39:53-54] That is, repent and turn back. [Az-Zumar 39:54] It is obligatory for the Muslim, if he commits a sin, to hasten to repent, even if his sins are many; he must not despair of the mercy of Allah. [Al-Hijr 15:56] The Exalted [Al-Hijr 15:56-57] (Exalted and Majestic is He) [Yusuf 12:87] said: The Muslim, no matter what he does, does not despair of the mercy and forgiveness of Allah; rather, he repents to Allah, hastens with repentance, and amends his work. And Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), [Al-Kahf 18:30]. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, if you repent to Allah with a sincere repentance, then Allah will erase all your sins and transgressions.
(53) 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." (54) And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ وَأَنِيبُواto your Lord and submit to Him
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُHe said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
قَالَAnd who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?" (57) [Abraham]
وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلَّا الضَّالُّونَ قَالَIndeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."
إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَWe will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.
