Guidance for the one who returns to sin after repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I committed a sin, I repent from it, and then I return to it. How do you advise me? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
He should be directed to sincere repentance. One of its conditions is that he resolves not to return to the sin. So resolve not to return to the sin, and Allah the Exalted will help you. But if, by the decree of your soul that commands evil and the adornment of Satan, you return to the sin, do not forget repentance. Repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic and repeat the repentance. Every time you become aware, repent to Allah with a valid repentance. And Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا
[Az-Zumar 39:53]
