I am a 21 year old girl and yes seek guidance and spiritual tranquility after a time when I had to many disorders and moral depravity. I have committed many sins and omissions, as in religion and in favor of morality. Now, when I fell regret, again I am powerless to follow a method or way that will completely remove me from my previous life and turn me into a religious life full of happiness and goodness. What would be your advice in connection with this case?

Dear, based on what you explain, means that everything is in your hand, so our message is: help us help yourself before anyone else. All the chances are that there is awareness that you are sinful, so the only thing you should be set on what you want. It is not enough just to think your improvement, but must take concrete steps to improve your situation. You are aware that sin and do not care for the under admitted pessimism that after I committed sins now there is no way for me, because it means complete submission to the devil (Satan). There is no sin that is not forgiven by Allah SWT except shirk, if you repent, so no great sin in repentance, but there is no small sin daily practice. Dear sister, you should take bold steps in your life, if you want to be faithful and honest, and this is possible, but depends on you. Here, if you suggest some steps that will help: get a positive decision. Initially, search the help of Allah, then repent to Allah with a broken heart, no doubt because he accepts repentance from broken hearts. Put that most will never return to the path of sins, how come that only sadness when they think. Then, turn away from bad company, divert, music society, alcohol etc., socialize with believers has such good because even where lives, but they should be required. Back prayer, because prayer forbids evil deeds and dishonorably. Back Qur'an because Qur'an softens and heals the heart, Dear sister. Your salvation from this road that is currently there for your return to Islam. For this you must cut decision, courage and bravery to tell the devil no, I am no longer a slave but yours will be the slave of Allah This is your salvation. We pray to Allah SWT to help you in your guidance, your return to Islam in the way that Allah is pleased with.
