There are 4 main steps one must take to repent:

No matter what sins you have committed, there is always a way to repent and start afresh! There are 4 main steps one must take to #repent:

1) Stop the sin.
2) Regret deeply and truly for the sin you committed.
3) Return to Allāh [subḥānahu wa ta'āla] for #forgiveness.
4) Make a strong intention never to return to that same sin again.
There is also a fifth step:
If the sin involved infringing on the rights of other people, then one must return the infringed rights back to the individual to whom they belong.

Don’t forget the special #Dua for the Night of Decree:

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُـحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
O Allāh, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.
