Asking for forgiveness
Question
I am trying to not to do sin. I am trying to get better but sometimes when I try to repent and cry over my sins I feel that I don't have any sin to cry on but I know I am not innocent and I do many sins every now and then. Please give me some advice to repent sincerely and to have great taqwa.
Answer
Continue asking for forgiveness for the wrongs that you have done knowingly or unknowingly.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
