A Piece of Advice for Those Afflicted with Sins and then Repented 
Q: I am a secondary school student. I was religiously committed and loving of the Ever­ Glorious Qur'an and knowledge. Then, I changed and began to keep bad company and practice masturbation and do many evils such as sodomy, playing around with girls and spying on the neighbors. I talk with my colleagues about religion and Islamic groups at school, the Masjid (mosque) and at home. 
Many a time, I have tried to give up sins but I could not. I need a satisfactory treatment prescribed by Allah and His Messenger. I will become satisfied only when I get your response. May Allah save you for Islam and grant you health and safety! As­salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!) 
A servant of Allah 
A: As­salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh 
I ask Allah with his Most Beautiful Names and Attributes to grant you sincere Tawbah (repentance to Allah), open your heart to accept Al­Haqq (the Truth) and protect you from befriending evil people. He is the best to ask for help. I advise you to adhere to sincere Tawbah, which includes three things: 
1­ Regretting all past sins.
2­ Giving them all up for fear of Allah and out of glorifying him.
3­ Sincere determination not to commit these sins again seeking reward from Allah. 
When you do this, you will be given the glad tidings of forgiveness and good outcome. May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him and protect us all against the whispers of Satan and the evil of the soul and evil deeds. He is All­Hearer, Ever Near. 
As­salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh
