Answer
As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
Dear respected brother in Islam,
Almighty Allah is most merciful and most forgiving. In order to invoke the
mercy and forgiveness of Allah, you should make tawba(repent). There are
three conditions of an accepted repentance.
1. Sincerely regret the sin committed.
2. Repent to Allah for the sin committed.
3. Make a sincere and firm intention never to repeat the sin in the future.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best
