I keep falling back into sin, no matter how hard I try to repent and stay away I just keep falling back towards it :/. Any advice would be appreciated

I am in a similar situation. I have seen a couple of suggestions around doing a lot of Istighfar, asking Allah for help with staying away from those sins while acknowledging that we’re weak and that He makes us dislike those actions and makes it easy for us, praying involuntary prayers or fasting involuntary fasts. I guess we need to try to make conscious effort to get closer to Allah and that’s between you and Him so intentions are of paramount importance. It also depends on the kind of sin we’re talking about. Like I keep falling back to watching TV and movies and I have to find alternatives to those and it’s hard but would need to do

I am no expert, but you have to understand that this is the nature of the human, we are in a battle with our nafs until we die and the doors of repentance are not closed until then

All very good comments above. What I’ve found to personally to help is reading 10-15 mins of Quran every day - it’s a nice reminder and habit that makes me think twice about sinning knowing that I’m going to pray/read the Quran

I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!! In a world full of internet trolls, it was so refreshing to be on this thread while we all cheered for each other and pushed each other to climb over our failures and discouragements. Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
