Allah accepts true repentance

After Adam (AS) and Hawwa (AS) had erred, they became remorseful, and prayed to Allah, 'Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.' (7:23) Because they sincerely repented, Allah turned to them in mercy, and forgave them. Indeed, He loves to forgive, and pardons all sorts of sins, of all magnitudes. As the Prophet (SAAS) said, 'Verily, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His slave than is a person who finds his lost camel in a desert.' (Bukhari)

We should thus repent to Allah frequently and fervently.
