Therefore, in order to strengthen the memory, to receive protection from the punishments of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and to enjoy the eternal blessings of Paradise, we must abandon sins and get into the habit of constantly repenting. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Allah’s mercy must be upon us.

Hujjat-ul-Islam, Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said:          If you repent immediately, then it is hoped that very soon the disease of committing sins will be terminated from your heart and you will get rid of the burden of the evil influence of sins. Do not be afraid at all of the hardness of the heart that develops due to sins, but always keep your eyes towards your heart as some pious people have said: ‘Indeed, the heart gets dark due to committing sins and the sign of darkness of the heart is that one does not feel worried about sins. He does not get an opportunity to worship; advice does not benefit him (i.e. his heart remains unaffected even after listening to advices).’ O dear! Do not consider any sin to be minor and despite indulged in constant major sins, do not consider yourself as having repented.
