While repenting I made an oath to Allah that I would always find my way back to him any time I commit a sin. And while I really want to strive to do that, I’m worried that I won’t be able to uphold this oath. I understand we are human: we forget and we are sometimes unaware of a sin we are committing/have committed. So now I’m wondering what should I do. Is my oath valid? Do I owe an expiation in the event that I sin and don’t make Tawba?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Repenting from sin is a personal obligation and not something that falls under the rulings of oaths. Therefore, your oath does not require expiation if you fall into sin and delay repentance. However, your commitment to always turning back to Allah is a noble intention, and you should strive to uphold it as best as you can. Simply return to Allah in sincere repentance whenever you go astray, without burdening yourself with unnecessary worry. Allah is Most Merciful and always accepts the repentance of those who turn to Him.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329f4","tag":"Worship: Repentance","count":63}],"createdOn":"2025-05-06T19:42:45.945Z"}
