Is it Too Late to Save My Soul?

11 November, 2023
Q From a young age, I've been very engaged in Islam. Praying my daily namazz, reading Qur’an, and staying away from sin. As I got older, my connection to Allah weakened, and Shaitan’s influence in my life grew stronger and stronger, beginning with an addiction to porn, which became an addiction to sex, and escalated to the position I am in now.

With the potential of being sent to prison for life, I am scared for my salvation. I feel like there has been a negative mental health throughout my life and now Shaitan has blackened my heart and turning to Allah and ask for forgiveness feels futile. I'm scared that if I die in prison, that I will never see paradise, and that my actions in this life can't be fixed.

I've tried to make positive changes, like praying for my namazz and reading the Qur’an again, asking for forgiveness after every namaaz, as well as giving money to Sadaqah and spending time away from the Internet and with my family. However, with my prospects of life, it feels like my efforts to change now will reap me no benefits in this life or the next.
