Imagine having to explain the sin as Allah watches it happen
Imagine having to stand in front of Allah and watch the sin being committed in front of you, and then having to explain it. Allah mentions in Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 135: "And those who, when they commit immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins..." Repentance: Breaking the Habit of Sin is built around exactly that verse and the door it describes.
What the book offers
Keep the door of repentance open between you and Allah, because He is always ready to forgive you. This short work walks through what genuine Taubah requires and how a habit of sin, however entrenched, can actually be broken rather than merely regretted.
