Question:
Salam,
Before I was not really in touch with my deen and used to do a lot of wrong things, listen to music 24/7 and waste time in nonsense but I started to wonder the purpose of my life and recently I started reading namaz 5x a day and I try to do tahajjud as well once a week and listen to music as less as possible, even quit. Now, I feel very ashamed of the sins I have committed before and cry in sajda before tahajjud. May ALLAH azzawajal forgive me and when doing other things feel in my heart if ALLAH will be upset with me if I do a particular act. What can I do to attain the mercy of ALLAH and get close to him and receive guidance in my life for him to forgive all that I’ve done??
Answer:

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Recite daily salawat on the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi salam) starting with 100x per day and recite “SubhanAllahi wa bi hamdihi SubhanAllah al-azheem astagfirullah” at least 100x per day.
Do not hurt anyone’s feelings by your action and talks, specially parents. Do not get angry at any situation. Practice humbleness. Allah guides those who are humble. Keep doing Tahajjud and 5X prayers.
