There are some sins I do that I know inshaAllah I'll commit again. I don't want to do them, but I can't resist sometimes. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. The point is, I'm not 100% sure that I'm never going to commit it again, so how can i attempt tauba?
Because of this, I feel like I can't repent until I'm sure that I will never commit the sin again. I feel like it's a "fake tauba" if I make istighfar and promise Allah to never return to that sin, when I'm pretty sure I'll return anyway due to my weakness and desires, and that I'm not yet ready to give it up completely 100% even though I want to. By "not ready" I mean "man I know I won't be able to resist this 100% of the time from this point forward."
On the other hand, there are sins I gave up where i was convinced I would never do it again, however I slipped, but repented again with near complete conviction that I wouldn't do it again, and alhamdulillah it's been very long and I think I've left it forever inshaAllah. But that's different to what I'm asking here, because with those sins, I literally thought to myself "I think I can 100% resist this sin for the rest of my life inshaAllah."
What are your thoughts on this?
