Explanation
Our faith sometimes weakens and we become overwhelmed by our desires. The shaytaan makes sin attractive to us, so we fall into things that Allah 'azzawajal has forbidden. Now the question is not whether or not you will sin, because mistakes are in fact part of our nature.
The question is: what will you do after you've sinned?
"Prophet (ﷺ) said: A Repenter from the sin is like the one who has never sinned ."
Repentance- an Opportunity!
The concept of repentingis amazingly beautiful and unique in Islam. We don't confess to any intermediary; we turn to our Creator directly.
Allah al-Ghaffaar opened the gate of repentance to Himself and commanded us to turn to Him. This is an amazing combination! The fact that we can repent at any time and the fact that Allah gave us the knowledgeof how to repent is a great rahmah(mercy). Repenting is an opportunity!

The Wisdom Behind Repentance
Do you recognize this pattern? You commit a sin and then you feel bad afterwards, so bad that your guilt makes you feel down and so low that you feel you can't be forgiven - so why repent?
If you've done something so wrong, you must be a terrible person, right? Wrong! There's a major difference between being a bad person and doing something bad. Allah (swt) gave you the chance to repent and in shaaAllaah your sin will even be transformed into a good deed! Isn't that amazing?
