From among the most beneficial acts of the heart, is seeking forgiveness from Allah (ﷻ).
It is very essential that a Muslim seeks Allah's forgiveness continuously for he does not know which sin he will be taken to account for.
Allah (ﷻ) commands us to seek forgiveness from Him as He says:
*وَٱسْتَغْفِرِ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا*
_And seek forgiveness of Allah . Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.__
[4:106]
It is incumbent upon every Muslim to seek Allah's forgiveness for he may not know when death will catch up with him and it will be too late to repent.
This is the worst regret!
You know the truth to yourself. If the angel of death comes upon you today,
◾What do you think Allah will judge you for?
◾Are you ready to meet Allah (ﷻ) with your loads of sins?
◾What about the Sunnah and ibadat you neglected?
◾Are you dying upon the haqq (as a true Muslim)?
Do you still turn deaf ears to the words of Allah (ﷻ),
Or would you not reason?
That sin that you committed in secret or in the open, and you know it, and Allah (ﷻ) knows better.
*يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ*
_On a Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do._
*يَوْمَئِذٍ يُوَفِّيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ دِينَهُمُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ ٱلْمُبِينُ*
_That Day, Allaah will pay them in full their deserved recompense, and they will know that it is Allaah who is the perfect in justice._
[24:24-25]

And how Merciful is Allah (ﷻ) as He says,
*قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ*
_Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the Forgiving the Merciful_
*وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ*
_"And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islamic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islam), before the torment comes upon you, then you will not be helped"_
[39:53-54]

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (رضي الله عنه) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said, _"The one who completely repented of sin is like one who has not sinned at all.”_
[Sunan Ibn Mājah 4250]
Reflect!
May Allah (ﷻ), make us from the sincere repenters and those whom are closest to Him.
