(Ayah 60){اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَ اٰمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ … : } The remedy for diseases such as neglecting prayer and following desires is repentance, faith, and righteous deeds. Repentance, faith, and righteous deeds, that is, one who is steadfast in prayer and subjugates his desires to the command of Allah, will enter Paradise and none of his reward will be lost. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: [ اَلتَّائِبُ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ كَمَنْ لَّا ذَنْبَ لَهٗ ] [ ابن ماجہ، الزھد، باب ذکر الذنوب : ۴۲۵۰، عن أبي عبد اللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ و حسنہ الألباني ] "One who repents from sin is like one who has no sin."

[56]
One Who Abandons Prayer Does Not Remain a Believer Unless He Repents:

From these words, it is also understood that one who neglects prayers and follows his desires does not remain a believer. Among such sinners, whoever turns to Allah, repents, does not commit that act again in the future, but instead performs righteous deeds, then the previous sins of such people will be completely forgiven. However, they will be given the full reward for their previous good deeds, and it is mentioned in the hadith that whoever repents is like one who has never committed that sin.
