Does Allah Allow Sins? My Struggle

As-salamu alaykum, brothers and sisters. So, I've been thinking... does Allah make us sin so that we come back to Him? Like, I keep messing up, then I repent sincerely, and I really try to stop, but then I fall into the same sin again. It's a cycle. But I never despair in Allah's mercy because that's what He tells us in the Qur'an-He forgives all sins. Is it wrong that I always have this certainty that Allah will forgive me, even though I keep slipping? I'm worried maybe I'm taking His mercy for granted. Jazakum Allahu khayran for any advice.

Wa alaykum salam. The worry itself shows iman. If you were taking it for granted, you wouldn't care. Just don't stop fighting the nafs.

As long as you're sincere in tawbah and actually try to stop, you're good. Allah loves those who repent. But be careful-don't let the certainty of forgiveness become a free pass, ya feel me?

Bro, I feel you. It's not that Allah makes us sin, but He knows we will. The struggle is part of being human. Keep repenting, that's the key. Don't let shaytan make you think you're taking mercy for granted.
