Feeling Lost After Major Sins, My Heart Is Dead and I Fear Allah Has Left Me

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I'm writing this because I'm totally lost and at my lowest point. I've done, and still struggle with, many big sins. I've fallen into zina, lying, envy, arrogance, and other small sins. My heart feels completely dead right now. Everything feels like it's closing in on me. My biggest fear is that I think Allah has abandoned me and left me to myself. I messed up so badly. I try to read the Quran, but I can't even understand it or feel any connection. I want to change, but I'm so overwhelmed that I don't know where to begin. Please, can someone give me practical steps on how to return to Allah when you feel this far gone? How do I bring a dead heart back to life? JazakAllah khair.

Allah says, 'Take one step towards me, I will take ten steps towards you.' You don't need to fix everything today. Just do one good deed daily and repent. Also, getting into a routine of morning and evening adhkar can soften the heart gradually.

Check out the story of the man who killed 99 people but was forgiven because he took one step toward Allah. Never think your sins are too big. Just turn to Him, sincerely, even if your heart feels cold. Keep making dua even if you feel nothing.

I've been where you are. Took me years to come back. What helped me was leaving bad environment and people, and forcing myself to go to the mosque for Fajr. The darkness doesn't lift overnight, but it lifts. Keep pushing.
