Forced to Swear by Allah and I Lied

Assalamu alaikum everyone. Just to give some background: my mom was telling me off and during it, she asked me about something and I didn’t tell the truth. Then she made me say Wallahi. I was really unsure and I’ve never done it before because I don’t like using Allah’s name lightly, especially since people throw around Wallahi so casually these days. But I was under pressure, felt embarrassed, and didn’t want her to keep scolding me, so I ended up lying and said Wallahi anyway. How can I repent for this?

Brother, the door of repentance is open. Do good deeds, they wipe out bad ones. And don't be too hard on yourself, we all slip. Just hold onto your deen tightly.

Wallahi, I feel you. Salah and istighfar are your best mates now. Don't let shaytan make you think it's unforgivable. But avoid putting yourself in that spot again.

Tough one, akhi. Repent, give some sadaqah if you can, and learn from it. Our parents can push us, but remember Allah's name is sacred. Stay strong next time.

May Allah forgive you. Next time, just stay silent or say you can't swear. I know it's hard with parents, but lying on Allah is serious. Make lots of dua, bro.
