Navigating Faith While Fearing Major Sins

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I've been reflecting deeply on my relationship with Allah, and I keep wondering something: Is it still possible for me to consider myself a Muslim if I'm genuinely afraid I might end up committing some very serious sins? I know that falling into major wrongdoings is a huge deal, and it scares me. I'm trying to strengthen my faith and do better, but this worry about potentially slipping up really weighs on my heart sometimes. Does anyone else feel this way, or have any advice based on our deen?

Yes, feel this often. Key is to focus on today's salah and good actions. Trust in Allah's mercy, one step at a time.

Bro, the Prophet (SAW) said Allah is more merciful than a mother to her child. Repentance is always open. Your worry shows you care.

The fact you're scared means your iman is alive, bro. That fear protects you. Just keep making dua and trying your best.

We all have this fear. It's a sign of a healthy heart. Keep busy with good deeds, and ask Allah for steadfastness.

Fear of sin is better than being careless about it. You're on the right track, just don't let the worry paralyze you.
