Take comfort in the fact that Allah SWT forgives but not only that He knows that you're going to commit the same sin again and despite that He still forgives you. Only the Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem is capable of such mercy.
Prophet Muhammad & Freedom of Religion:
🕋While living in Mecca, he treated the “unbelievers” courteously.
🕍While serving as leader in Medina, he allowed Jews to keep their faith.
🕌While welcoming Christians to Medina, he let them pray in his masjid.
⭐️Exemplary leadership.
Too often we hear about these dichotomies:
Islam vs. Christianity, Muhammad vs. Jesus, & the Qur’an vs. the Bible.
This framing suggests that these entities are incompatible w/ one another.
So let us replace the vs. w/ “AND.” The “AND” helps us to see our interconnectedness.

Prophet Muhammad’s love of humanity in two quotes:
1). “Kindness is a mark of faith, & whoever is not kind has no faith.”
2). “Try to pass your mornings & evenings in a state where your heart is free from all ill-feelings, jealousy & hatred for everyone.”
Remember these words.
Ours is a globalized world. Climate change affects us all; no one can hide from it. The global economy means we need to think of other people as members of one global family. This is why we need humane values based on common sense and common experience in our education systems.
