Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said:

“Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah, therefor take the straight path unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,” (41:6)

And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),
0:33
that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
0:37
"When a servant commits a sin, a black spot is etched onto his heart.
0:44
But if he desists, seeks forgiveness, and repents,
0:47
his heart is polished clean.
0:49
Yet if he returns to sin, it increases until it envelops his heart.
0:54
And that is the rust which Allah mentioned:
0:57
'No! Rather, the stain has covered [their hearts]...'"
0:59
“Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.” (83:14)

A Point of Benefit:
1:08
On the authority of 'Asim Ibn Raja' Ibn Haywah, who said:
1:11
'Umar Ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz used to deliver sermons saying:
1:15
"O people!
1:17
Whoever falls into a sin,
1:19
let him seek Allah's forgiveness and repent.
1:21
If he repeats it,
1:23
let him seek Allah's forgiveness and repent.
1:26
If he repeats it again,
1:27
let him seek Allah's forgiveness and repent.
1:30
For they are merely sins bound around the necks of men,
1:35
and utter ruin lies only in persisting in them."
