رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ.
Rabbana zalamnaaa an-fusana wa il-lam tagfir lana wa tarhamna lana koonanna minal-khasireen

Some key points to be learned from the Story of Adam( AS)

2.Its never too late for repentance as long as one is alife one must hasten to seek forgiveness and repent from one’s sins and misdeeds. For Allah is the oft-forgiving, the most merciful as long as we seek His forgiveness. One should never feel hopeless thinking that it’s too late to seek forgiveness of the Lord. Rather it is one who sins and no longer fears Allah that should be most worried.

If you do not commit sins, Allah would replace you with a people who would commit sins and seek forgiveness from Allah; and Allah will certainly forgive them. “Riyad as-Salihin 1871
In seeking sincere forgiveness and repentance one must adhere to these conditions,

Allah says,” O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.” (At-Tahrim 66:8)
