Every morning, when you wake up, make a pledge with Allah Almighty that:
إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَلَمِينَ
My Salah, my worship, my living, and my dying is for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds
Then say: O Allah, I pledge to you that I will not commit any sins, and this is not possible without Your guidance and support, so grant me the ability for this.
Then in the evening before sleeping, undertake ‘Muhasabah’ (recollection of days actions) and reflect on the actions and shortcomings of the day and say: O Allah, I made a pledge with you this morning and also made dua to you, but I made so and so error and committed so and so sin, so I repent and seek Your forgiveness, please accept my repentance. I renew my resolution to obey you, and pray again to give me strength to abide by it.
So, two minutes in the morning and two minutes in the evening, try this every day without a miss and you will experience the benefits Insha Allah. Allah Almighty will grant you the ability to stay away from the outer and inner sins.
