Do whatever little effort you can. Some effort is better than no effort

 He is a sinner!

Do whatever little effort you can. Some effort is better than no effort. Some practice is better than no practice. Do whatever you can. No matter how many sins you have committed in the past, it does not matter dear Muslim.

He is a sinner!

No matter what kind of sin you have, don't despair. Return to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Do something to benefit people. Worship Allah as much as possible. Strive to be close to Him. Raise your hands and beg forgiveness from Allah.

O sinner!

You need some reward more than a pious person. O sinner! You need a good job much more than a muttaqi. How the devil can deceive you!

If you can't get out of an addiction, sponsor not just one, but ten orphans if you can. Go for Umrah as often as possible. Ask Allah for forgiveness. Read Tahajjud. If you drink alcohol that night, ask Allah for forgiveness.

Because, try to understand. You are a sinner. You need Allah's forgiveness more than a Muttaki.

The ideal condition is that all poets abstain from sin. Yes, the ideal state is to have no habitual sins. And that is the condition of the righteous. Virtuous, awliya, ambiya poets do not sin. And they have no habitual sins.

But, if you are not able to reach that state, if you have habitual sins, if you have a habit of committing sins — don't accept yourself as a failure by abandoning all religious activities. Nevertheless, try; Keep trying to get better. Talk to God with a repentant heart. Raise your hands and confess your sins to Allah. Always ask Allah for forgiveness. No matter what sin you commit.

Use sins to inspire you to do good deeds that you wouldn't normally do. Try to understand, if you can do it there is still hope for you.

First fix the daily prayers. This is a major issue. It has to be fixed. Then...you can add it to other better jobs, zikir.

The best Zikirs are four. Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar. Be grateful to Allah by doing these four dhikrs. In every breath of your life, in every step, in every free moment, keep saying these Zikir-Azkars. If you want to add more to this, say, La hawla wala kuwata illa billah, astaghfirullah, rabbana atina fid duniya hasanatao wa fil akhirat hasana wa kina azaban nar. Keep doing different duas like this. Then, your whole day will be full of remembrance of Allah.

And one of the most powerful ways to escape from Allah's punishment is this zikr. Our Prophet (PBUH) said - a hadith of Imam Ahmad in Musnad - "Nothing will save people from Hellfire more than the remembrance of Allah." In other words, the dhikr of Allah will save people the most from hell.
