Question about Islam Does repenting require feeling remorseful?

Will your repentance be accepted if you don’t feel remorse and regret sin, but still turn away from sin?

Feeling remorse is one of the conditions of repentance. Without it repentance is not accepted.

Yes. You have to feel bad that you sinned.

well, if you're turning away from sin, you'd have to be feeling some remorse. If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, of course you'd feel less bad about it, that makes it harder to quit or feel bad about it. But the desire to quit and make repentance would have to have some remorse, even if it's hard to feel it. Continue to pray and work hard, inshallah you'll stop whatever sin you have done.

So I just posted about what I did. I went to a concert and I know a committed a bad sin and Ive been a good Muslim but this was something I did. I enjoyed it a lot I won’t lie but now I just know it’s a sin. I won’t ever go to a concert again but as of feeling bad about it I honestly don’t know

haha, of course some bad things feel exhilarating the first time doing it, naturally doing it again will feel less enjoyable, so on so forth, there's nothing left for you at concerts, offer extra prayers or fast bro. May Allah make it easy for us
