It Is Possible to Avoid Every Sin If you say:
“How is it possible for a person to reach a state where he does not commit even a single minor or major sin?” Then you should know that not only is this possible, it is easy as well, and Allah Almighty specially grants this through His mercy to whomever He wills.
The Blessings of Repentance
By repenting, one of two great blessings will definitely be granted to you:
(1) You will be blessed with the ability to remain steadfast upon true and sincere repentance, or
(2) Your previous sins will be forgiven.
How Great a Blessing True Repentance Is
Hazrat Sayyiduna Ustadh Abu Ishaq Isfarayini رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ was a scholar who practiced upon his knowledge.

Do not become fearless because of the hardness of the heart; rather, continue reflecting upon your condition.

Beware! Never consider any sin insignificant, and do not think of yourself as repentant while persisting in major sins. Reflect upon the words of this poet:
“Never consider even a small sin insignificant, because continuous repetition causes ‘a little’ to become a lot"
The Status of Allah Almighty’s Righteous Servants
“The one who repents still fears for himself, so what do you think should be the condition of the one who does not repent"
