In summary, we should repent from all our sins, lest it be the case that this night of repentance being accepted passes and we are still unable to be forgiven and have Allah become pleased with us. So, repent from now, because Allah promises to accept the repentance of His servants as He mentioned in the Quran. He says in verse 39 of Sūrat al-Māidah:

فَمَنۡ تَابَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ظُلۡمِہٖ وَ اَصۡلَحَ  فَاِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَتُوۡبُ عَلَیۡہِ ؕ     اِنَّ اللّٰہَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِیۡمٌ (۳۹)

Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: Thus, the one who repents after his transgression and reforms himself; so, Allah shall pardon him with His mercy; indeed, Allah is most forgiving, most merciful.^[1]

In the commentary of this verse, the following is mentioned in Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān: “Repentance is a very lofty and excellent thing.  No matter how big the sin is, if one repents from it, Allah will forgive His rights and free the one who repents from punishment in the hereafter.”^[2]
