Peace be upon you. If you mean that you have experienced a setback in your faith and are asking about the way to return to Allah, the brief answer is that since the issue is doctrinal, its correction requires re-engaging your mind and reflecting anew on the evidence presented regarding various doctrinal matters, starting from the concept of monotheism to belief in the afterlife, reward, and punishment. There is no room for detailed discussion here, but you should refer to the relevant doctrinal books that outline the evidence and elaborate on it. They will, God willing, help you piece together what has scattered in your thoughts and repair what has been broken in your faith. This should be complemented by repentance to Allah, along with the necessity of turning away from anything that may cause doubt due to your actions. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you. If the issue is behavioral, such as neglecting obligations or committing prohibitions, then ceasing those actions and mending your relationship with the Creator requires a serious will and decision, along with the intention not to return to those actions, mixed with regret for the past. You will find that Allah is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, who accepts repentance from His servants and loves those who repent. In any case, whether the issue is doctrinal or behavioral, a person is prohibited from despairing or feeling hopeless about Allah's mercy, regardless of the magnitude of the sin. If one is sincere in repentance and reform, Allah will accept them, embrace them, and draw them closer. May you be successful in all that is good.
