Delaying Repentance And Arrogance
Are Delaying repentance and sarkashi the same thing?.
Like, If one delay repentance but does so later in his life , he is expected to be forgiven by the intercession of the prophets.
Wheareas if one keeps committing major sins then it is a sarkash attitude which is unforgivable.
So aren’t sarkashi and delaying repentance the same thing?. Cause delaying repentance also means to continue the same behaviour but again delaying repentence is forgivable wheras sarkashi is not.
I am unable to understand.

Comment of Dr Shehzad Saleem in Saintly Sinners article may help
Sinning continuously, at times, takes us deeper into sin and reduces our inclination to seek forgiveness. If we continue to sin after repeated repentance, we are overcome with frustration and hopelessness. We think that since we are so incorrigible and return to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree in spite of frequent bouts of repentance, how can God forgive such a habitual sinner? It may be worthwhile to note that instilling hopelessness in us is one of the greatest weapons of Satan. In Arabic, his name is Iblis which means one who has eternally lost hope. Hence, he wants to make all his targets lose hope like him. It is here that we need to stand up after every fall and take hold of ourselves after every transgression. We must never lose hope in God’s mercy even if we sin persistently. The above verse of the Qur’an says that every time a person repents after being overwhelmed by emotions, God will forgive him. It does not say that this clemency of God is not for persistent sinners.
