Also, there’s surah that Allah Almighty also says in Quran (Verse 14:34) “He gave you whatsoever you asked. If you try to count the favors of God you will not be able to calculate. Man is most unjust indeed, full of ingratitude”
From the surahs above that said every human being must have done of sins that are forbidden by Allah SWT but don’t worry every sin that we have did, though countless as the sea. Allah will forgive much of every sin that we did. As long as we want to repent and promise to not did it again (that sins) and stay away from His prohibition so that Allah will forgive us

Here the information that you must know about the major of sins that forbidden by Allah Almighty and mercy. Besides, you should check about Quranic Dua for Disease, Qurani Ayat for Rizq, Quran Verses about Love, and Quran Dua for Success
1. Ascribing Associates To Allah, the Highest (Shirk)
The major sins of shirk there was two kind; first, there is another God except for Allah Ta’ala. Allah has created you but you believe others whether it be stone, tree, sun, moon, Prophet, Sheikh, star or others. Allah The Highest, the Almighty says.“(Allah forgiveth not {the sin of} joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this; one who joins other gods Allah hath strayed far, far away {from the right})” (An-Nisa:116) Second, the other shirk is ostentation. Allah, the Highest says. “Whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteous and in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.” (Al-Kahf:110)
2. Killing Human Being
Allah the Almighty says in Quran that “If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (for ever); and the wrath and curse of Allah are upon him and a dreadful chastisement is prepared for him.” (An-Nisa:93)
3. Not Performing Prayers
Allah, the Highest and merciful, says that “ But after them there followed a posterity who missed Prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face destruction, except those who repent and believe and work righteousness.” (Maryam: 59-60)Also, the Prophet said,“The first of one’s works that he shall be called to account for on the Day of Judgment is the Prayer. If he performed it well, he will be prosperous. Otherwise, he will be the loser.”

Humans are not perfect creatures, like angels that created from light and they are innocent. However, humans are also not jinn where they are created from fire, and they always do the sins. Man is a perfect creature of Allah SWT, who they are a leader in the world. They have never escaped from the sin. But, if we make mistakes we should do repentance and always ask for His forgiveness by reading istighfar and reading other surahs and duas also avoiding His prohibitions and promising not to repeat it again.
Allah will give His forgiveness. Allah is The Most Forgiveness and The Most of Will. Do not despair by asking for His forgiveness, read the prayer with sincerity, remembering Allah SWT at all times that is the most important. Allah will certainly forgive us and promise us with His heaven. Aminn. Hopefully, this information can help you all.
