I cannot stop committing zina, I repent but go back to this evil, how can I quit this evil?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.

It is human nature to make mistakes and err.

Allah Ta`ala says in the Qur`an;

Translation; “Human being has been created very weak”

(Suratun Nisaa, Verse 28).

Rasulullah ﷺ has said;

Translation; “All the children of Adam commit sins, the best of those who sin is the one who repents” (Sunan Ibni Majah. Vol 2. Pg 1420)

In another hadith Rasulullah ﷺ has said;

Translation; “A person who repents from a sin is like one who does not have a sin”.

(Sunan Ibni Majah. Vol 2. Pg 1419)

You state that you cannot abstain from committing zina.

Allah Ta`ala says;

Translation; “Allah does not burden a soul except to what it is able” (Sura Baqara, Verse 286)

You should assess your situation. Why can’t you abstain from this sin. Is it the influence of bad company or is it due to looking at inappropriate material?

Assess yourself, what is it that jolt you to commit zina?

If you are of a marriageable age and you have the financial means to get married, then you should get married.

Rasulullah ﷺ said;

Translation;“Whoever has the ability to get married should get married as it is a means of one lowering his gaze and to safeguarding his chastity. Whoever does not have the ability (to get married) should hold firm to fasting as it is a means to curb his desires” (Saheeh Bukhari. Vol 3. Pg 26).

You should also connect yourself to a spiritual guide and seek his guidance on your specific situations.

And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
