My sins are very grave: is the prayer of repentance alone enough?

I have read the articles relating to Salatul Tauba but I feel my sins are so grave that doing 2 rakats is not enough. Is it possible to repeat 2 rakats salatul Tauba more than once at any point in the day? Or is there something else one should do in beg Allah for His forgiveness? Apart from salatul Tauba and doing istighfar, is there anything I can do gain Allah's pleasure and have my sins removed from me?

 

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate. May His blessings and peace be on His Beloved Prophet, the best of creation, and his family, companions, and followers

 

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

 

The basis of repentance is returning to Allah. Whenever you sincerely leave sins, blameworthy matters, or heedlessness, and turn to Allah penitently, this is repentance Allah loves. Keep good company, and avoid not only past sins, but the things that made you fall into sin in the first place.

 

Along with the answers below, the lessons on www.SunniPath.com in the Clear Paths to the Gardens of the Righteous series deal with repentance in some depth:

And Allah alone gives success.
