Belief that repentance is an obligation is obligatory, repentance from sins is an obligation Allah Lofty and Sublime said:
‘And turn to Allah all of you, Oh believers so that you may be successful.’ (An-Noor Verse 31)
And He said:
‘O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your sins’ (At-Tahrim Verse 8)
And He said:
‘And whosoever does not repent then they are from the Dhalimoon(wrongdoers etc)’ (Al-Hujraat Verse 11)
Therefore it is obligatory for the Muslim to repent from his sins and from his evil deeds and it is obligatory that he does not continue upon them or commence upon them or that he is negligent with regards to sins, and he says; ‘this is easy’
Do not be negligent with it for it is from the sins, rather hasten with repentance.
The Most High said:
‘And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins; – and none can forgive sins but Allah – And do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.
For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allah’s Orders).’ Aal Imraan (Verses 135-136)
Allah commended them and promised them (those who repent)
He said:
‘’Allah accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allah will forgive and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: “Now I repent;” (An-Nisaa Verse 17-18)
When death arrives the repentance is not accepted and if mankind continues to live then his repentance in the presence of death is (furthermore) not accepted, so upon him is to rush to make repentance and not to delay it. As soon as he commits a sin he repents to Allah immediately.
Man is not infallible and errors occur from him, shortcomings occur from him, sins occur from him; however Allah Lofty and Sublime by way of his mercy has opened the door of repentance. He has opened for you the door of repentance and he calls you to it and he has promised you that He will forgive you if you are truthful in your repentance. So much so that if a disbeliever repents to Allah; Allah forgives him (the sin of) disbelief, Shirk, the killing of people and other than that. If he repents to Allah He will forgive him. He said:
‘Say to those who have disbelieved if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven’ (Al-Anfaal Verse 38)
And in the Hadith:
‘Repentance nullifies that which came before it’ (1)
Therefore the Muslim needs to repent, the Messenger [sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam] use to seek forgiveness and repent to Allah more than a hundred times a day.
He [sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam] said:
‘Oh People! Repent to Allah, verily I repent more than seventy times a day’ (Bukhaari)
His companions (radiallaahu anhum) enumerated that in the gatherings he (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) would say more than a hundred times:
‘I seek Allah’s forgiveness,I seek Allah’s forgiveness’ (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
And he was the Messenger of Allah he (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam)!
So how about other than him?!
Therefore we need to repent to Allah the Lofty and Sublime, Man is not infallible sins occur from him, shortcomings occur from him, and mistakes occur from him, so he needs to repent.
And all the praises belong to Allah that He has opened the door of repentance for us and He has promised that He will accept (our repentance) and wipe away our sins.
(1) This Hadith is reported in silsilah da’eefah of Shaykh Al-Albaani however there are several other Hadith with similar meaning such as :
‘’The one who repents from sins is like the one who has no sin’ Ibn Majah Declared Hasan by Shaykh Al Albaani

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Firstly: The Salafiyyoon have witnessed the fact that Abu Usaama is a foul mouthed bid’ee and they have not allowed him to drag them to his level. The one with truth is not in need of such filth; rather such behaviour is a clear manifestation and expression of his weak intellect. He is a very frustrated bid’ee because whenever he attempts deceit, the Salafiyyoon expose him. Therefore, unless he starts accepting responsibility for his actions and sincerely accepts the fact that every single valid criticism against him is due to his actions, it will prove very difficult to repel that big ego by way which shaytaan makes him feel safe behind a wall of lies.
Secondly: Besides the fact that he is a foul mouthed bid’ee, he also goes into extremes in seeking to prove himself trustworthy, even though deception is his second skin. So whilst attempting to prove his trustworthiness, Abu Usaamah invokes the curse of Allaah against himself and his children! In 2004, he made an invocation that if he is lying, may Allaah curse him and his children, and cause them to die outside the fold of Islaam. He uttered this statement whilst seeking to make recantations (as he claimed); but since then his affair has become worse; for at present he openly cooperates with the worst of the hizbiyyoon – Ihyaa at- Turaath, Greenlane Masjid and their allies at al-Maghrib Institute.
So all that drama in 2004 to prove his truthfulness has shown no truthful actions regarding his stance towards the Mubtadi Al-Maribi, rather he has only increased in transgression- from finding excuses for the Ikhwani Mubtadi Al-Maribi, to finding excuses for the Murji Mubtadi Ali Al-Halabi and cooperating with the innovators of Ihyaa at-Turaath. This is his state of affairs in 2016 after invoking the curse of Allaah against himself and his children in 2004.
However, it is manifestly clear that he has not learnt a lesson, for recently he invoked the same curse again. He is solely responsible for his own deeds; so why include his children in such evil! He was the one who chose to defend Mubtadi’ah and was refuted, so why not take the responsibility on his own?
Thirdly: Do we see the scholars -[Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen, Shaikh Albaani, Shaikh Fawzaan, Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Abdul Muhsin, Shaikh Abdul Azeez Aala Shaikh, Shaikh Luhaydaan, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi and others]- behaving in this manner?! No indeed!
Finally: Perhaps Abu Usaamah is so overwhelmed by his bidah that he is extremely oblivious of the evil he invokes against his children in order to prove the unprovable. We thought that by now his unsuspecting followers would have realised the foolishness of this man. Indeed, he is not absolved of accountability, unless it is known that he is mentally unstable. His desperate attempts at enforcing his rejection of the truth by invoking curses against his children will neither solve his problems nor cancel the unambiguous proofs against him. How foolish, idiotic, short-sighted and evil of a man who knows that he is upon falsehood and is an established liar, yet he invokes the curse of Allaah against his children in order to prove his fraudulent stances. He should solely bear the burden of his crimes. We ask Allaah to protect his children. Aameen.
Have you seen if a man was afflicted with severe hunger and delicious food was placed in his hands and he extended his hands (to his mouth) to eat from the food; then it was said to him: “indeed it is poisoned, if you eat from it, it will harm you or destroy you”, will he place his hands in it (eat it) or will he refrain?
Subhaanallah!!
How can a person stay far away from (poisoned) food, fearing it’s harm!! And he doesn’t stay away from sins fearful of their punishment!!
May Allah guide us –

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah ( rahimahullah ) said:
When it is the case that the (true) followers of the Prophets are people of knowledge and justice, then the speech of the people of Islaam and the Sunnah about the disbelievers and people of bidah is (carried out) with knowledge and justice and not with conjecture and the soul’s desire. And due to this, the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi wasallam) said: Judges are of three types, one of whom will go to Paradise and two to Hell. A man who knows the truth and judges with it will enter paradise; a man who knows the truth but judges with the opposite of it will enter the fire, and a man who judges for the people based on ignorance will enter the fire.’’ [Reported by Imaam Abu Dawud and others]
And when it is the case that the one who judges between the people in (affairs) of wealth, blood (i.e. murder cases, injury etc.) and honour will enter the hell fire if he is not a just scholar, then what about the one who passes judgements without knowledge-such being the case with ahlul bidah-on religions, the Usool of Imaan, affairs of knowledge related to Allaah, His Names, Attributes and Actions, and the lofty affairs of knowledge.’’

[Al-Jawaabus Saheeh 1/107-108]
Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) said:
Unfortunately there are a people who conceal refutations (directed at) the people of falsehood and error. They are excited to ally with them and defend them, whilst they are harsh and disapproving towards those who refute falsehood and error. They betray them (i.e. those who refute error) with a severe betrayal and they make people think (by way of delusion) that this (deed of theirs is tantamount to) softness and wisdom, whilst it is from the severest types of calamity and trials-the (very) affair that emboldens the people of falsehood to persist in their falsehood and spread their trials and tribulations worldwide. If only this type of (people) realised the dangerous end results of their stances, (so) we ask Allaah to (grant) them guidance and clear-sightedness and to realise their obligation with regards to aiding the Dawah of Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and not fearing the blame of the blamers. [Source: Bayaan Maa Fee Naseehati Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhaylee Minal Khalal Wal-ikhlaal: page 26]
The Shaikh (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
*If you do (or revive) a deed (i.e. a deed that is established in the Islamic legislation by way of proof) which was forgotten (or abandoned) by the people, then indeed you have started (or restarted) a good Sunnah for them.
*As for innovating something (i.e. religious beliefs and practices) in the religion which are not to be found in it, then this is bidah about which the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’Whoever innovates in this affair of ours that which is not from it will have it rejected.’’
Allaah (The Most High) said:
[أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاء شَرَعُوا لَهُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ -Or have they partners with Allah (false gods), who have instituted for them a religion which Allah has not allowed] [42:21]
*If this (Mawlid) was something good, the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and the Sahaabah would have preceeded us to it.
Indeed, the companions knew the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and they loved him more than us, but many of us (i.e. those who celebrate Mawlid) unfortunately do not know him (i.e. his authentic Sunnah and his ways) except by way of this (Mawlid). As for the Sahaabah, they (radiyallaahu-anhum) knew his every moment; they spent their wealth to aid Allaah’s (The Mighty and Majestic) religion and to raise Allaah’s Word (i.e. Laa ilaaha ilal-laah). They demonstrated their love for the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) through their belief in him, followed him, sacrificed their lives and their wealth to aid his religion.
*As for these ones (i.e. those heads of misguidance who call the people to celebrate the Mawlid), they say that they love the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and they initiate these Mawlids because it includes devouring the wealth of the people by way of falsehood, and they commit shirk, fictitious deeds and misguidance in these Mawlids (i.e. the practices of the extreme soofiyyah). Is this the religion of Allaah? Is the one who initiated this to be praised?
*Those who first initiated this Mawlid were the Baatiniyyoon-the enemies of Allaah and His Messenger, and enemies of the religion of Islaam. They brought this filthy innovation, which is now defended by a people who claim that they are from Ahlus Sunnah, whilst unfortunately they are from the people of misguidance.

May Allaah guide these people Aameen
Abu Moosaa Muhammad Ibnul Muthannaa (rahimahullaah) said:
We used to read to a blind Shaikh, so when the (innovated) speech about the Qur’aan being created occurred in Baghdad the Shaikh said: ”If the Qur’aan is not created, then may the Qur’aan be wiped off my heart (i.e. from my memory).” He (Abu Moosaa) said: When we heard this speech of his, we abandoned him and turned away from him. After some time period we met him and said to him: ”O such and such, what did the Qur’aan do?” He said: ”Nothing of it remains in my chest (i.e. in my memory).” We said: ”Not even قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ?” He said: ”Not even قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ except when I hear it being recited by someone else.”

There was neither story telling in the time of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) nor in the time of Abu Bakr (radiyallaahu-anhu), neither in the time of Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) nor in the time of Uthmaan (radiyallaahu-anhu); rather story telling started in the time of Fitan.” (i.e. during the times of trials and tribulations).
