Repentance of one who dies with the intention to repent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allah wants to say: If the one who prays 'Isha' dies with the intention to repent, will his repentance be accepted?
The Shaykh:
Intention alone is not sufficient; repentance must be carried out in action. If he intended to repent but died before he was able to act, he is judged by his intention. However, if he was able to act but was lazy until he died, his intention is not sufficient, because he is the one who neglected it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to listen to nasheeds (religious songs), even if they are without the hand drum. If they are accompanied by the hand drum, that is another evil. You must stay away from them. People have been led astray by these nasheeds; they have been ruined by them. Who brought them to us? It was the partisan groups or the Sufis who brought them to us. We must leave them and stay away from them. Yes.
