Ibnul
Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله said:
”…And we shall
mention some things related to repentance (tawbah) that are very necessary (to
grasp), and it is NOT befitting that
someone be ignorant of them.
From them: Immediate repentance is obligatory after
committing a sin. It is NOT
permissible to delay it. Whenever someone delays it, he has committed (another) sin by
delaying it. In this case, when he repents from the sin
(itself), another act of repentance remains a duty upon him – that he must repent for
delaying his repentance! This is
something that rarely comes to mind when someone repents. Instead, he may
assume that since he has repented from the sin, that there is nothing else left
to do, while
there remains upon him the duty to repent from delaying his repentance…”
