Should I repent anyway?

You don't have to repent as this is waswasa from shaitan. Once you had a thought seek refuge from Allah against shaitan and make any kind of dhikr.

And avoid remembering it and move on because shaitan wants you to stop and think and repent, one time you will be convinced by it and you will not repent

so move on and don't even think about it

You should not feel guilty because if you give waswasa more than what it deserves it will increase and after a while you will give up repenting as you will feel that every time you repent you have the same thought. And this is what shaitan wants

Waswasa may come in prayer or wudu' or any worship and its remedy is to ignore it

It is important that you ignore it. Don't think about it. Clear your mind. Make Dhikr. Focus on Allaah Ta`aalaa. Don't give any attention to Shaytaani Wasaawis. If Shaytaan sees that he is troubling you, it would only encourage him. Don't give him that.

Recite Ta`awwudh (A`oodhu Billaahi Minash Shaytaanir Rajeem) ten times every morning and every evening.

Try to stay with Wudhoo at all times. I mentioned this in another post, but I'm mentioning it here again: Wudhoo is the shield of the Mu'min against Shaytaan. A person who stays with Wudhoo at all times enjoys special protection from Allaah Ta`aalaa. Shaytaan has no power against such a person. So try to be with Wudhoo at all times and when going to bed. Another very important thing is that you should try never to be for a long time in a state of Janaabah (major impurity).

Work on attaining Khushoo` and Khudhoo` in Salaah. If you are able to clear your mind and focus on Allaah Ta`aalaa Alone during your Salaah, you will be able to do so at all times, In Shaa Allaah.

I thought since this is about waswass I'd like to sneak in. So here goes:

I've some other variants in waswass, particularily about shirk, I know major shirk is worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah, but whenever I try to enforce that and affirm that what the Qur'an says, the waswass don't go away.

So should I just ignore this too, because how I understand it from your post, is that I am only strengthening the waswass by overthinking on shirk and Tawheed.

I get the urge to constantly affirm my rejection on shirk, my belief in Tawheed and Qur'an.

may Allah cure me and all of us, and reward us with His love. Ameen.

And Allah knows best.

Repent to Allah from the sins you know, from the sins you don't know, and from the sins you forgot, and do your best to walk along Allah's straight and noble path.

You believe in the Tawheed of Allaah Ta`aalaa, akhi. You know that there is only One Allaah; that's what's important. To trouble you, Shaytaan will try to put doubts and stray thoughts into your mind; just ignore them. Make Du`aa that Allaah Ta`aalaa keeps you with Imaan and `Aafiyat (Safety), Aameen. Make Du`aa that Allaah Ta`aalaa lets you live with Imaan and die with Imaan.

May Allaah Ta`aalaa grant that to all of us.

آمين يا رب العالمين
