| Subject: The Power Of Istighfar. Sun Apr 13, 2014 12:14 am | |
| Peace to you all,
We often forget the importance of the simple yet powerful du'a/supplication of ISTIGHFAR, ie reciting and/or saying "ASTAGHFIRULLAH" ( I seek forgiveness of Allah). Some of the virtues and benefits of Istighfar are:--
1. It removes anxiety and du'as are answered.
2. Istighfar opens the door of Sustenance, Mercy and Knowledge.
3. Reciting Istighfar helps us to calm ourselves and wipes out variety of worldly worries from our mind/body.
Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless and greet him, said:-- "IF ANYONE CONSTANTLY SEEKS PARDON (from Allah), ALLAH WILL APPOINT FOR HIM A WAY OUT OF EVERY DISTRESS AND A RELIEF FROM EVERY ANXIETY, AND WILL PROVIDE SUSTENANCE FOR HIM FROM WHERE HE EXPECTS NOT". [Abu Dawud].
In view of the above, we should include the recital of lots of Istighfar [the saying of 'ASTAGHFIRULLAH' (at least 100 times or more) daily in our Zikr, when we come to Remember Allah in the Mornings and Evenings. | |
