Power and Benefits of Istaghfar (Asking Forgiveness)

Many of us forget the importance of a simple but very power full Dua. It is a best Dua and we should ask from Allah all the time for forgiveness. This Dua has so much importance in itself. There are so much importance and benefits of Istagfar (asking forgiveness).

·         To receive forgiveness

The most important benefit of Istaghfar is as a result we receive forgiveness for our all the sins and the bad deeds which we commits. But here the condition is that ask forgiveness whole heartedly. Beg for the mercy and forgiveness from Allah before time is up.

·         Make the strong relationship with Islam

The difference involving someone who's going to be a legitimate believer and the one who is merely a Muslim might be well-defined by simply reciting Astaghfirullah. For the reason that the Astaghfirullah must be recited while talking to many people and it is something that a false or a fake Muslim can have distress carrying out. Moreover, regularly reciting Astaghfirullah in addition reinforces Islamic bonds and tends to make the followers of Islam more inclined to follow along with Allah.

·        A gateway toward happiness and relief

To ask forgiveness is a gateway toward happiness and relief. When we feel or face the situation of stress we should recite as much Istaghfar as possible. As a result you will face the peaceful and happy situation. It is narrated by Hazrat Ibn E Abbas that Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) Said that:-

“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”.

·        The secret of success

It is the secret toward success. The people who ask forgiveness from Allah Almighty get success in this world and in the next world too. In Surah E Nooh it is said that:-

“I said, “Seek forgiveness of your Lord. Surely, he is ever forgiving. He will set loose the heaven upon you in torrents. He will extend you with wealth and sons. He will make for you gardens and will make for you rivers.”

 At another place it is narrated by Hazrat Abdullah Ibn E Abbass that Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-

“The one who (regularly) says Istighfaar, that is, frequently repent to Allah Ta’aala for sins committed, Allah Azza Wa-Jal will open a path from poverty and difficulties. All sorrow and hardship will be removed, and in its place prosperity and contentment granted. One will receive sustenance from unimagined and unexpected sources.”

We should ask forgiveness in every moment of our life. Ask forgiveness before the time is up. O’ Allah we know that we are the sinners but you are the most merciful, One drop of your mercy can remove our all the sins. May Allah forgive us otherwise we will be destroyed in this world and the world hereafter (Ameen).
