Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness of Allah) ! People often forget the importance of the simple yet powerful dua (supplication) – Istighfar i.e., saying “Astaghfirullah” (I seek forgiveness of Allah). Prophet Muhammad (sallahu alaihi wa sallam) recited this at least 100 times a day. Let us see the benefits and virtues of reciting this simple beautiful supplication in sha Allah. > Istighfar (Astaghfirullah) is the gateway of relief and happiness. > Whenever you are in distress start reciting it and In sha Allah it will take you out of your anxiety and will put you in a peaceful situation and will give you happiness. > Istighfar removes anxiety and duas are answered. > Istighfar opens the door of sustenance. > Istighfar opens the door of mercy. > Istighfar opens the door of knowledge. > Istighfar is also gateway of productivity. > Istighfar relieves you. When you feel that sadness within you, when you are disturbed and frustrated, when anxiety surrounds you, say “Astaghfirullah” “Astaghfirullah”… > Reciting Astaghfirullah is an effective method of calming our self and wipes away the variety of worldly worries from our mind and body. It may also help us, if we are suffering from depression, it calm us and lessen our depression. > Astaghfirullah also helps us to refrain from all forms of sins. > Regularly saying this reminds us that Allah(subhanahuwa taala) is everywhere and in this way there is very small chances of doing wrongful actions. Ibn Abbas (radhi Allahu anhu) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah(subhanahuwa taala) 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].Riyad as-Salihin Book 20, Hadith 1873. The doors of repentance are always open for us therefore don’t delay your repentance in a hope of tomorrow, as tomorrow is uncertain , Repent now and make it a habit to ask Allah’s forgiveness by reciting “Astaghfirullah”. Say I believe in Allah’s mercy, I have sinned, I have gone astray, I have been negligent, but still I believe in Allah’s(subhanahu wa taala) soothing mercy and forgiveness, I’ll not despair!
