The Power of Istighfar (Seeking Allah's Forgiveness) to Muslims That They Have Been Ignoring

Istighfar i.e Astaghfirullah which is seeking Allah's forgiveness is a simple du'a (supplication, remembrance, prayers) yet overlooked by many members of the Muslim Ummah.

Astaghfirullah (I seek Allah's forgiveness) is a powerful du'a encouraged by our beloved and noble Prophet Muhammad (May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him). The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said this supplication at least seventy (70) to hundred (100) times a day. It is simple and yet powerful, it wipes your stress about life, anxiety, fear of the unknown, it's a gateway to happiness etc.

According to a an Hadith the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) said: “The one who seeks forgiveness among Muslim males and females from Allah Ta’aala twenty six or twenty five times every day, Allah Ta’ala will count that person among those whose Du’a (prayers and supplications) is accepted, and through the barakah (blessings) of whom those on earth gain Rizq (sustenance).”

Istighfar relieves you when you feel that sadness within you, when you are disturbed and frustrated, when anxiety surrounds you, say “Astaghfirullah” “Astaghfirullah". Reciting Astaghfiruallah is an effective method of calming ourselves and wiping away the different and various worldly worries from our mind and body. 

Benefits and Powers of Istighfar (Astahhfirullah):

1. You Du'a (prayers, supplications) are easily answered by Allah Subhanahu wata ala;

2. It is a gateway to more sustenance;

3. It is a gateway to knowledge;

4. Elimination of anxiety and depression;

5. It opens the door of mercies and blessings;

6. Repentance for your sins; and

7. It increase your productivity.

There is no time I continue saying Astaghfirullah (I seek Allah's forgiveness) repeatedly without Allah providing me a means of sustenance from unexpected sources with little effort.

Therefore, if you have not been doing this as a Muslim today I am encouraging you to that and if you have been doing it keep it up.

ASTAGHFIRULLAH! ASTAGHFIRULLAH! ASTAGHFIRULLAH!
