The Power Of Istighfar.

Assalam alaykum,
In Ayat 3 of Surat Hud (11:3) of the Holy Qur'an, Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, says:--

".......SEEK THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR LORD, AND TURN TO HIM IN
REPENTANCE, THAT HE MAY GRANT YOU GOOD ENJOYMENT, FOR A TERM
APPOINTED...."

The simple, yet important du'a or supplication of ISTIGHFAR ( ie Saying: 'Astaghfirullah--I Seek Forgiveness of Allah) is often forgotten. Some of the virtues and benefits of ISTIGHFAR are:--

Removal of anxiety.
It opens the door of sustenance.
It opens the door of Mercy and Knowledge.
Reciting Astaghfirullah helps us to calm ourselves and wipes out variety of worldly worries
from our mind/body.

And Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:- The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon 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 must be offering... reciting ISTIGHRAR constantly as part of our daily Zikr.
