Benefits of Seeking Forgiveness
Dec 13, 2025 12:30 AM

  Do you want to have peace of mind, reassurance, and joy?

  You should ask for the forgiveness of Allah, The Almighty. Allah, The Almighty, Says (what means): {And [saying], "Seek Forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He Will Let you enjoy a good provision} [Quran 11: 3]

  Do you want to have a strong body and be healthy, and be free of diseases and disabilities? Is so, you should ask for the forgiveness of Allah, The Almighty. Allah, The Almighty, Says (what means): {Ask Forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and Increase you in strength [added] to your strength.} [Quran 11: 52]

  Do you want to drive disasters and accidents away and be safe from Fitnah (trials) and afflictions? You should ask for the forgiveness of Allah, The Almighty. Allah, The Almighty, Says (what means): {But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.} [Quran 8: 33]

  Do you want rain in continuing showers, righteous children, lawful money, and expanded sustenance? Then you should ask for the forgiveness of Allah. Allah, The Almighty, Says (what means): {And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He Is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers. And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.} [Quran 71: 10- 12]

  Do you want your sins to be forgiven, your rewards to be increased, and your rank to be elevated? You should ask for the forgiveness of Allah, The Almighty. Allah Says (what means): {And say, 'Relieve us of our burdens.' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will Increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."} [Quran 2: 58]

  Asking for forgiveness is the successful remedy for getting rid of sins. This is why the Prophet ordered us to ask for the forgiveness of Allah, The Almighty, frequently.

  The Prophet said: “O people! Ask for the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him as I ask for the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him one hundred times a day.”

  Allah, The Almighty, is satisfied with the one who asks for His forgiveness as this person acknowledges his sin as if he says, “O Allah! I have made a mistake and I was negligent with Your rights as I wronged myself and the devil tempted me and my soul, which is a persistent enjoiner of evil, betrayed me. I relied on Your mercy, forgiveness, and forbearance. Now, I come to You while repenting and regretting, so forgive me, remove my sins and mistakes as I do not have any other Lord but You. O Allah! Even if my sins are grave, Your Forgiveness is greater and more comprehensive."
