Conviction Practice Conduct
Faith without obedience is meaningless; and obedience without Faith is
mere rituals and may even lead to hypocrisy.
Together, Faith and Obedience must lead to Righteousness with IHSAN
which essentially focus in our intention to sincerely serve Allah s.w.t.
Thus, in these three aspects can one be said to be true in his submission
to the Will of Allah (as Muslim).

TO PROCEED

ISTIGHFAR


• After TAUBAT (Repentance), our Adab towards Allah is ISTIGHFAR
(Seeking the forgiveness of Allah).
• This reminds us that seeking Allah’s forgiveness must constantly
be done – not occasionally. Those who strive for TAQWA must
become aware of his own shortcomings, ever aware of the deception
by our NAFS (Self) and of mankind’s avowed enemy, satan.
• The SUNNAH already include the ISTIGHFAR to be invoked in many
instances in our daily life.
• With ISTIGHFAR, we seek to eradicate our arrogance, obstinacy
and conceit, for it requires introspection of our own Self and depth of
all our inner-secrets.

group.

we learnt?”
place, etc) where ISTIGHFAR is recited.
• It would even be better if you can quote the
actual SUNNAH recitations, which has ISTIGHFAR.

Defined as : “To submit with humility, one’s self, heart and thoughts
towards Allah while seeking His forgiveness for one’s sins and
error.”

Therefore it is not merely the verbalizing of the Arabic phrase:

But must be accompanied with awareness, the sincere and honest
admission accompanied with remorse, shame and regret for the
wrong done; having the fear of Allah’s punishment but tampered
with Hope of His Mercy and promise of forgiveness. It is linked to
our knowledge (‘ILM) as well as Faith (IIMAN).


The two (Adam and Hawa) replied: "O our Sustainer!
We have sinned against ourselves -and unless Thou
grant us forgiveness and bestow Thy mercy upon us,
we shall most certainly be lost!“
(Qur’an: A’-raf: 7: 23)


“Verily, when a believer commits a sin, a dark spot will
begin to stain his heart. And when he repents, and
ceases from committing it, and seek forgiveness, then
his heart will be cleanse from the black stain. But if he
increases in sinning, then so will the black stain
increases, until it covers his entire heart. This then is
the ‘corrosion’ which Allah reminded in His Book:
“Nay, but their hearts are corroded (Q: 83: 14)”
(Hadith reported by Ibnu Majah and Tirmidzi)


Say [O Prophet]: "If you love Allah, follow me, [and]
Allah will love you and (YAGHFIRU) forgive you your
sins; for Allah is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.“
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 31)


“Hence, remain thou patient in adversity - for, verily,
Allah’s promise always comes true - and (ISTIGHFAR)
ask forgiveness for thy sins, and extol thy Sustainer’s
glory and praise by night and by day.”
(Qur’an: Ghafir: 40: 55)


Say: "Shall I tell you of better things than those [earthly
joys]? For those having the TAQWA (consciousness and
fear Allah’s wrath) there are, with their Sustainer,
gardens through which running waters flow, therein to
abide, and spouses pure, and Allah's goodly
acceptance." And Allah sees all that is in [the hearts of]
His servants”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 15)


Those who say, "O our Sustainer! Behold, we believe
[in Thee]; forgive us, then, our sins, and keep us safe
from suffering through the fire" -: those who are
patient in adversity, and true to their word, and truly
devout, and who spend [in Allah's way], and pray for
forgiveness from their innermost hearts.”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 16-17)


"O our Sustainer! Thou hast not created [aught of] this
without meaning and purpose. Limitless art Thou in Thy
glory! Keep us safe, then, from suffering through fire!
"O our Sustainer! Whomsoever Thou shalt commit to
the fire, him, verily, wilt Thou have brought to disgrace
[in this world]; and such evildoers will have none to
succour them. “


"O our Sustainer! Behold, we heard a voice call [us] unto
faith, `Believe in your Sustainer!' - and so we came to believe.
O our Sustainer! Forgive us, then, our sins, and efface our bad
deeds; and let us die the death of the truly virtuous! “
And, O our Sustainer, grant us that which Thou hast promised
us through Thy messengers, and disgrace us not on
Resurrection Day! Verily, Thou never failest to fulfil Thy
promise!"”


"Partake of the good things which We have provided
for you as sustenance, but do not transgress therein
the bounds of equity lest My condemnation fall upon
you: for, he upon whom My condemnation falls has
indeed thrown himself into utter ruin! Yet withal,
behold, I forgive all sins unto any who repents and
attains to faith and does righteous deeds, and
thereafter keeps to the right path.”
(Qur’an: TaHa: 20: 81-82)


Allahumma inni Asaluka ya Allahu bi an-nakal Waa-hidul -
Ahadus-Swo-madul-ladzi, lam ya-lid wa lam yuu-lad, wa
lam yakullahu kufuwan Ahad, an tagh-fi-ra-li dzu-nuu-bi –
in-naka antal-gha-fuur-rur- Rahim


O Allah! I ask You, O Allah, You are ‘the One, the Only,
the Absolute and Eternal (Self Sufficient Master),
Who does not beget nor was begotten and
none is equal to Him’
Forgive me my sins, surely you are Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful

(Hadith reported by Abu Dawud, an Nasa'i, ibn Majah, Tirmidzi)


Allahummaj- ‘al-nee minal-ladzii-na –
idzaa – Ah-sanus–tab-sharu
wa – idzaa – asa -’us – tagh-faruu

O Allah! make me among those who, when they commit an act of
virtue, rejoice; and when they commit a mistake, seek forgiveness

(Hadith reported by Ibn Majah)


“Ask your Sustainer to forgive you your sins, and then
turn towards Him in repentance - [whereupon] He will
grant you a goodly enjoyment of life [in this world]
until a term set [by Him is fulfilled]; and [in the life to
come] He will bestow upon everyone possessed of
merit [a full reward for] his merit. But if you turn away,
then, verily, I dread for you the suffering [which is
bound to befall you] on that awesome Day.”
(Qur’an: Hud: 11: 3)


“Whoever invoke much ISTIGHFAR (seeking from Allah,
forgiveness) , Allah will grant him relief from every
difficulty, expand for him every constrained, and provide
RIZQ (means of livelihood) from unexpected sources.”
(Hadith reported by Abu Daud)


“Verily Allah will raise the ranks of His servant to a high degree in
Paradise that he will ask from Allah, ‘O Lord, from where (how)
was I given this?. Then Allah will say: This rank (is given) due to
ISTIGHFAR -the seeking of forgiveness made for you by your
children.”
(Hadith reported by Ahmad)

(as well as) against them who are Your creations.
Therefore as to the sins committed towards You I beg
Forgiveness from You; and as to the sins I committed
towards Your creations, I beseech You to be my
Guarantor on my behalf (against their claims).
And enrich me (with merits) from Your Mercy, O (Allah,
You are) Most Merciful of those who show Mercy.”


“O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be
worshipped except You, You created me and I am Your
servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as
best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I
have committed. I acknowledge Your favor upon me
and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily
none can forgive sin except You.”
