Istighfar
الاستغفار
Text Size:
Istighfar is the act of seeking forgiveness from Allah by reciting phrases such as "Astaghfirullah." It is more than just a verbal utterance; it requires sincere remorse in the heart and a firm intention to avoid repeating the sin. Istighfar is a primary means of spiritual purification and a way to maintain a humble relationship with the Creator. In Islamic theology, frequent Istighfar is believed to bring Divine mercy, increase one's sustenance, and provide relief from anxiety. Even the Prophet (PBUH), despite his sinless nature, sought forgiveness dozens of times a day as an example for his followers.
