Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah
Let's talk about Istighfar: seeking Allah's forgiveness. Join us on the Substack app and share your experience with Istighfar and Surat Al-Baqarah in the chat or leave a comment.
Stop sleeping on thikr and istighfar. Anyone can do this. It's not like learning how to read the Qur'an which can take time, requiring tajweed and Arabic. Thikr is easy rewards, abundance and blessings that we've been leaving on the table.
Get yourself and your family members some as gifts and also share the practice with your friends and loved ones. The reward for the one who encourages good, is like the one who doest it.

Istighfar in the Qur'an
“But Allāh would not punish them while you, [O Muḥammad], are among them, and Allāh would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” (8:33)
“And [saying], Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favor his favor [i.e., reward]. But if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great Day” (11:3)
“And O my people, 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. And do not turn away, [being] criminals.” (11:52)
“And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.” (71:10)

We're trying to fill our silences with thikr, the mention of Allah. When Allah brings a practice into your awareness He is giving you a gift and opportunity.
It's a sign He wants to bring the blessing into your life, so in His generosity He is guiding you to the act, so He can bless you. Are you open to receiving it?
That's it for today.
Remember that Allah loves you, and He wants you to do well. Be kind to yourselves. I pray Allah holds you close to Him no matter where you are at the moment.
As always, Jazakum Allah Khair for being here.
Sincerely,
Sumayah
