The Power Of Istighfar.
 

Salaam to you all,
We often tend to forget the importance of the simple yet powerful Du'a/Supplication of Istighfar... ie the saying of or ricital of 'ASTAGHFIRULLAH' (I seek forgiveness of Allah). Some of the benefits and virtues of Istighfar are:--

1) It removes anxiety and Du'as are answered.

2) Istighfar opens the door of Mercy (Rahmah), Knowledge and Sustenance.

3) Recital of 'Astaghfirullah also helps us to calm ourselves and wipes out variety of worldly worries
from our body and mind.

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, peace 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].

We should, given the above, be reciting or include lots of ISTIGHFAR (at least 100 times) in our daily Zikr when we come to Remember Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, in the Mornings and Evenings.
