Do you know the Dua for Laylatul Qadr? Well, Muslims all around the world recite this supplication (dua) “Allahumma Innaka Afuwwun” in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. However this supplication (dua) is not limited to only Ramadan and can be recited regularly. It is the most powerful supplication (dua), asking Allah, The most glorified, the most high (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) for forgiveness.
Continuously asking for forgiveness indeed unlocks the previously closed doors and helps a believer succeed in this life and hereafter. But do we ask for forgiveness at all?
Shaykh Albani said, Allah’s forgiveness, my brothers, out of all of the goals of a muslim’s life, is the ultimate. This is undoubtedly true. Uttering Allahumma Innaka Afuwwun Dua will only increase Allah’s forgiveness.
A believer should never despair from Allah’s mercy and forgiveness. Because Allah is the only one who can forgive your sins, he can ease your worries, he can relieve distress (always say Hasbunallah wanikmal wakil), Allah helps the defeated person bounce back on this feet. Allah has the power to make the poor, Rich. He guides the person who is astray and confused, fulfils the needs of the desperate person. He feeds the hungry, clothes the one who is naked, he conceals the faults and calms our fears. So who do you think you should ask for Forgiveness except Allah, the most forgiving?
