DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn 21st day of Ramadhaan (Monday 3rd May 2021).

SEEKING FORGIVENESS IN THESE LAST DAYS OF RAMADHAN. Bismillah.

We MUST not allow this month to pass without seeking forgiveness in abundance for our past present and future sins. We should cry & beg of ALLAH to give us HIS MERCY & FORGIVENESS. If we leave Ramadan without gaining the MERCY of ALLAH then surely we are of the most unfortunate and amongst the biggest losers in this world and the next.

We must Stand in prayer at night to gain forgiveness for all sins as Abu Huraira (RA) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) in Laylatul Qadr while nourishing his faith with self-evaluation, expecting reward from ALLAH, will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” (Bukhari and Muslim). This is our best opportunity to gain forgiveness of our past and present sins. Forget the past now, learn from it & take lessons from it. What matters is NOW. So ask of ALLAH everynight for mercy & forgiveness. 

When we make Dua we should imagine ALLAH is watching and in front of us and so we should call on HIM like a begger, crying to HIM. If we can't cry due to the hardness of our hearts then we should at least act & make the face like we are crying and enforce our heart to submit to the greatness of ALLAH. We should ask of ALLAH sincerely with remorse & intention not to repeat such sins again for forgiveness of our past & present sins. The dua to recite mostly should be;

"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'afu 'annee" oh ALLAH, you are the pardoning, you love to pardon so please pardon me. EVEN sisters in their monthly cycle etc must wakeup and sit down reciting the above as much as possible or simply by saying Astaghfirullah. Please remember me in your dua. 

May ALLAAH have mercy on us and forgive our sins. Aameen.
