We often forget the importance of the simple yet powerful Du'a/Supplication of ISTIGHFAR...that is saying or reciting "Astaghfirullah" (I seek forgiveness of Allah). Some virtues and benefits of ISTIGHFAR include:--
1) It removes anxiety and Du'as are answered.
2) Istighfar opens the door of Mercy, Knowledge and Sustenance.
3) Reciting 'Astaghfirullah' helps us to calm ourselves and wipes out variety of worldly worries from our mind and body.
Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, 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].
Given this Noble Hadith, we should include recital of lots of ISTIGHFAR (at least 100 times) in our daily Zikr when we come to Remember Allah Most High, in the mornings and evenings.
Best Regards.
