أستغفر ألله

And Allah is Rahim - Allah is Merciful and if one was destined for Jahannam and then he repents, Allah showers him with His mercy and exchages all his sins for good deeds.
We must be firm and steadfast upon our promises. And if we do make true Taubah, then we receive the Great blessings and ni'mah that the prophet ﷺ will pray and seek forgiveness on our behalf. And Allah will grant us Jannah. And then the Dhikr given to by your Shaikh will help you to be steadfast and will protect you from sins so you may be successful.
Today Women dress immodestly and go out flaunting themselves.
Corona isn't an illness but a punishment so we must open our eyes today and take this chance to make true taubah as Allahs doors are open.
Some desire a "good life" and a "good hereafter". Yet it is as though they seek both, Jannah and jahannam. Because they sin as much as they like in this world (cutting your beard and sinning etc) and expect a good akhirah.
We should ask for dunya (life) which consists of our deen- Living alongside the limits set by sharia. Consequently this will give us a good hereafter.
What the Quran tells us is very beneficial so we must take heed and make true repentance before it's too late!

A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him: “The sky does not shower us with rain.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله).”
Then another person came to him and said, “I complain of poverty.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness."
Then another person came to him and complained, “My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness."
The people who were present, said to al-Hasan: “Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”
Al-Hasan al-Basri said, “Have you not read the statement of Allah? 'I said "Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers."' [Nuh (71):10-12]
We are afflicted with much calamity today, hence we should make plenty of istighfar.
Nabi ﷺ would make 70 -100 times istighfar in a day and he ﷺ would emphasise on istighfar as it is the means of removing many calamities.
Now we may begin to recite many kalimats of istighfar. However this is not the true repentance. This is just a wazifa.
Some have the misconception that doing thousands of tasbih of istighfar is the true taubah.
True taubah/repentance consists of 3 conditions.
1st) when one turns to Allah and is truely remorseful over his sin. He acknowledges all of them.
2nd condition) is that he makes a firm promise that he ends the sin right now
3rd condition) promises to never repeat the sin again.
And thereafter he recites the kalimats of istighfar. This is the true taubah and will eliminate his sins and serve as a protection from sins for him.
Someone came to me for taubah. And I spent half an hour with him. I asked him will you keep a beard (and other promises etc). He said I will try. And I said you will have to promise Allah that you will keep a beard for your repentance to be sound. So he tried again to make repentance and this happened for half an hour. After that he firmly repented.
(So shaytan will come to you, but true success lies with Taubah)
The house in which Taubah Is practised, corona cannot enter it.
There is no cure from coronavirus except taubah!
Make a firm promise today to end music and songs and all haraam because this what leads us to all sorts of sicknesses.
Nabi said ﷺ "The one who repents from sin is like the one who has no sin."
Nowadays we sin and we dont pray and we say "Allah is Ghafur Ar Rahim." But His qualities of Forgiveness serve as such when one actually seeks His repentance.
It is similar to a beggar who expects money without asking for it.
Nuh عليه السلام said the following words to his people so that they may take heed.
"Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers."' [Nuh (71):10-12]
O you who believe, when the believing women come to you, seeking bai’ah (a pledge of allegiance) with you that they will not ascribe any partner to Allah, and will not commit theft, and will not commit fornication,and will not kill their children, and will not come up with a false claim (about the parentage of a child) that they falsely attribute (to the sperm of their husbands being dropped) between their hands and their feet (i.e. their private parts), and will not disobey you in what is recognized (in Sharī‘ah), then take them in your bai’ah, and pray Allah for their forgiveness. Surely Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
Allah has placed the Mashaaikh Ikraam as inheritors from the Prophet ﷺ so that people may come to them and receive bayah and forgiveness from them. And this is a great blessing in this day and age!
Women are given bayah via a telephone and are never directly infront of hadrath sahib (DB)
The purpose of bayah is to Connect a person with his Lord.
Electricity within a bulb englights the entire room so your connection with your Shaikh should be so strong that it becomes the mean of you abstaining from sins.
When you make true repentance from a sin you must not share that sin with others.
Allah is Ghafoor he forgives all sins.
And Allah i
