People often forget the importance of the simple yet powerful dua (supplication) – Istighfar i.e., saying “Astaghfirullah” (I seek forgiveness of Allah). It is the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) to seek istighfaar 100 times daily. If Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), the man to whom the Jannah is guaranteed, seeks forgiveness of Allah at least 100 times a day, where do our chances lie to get Jannah? !
Let us see the benefits and virtues of reciting this simple beautiful supplication inShaAllah.
- Istighfar (Astagfirullah) is the gateway of relief and happiness. Whenever you are in distress start reciting it and Insha Allah it will take you out of your anxiety and will put you in a peaceful situation and will give you happiness.
- Istighfar removes anxiety and duas are answered.
- Istighfar opens the door of sustenance.
- Istighfar opens the door of mercy.
- Istighfar opens the door of knowledge.
- Istighfar is also gateway of productivity.
- Istighfar relieves you. When you feel that sadness within you, when you are disturbed and frustrated, when anxiety surrounds you, say “Astaghfirullah” “Astaghfirullah”…
- Reciting Astaghfiruallah is an effective method of calming our self and wipes away the variety of worldly worries from our mind and body. It may also help us, if we are suffering from depression, it calm us and lessen our depression.
- Astaghfirullah also helps us to refrain from all forms of sins. Regularly saying this reminds us that Allah is everywhere and in this way there is very small chances of doing wrongful actions.
- Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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].
- In another hadith, Abdullah bin Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) narrates that Rasulullah (ﷺ) said:
“The one who (regularly) says Istighfaar, that is, frequently repent to Allah Ta’aala for sins committed, Allah Azza Wa-Jal will open a path from poverty and difficulties. All sorrow and hardship will be removed, and in its place prosperity and contentment granted. One will receive sustenance from unimagined and unexpected sources.”
- Rasulullah (ﷺ) has said in another Hadith:
“The one who seeks forgiveness for Muslim males and females from Allah Ta’aala twenty six or twenty five times every day, Allah Ta’ala will count that person among those whose Du’a is accepted, and through the barakah of whom those on earth gain Rizq (sustenance).”
- Do Tasbih of Astaghfaar at least 100 times daily as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
- In one minute, you can say “Astaghfirullah” more than 100 times! The virtue of seeking forgiveness is well-known, it is a reason of obtaining forgiveness, entering Paradise, having good provisions, increasing one’s strength, repelling harm, having affairs facilitated, the descent of rain, and increasing in wealth and children.
- The doors of repentance are always open therefore don’t delay your repentance in a hope of tomorrow, as tomorrow is uncertain , Repent now and make it a habit to ask Allah’s forgiveness by reciting “Astaghfirullah”.
- Say I believe in Allah’s mercy, I have sinned, I have gone astray, I have been negligent, but still I believe in Allah’s soothing mercy and forgiveness, I’ll not despair!
Importance of Istighfar from the Quran:
One of the 99 Names of Allah is Al-Ghaffaar (الْغَفَّارُ) – The Great Forgiver The Forgiver, the One who forgives the sins of His slaves time and time again. There are numerous verses in the Quran about the importance of asking for forgiveness of Allah SWT. Here are few of them:
And (commanding you): “Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance, that He may grant you good enjoyment, for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding Grace to every owner of grace (i.e. the one who helps and serves needy and deserving, physically and with his wealth, and even with good words). But if you turn away, then I fear for you the torment of a Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). [Hud 11:3]
Declare (O Muhammad SAW) unto My slaves, that truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful. [Al-Hijr 15:49]
Then, verily! Your Lord for those who do evil (commit sins and are disobedient to Allâh) in ignorance and afterward repent and do righteous deeds, verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [An-Nahl 16:119]
Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance. [Al-Isra 17:25]
And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). [Ta-Ha 20:82]
And say (O Muhammad SAW): “My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!” [Al-Mumenoon 23:118]
Need more verses? Read the Quran! There are plenty of verses about the importance of seeking forgiveness. Some verses are addressing the previous Prophets and their people. But these are again addressing us since Allah SWT wants us to learn from the story of previous people – His acceptance of forgiveness from them and His severe punishments for the ignorant groups. So did you say “Astagfirullah” (I seek forgiveness of Allah) 100 times today? 🙂

Assalamualaikum! I’m juz a normal person who was born a born muslim but only became pious last year. I used to feel so blessed and everything. All my prayers were quickly accepted and i had everything. I used to feel good about myself but then suddenly i had a slow and steady change of heart that was very sudden and shocking to me. I became lazy when it came to praying and i started feeling so disturbed and got stuck in really awful things and doubts. Now i don’t know what to do. Can i seek help from the creator of this webpage?? Email me please.
Waalaikum Salam bro.
I’m extremely sorry for the very late reply. Try Tahajjud prayer, one of the best solution suggested by the scholars. It’s not easy to begin. Wake up just 30min before Fajr and pray. See how this changes your life Insha Allah!
Assalamualaikum
Dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters,
Before Two Years, I was very upset and there was not a single solution of my problems, I heard about Astagfar, I started asking for forgiveness and now Al Hamdulillah I am relaxed, my present is fine and not worried about future, few months ago, I left asking forgiveness and my bad time again started, therefore I request you all to ask for forgiveness, thousand of times daily, Insha Allah It will change Your Life.
I agree with you, even mine problem was same, i did alot of Astagfar, and i got blessings from every where, the best wazifa is to do Astagfar, because after doing Astagfar, your needs, your duas are always accepted by Allah. so friends we all muslima should do alot of Astagfar and in sha Allah , we all will get benefited from this small supplication and we all will best of the best here and in akhira… Ameen

……I love allah….Asthafirullah
Assalamu Alaikum,
HE will forgive, for sure Insha Allah, if you repents from the bottom of your heart. Because HE said:
And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). [Ta-Ha 20:82]
Sharing one hadith:
On the authority of Anas, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say:
Allah the Almighty has said: “O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as its.”
Your past is past. Nobody is perfect. Not even the religious ones. You need not repent to anyone except Allah. He will hide your sins even on the Day of Judgement. Just repent sincerely, live a good life in obedience to our Lord, and never divert from the straight path. May Allah bless you and your family.
Alhamdulillah.
Jazakallahu kheir. All praises belong only to Allah(swt) and He alone is worth of worship. Alhamdulilah, we muslims Allah(swt) Most beneficient and merciful raised our status among all His creatures but unfortunately we are unware of it because we neglected His revelation and command or hold it with a light esteem and that is why today we are weak and facing adversity. May Allah(swt) forgive us for our sins, grant us success in both worlds, protect us from hell and evil, and guidance to the straight path.
Alhamdulillah. God bless you ameen
Salam to all..! It is very nice and informative. It is a way to get knowledge and guidance. Jazakallah
Asalam Alikum wa rehamtullahi wa barkatahu, may Allah Bless you in this life and here after. This section of Istaghfar has helped me so much Alhumdulillallah.
Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
I just wanted to share something from what I have learned:
Allah (SWT) is the MOST pure one and therefore, can not be everywhere. Yes, He (SWT) can hear all and see all things, but it does not mean that He (SWT) is everywhere. But the point I wanted to make was that, when a person says that Allah (SWT) is everywhere, it can literally mean even places of filth, even if the person saying it did not intend to mean it in that kind of manner. Allah (SWT) is above the heavens and the earth, and thus, can only be in Pure places. The earth, for example, has many impure places, so Allah (SWT) can not be on earth.
May Allah (SWT) forgive me and forgive us all of our shortcomings, and He (SWT) knows best. Please forgive me, and do not take this offensive.
Jazakumullahu Khairun,
Wasalamualaikum
I think Allah is everywhere means that he hears us and sees us. He resides in the heavens but he can surely see what is happening everywhere even inside our hearts
ولقد خلقنا الإنسن وتعلم ماتوسوس به نقشه ونحن أقرب إليه من حبل الوريد
And we have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
[QURAN 50:16]
وهو معكم أين ما كنتم
AND HE IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE
Surat Al-Hadid 57:4
alhamdulillah . God bless you

Assalamu alaikum
i want to know how many time i says astagfirullah to solves difficulties please give answer sahi hadith .
Dear Anonymous, After reading your question, I am guessing you are from India or Pakistan, because only people from those countries believe in Wazifas and # of times etc to solve problems. I don’t mean any disrespect as I am from India too. Having said that let me tell you and Allah knows best, that there is no set “number of times”. Read it when you can. It all depends on your intentions, sincerity, focus. Allah is the master of universe. He may accept your dua or astaghfar the very first time you say it. Just once or if you are not sincere, you can read it for the rest of your life and it wont matter. I hope that helps.
It is the sunnah of our beloved Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to seek istighfaar 100 times daily in the morning and evening
Such a great read 🙂
Thanks admin 🙂

Dear Sister Islam is not Religion Its Way of Life you can say Astagfirullah and you will get reward in both worlds
before doing astagfar you have to understand what is GOD,You have to believed in one Allah and Mohammad S.A.W is his last and final messenger
then only astagfar will benefit you.
Dear brother/ sister
Saying astagfiruallah give benifits to whom who believe in Allah swt. and his messenger muhammad sav. And he should stop from sin when he seek astagfar
Hi Suganya,
Thanks for your question.
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Say: “O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.” If then they turn back, say ye: “Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah’s Will)”.
Qur’an 3:64
Am sharing with you two important incidents about istigfar
This story about “Istighfar” is from the life of Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal, who is considered as a renowned scholar of Islam and a famous theologian. Imam Ahmed is also considered to be the founder of the Hanbali school of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and is one of the most celebrated Sunni theologians, often referred to as the “Sheikh ul-Islam” or the “Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah.”
During his old age, while Imam Ahmed was travelling he stopped by a town. After the prayers, he wanted to stay for the night in the masjid yard because he didn’t know anyone in the town. Owing to his humility, he hadn’t introduced himself to anyone thinking that if he did, he would be welcomed by many people.
Failing to recognize Ahmed bin Hanbal, the caretaker of the mosque refused to let him stay in the mosque. As Imam Ahmed was quite old, the caretaker had to drag him out of the mosque. On seeing this, a baker from a nearby place felt pity for this man (Imam Ahmed) and offered to be the host to him for the night. During his stay with the baker, Imam Ahmed observed that the baker would constantly recite Istighfar (seek forgiveness from Allah). Imam Ahmed asked the baker if the constant practice of saying Istighfar had any effect on him. The baker responded by telling Imam Ahmed that Allah had accepted all of his duas (supplications), except one. When he asked him what dua was it that hadn’t been accepted, the baker replied that he had been asking Allah to provide him the privilege to meet the famous scholar Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal.
On this, Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal said that Allah had not only listened to his dua but had dragged him onto his (the baker’s) doorsteps.
This story is a reminder of the power of saying Istighfar (seeking forgiveness)
frequently. Let’s remember that the prophet used to say Istighfar frequently during the day.
Another Incident:
Tafseer Al-Qurtubi states:
A man complained to Al-Hasan about a drought, and he said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.”
Another man complained to him of poverty and he said to him: “Pray to Allah to forgive you.”
Another man said to him: “Pray to Allah to bless me with a child.” He said: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.”
Another complained to him that his garden was dry. He said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.”
He was asked about it and he said: “This is not my personal opinion, for Allah says in Surah Nooh (interpretation of the meaning): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” Tafseer Al-Qurtubi (18/301-302)
Insha Allah u will get what u want but u must say it with full belief in Allah and no other God.

AlhumdullillAllahiRabilalameen
ALLAH (SWT) blesses you trillion folds for each and every dot of Astaghfarullah recited by every one who follows your advice of Nabi (SAW) as indeed i am one of the Sinner of sinners who has fallen in love with ASTAGFAURULLAH and recite it 7000 times each day but never ever enough i feel to wash away my sins so i will c9ntinue until end of life on earth and hope my soul will c9ntinue Hereafter also. I recommend each and every Muslim and Non-Muslim as a precription of 70 times daily of Astagfarullah for all difficulties especially anxiety and depression to vanish within 40 days. If not then carry on reciting more and increase the recitation like the dose of depression tablets to infinite high recitation i.e. 10000mg of tablets….
Allah (SWT) blesses you infinitely here and Hereafter also amen.
May Almighty Allah Forgive us and Accept us All.Inn shaa Allah.Ameen.
