8 Benefits Of Astaghfar That Are Discussed In The Holy Quran For Repentance!

Astaghfar opens the doors of mercy:

The Quran says, “Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.”[Quran 71:10]

According to the Hadith, The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “Allah

extends His hand by the day so the sinner of the night can repent and He extends His hand by the night so the sinner of the day can repent. “[Narrated by Muslim]

This is the glory and mercy of Allah SWT that he extends.

It will give you wealth and children:

The Quran says, “And give you increase in wealth and children.” [Quran, 71:12]

Isn’t everyone hungry for wealth, money and fame? People have become so invested in making money and chasing that dream that they have forgotten Islam and their duties to Allah. They have also forgotten that taking some time out to repent and say Astafarullah as much as you can open ways for you to earn and receive money, from which you never dreamed about including children for those who are seeking to expand their families.

Astaghfar provides sustenance:

The Quran says, “Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favour his favour” [Quran, 11:3]

So much for so little. This is how great Allah is that in this temporary world where sustaining yourself and family becomes hard, Allah promises that all you have to do is read Astagfirullah and he will bless you with provision but for a specified term. Why specified? Because humans are forgetful and He doesn’t want his believers to forget him.

Allah will send the rain of mercy:

The Quran says, “He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers.” [Quran, 71:11]

This is symbolic as well as for Allah to increase in our provision and mercy. Perhaps Astaghfar is a way to open our hearts to Allah swt allowing us to lean more towards Islam and His guidance.

Allah will provide you with gardens and rivers:

The Quran says, “. . . and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.” [Quran, 71:12]

This could be on this earth or hereafter that Allah promises in the Quran that he will bestow the one that does regular Astaghfar with gardens and rivers.

As we know, this beautiful religion is a complete guide and code to life; teaching its followers how to live a successful, sin-less, and righteous existence that will not only attain them the acceptance of Allah SWT but also Jannah.
