Istaghfar: Door to Many Blessings

Leave a comment
Surah Hud, 3
Surah Hud, 52

The benefits of istaghfar are great. As stated in the above ayah, Allah will send down rain from the sky to fulfill one’s needs. He will increase us in strength and grant provision in this life for the one who seeks His Forgiveness. We all make mistakes, big and small. Yet it’s essential we seek Allah’s forgiveness frequently, turn back to Him, and change our ways. Keep your tongues moist by seeking Allah’s Forgiveness. Istaghfar opens the door to many blessings.

Surah At Tawbah 38

When Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded the believers to go on the Expedition of Tabuk to fight the Romans, everyone was required to go. The journey was not easy. The weather was hot, provisions were few and the distance was long. Some of the Muslims were reluctant to go on this expedition. In this context, Allah SWT addresses the believers:

O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allāh, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.

One who possesses a sound intellect will never prefer this world over the Hereafter. This life is short and filled with problems. In terms of quality and time, it is nothing compared to the hereafter. In contrast, the enjoyment of the hereafter is filled with eternal happiness. Our focus in this life should be the Hereafter.

In times of difficulty, are we willing to sacrifice worldly comforts for the deen? Or do we only serve the deen when circumstances are easy and beneficial?

Why this Course
New Muslims face significant challenges. One of these challenges is that despite an abundance of material in books and on the internet, information is of varying quality and accuracy, and is often spread across many places. This information is often mixed with content which is inappropriate, too detailed, or confusing for a new Muslim. There is also a lack of simple, structured material from which a new Muslim can learn that which they really need to know in the first few days and weeks. Welcome to Islam is a unique programme for new Muslims, dealing with the first few weeks of a person’s life as a new Muslim. We intend to cover only the things that are essential for a new Muslim to know, in a way that is easily accessible to people who are new to Islam.
About the Course
The course is based on short modules (2-3 per week) intended to give the new Muslim the essential tools that she needs to get started in their new religion. This will include matters of belief, common problems and how to solve them, the prayer, Islamic terminology, and some of the basic commands and prohibitions of Islam. The aim is that new Muslims will be able, after completing the course, to integrate with existing classes and facilities for Muslims, and be comfortable and confident in their new life. The course will conclude in time for the ‘Asr prayer, and we will pray together before leaving. 

Week 1: The five pillars of Islam; the six pillars of faith; an introduction to cleanliness and prayer.
Week 2: Getting to grips with pronunciation; the words that we say in the prayer; prayer in congregation.
Week 3: Morals and manners; relationships and family.
Week 4: Clothing and privacy; forbidden things; where to go from here.
