Allāhumma Anta Rabbī, lā ilāha illā Ant, khalaqtanī wa ana ʿabduk, wa ana ʿalā ʿahdika wa waʿdika mā’staṭaʿt, aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿt, abū’u laka bi niʿmatika ʿalayya wa abū’u bidhambī fa-ghfir lī fa-innahū lā yaghfiru-dh-dhunūba illā Ant. (Sayyid al-Istighfār) O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god worthy of worship except You. You have created me, and I am Your slave, and I am under Your covenant and pledge (to fulfil it) to the best of my ability. I seek Your protection from the evil that I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me, and I admit my sins. Forgive me, for none forgives sins but You. Shaddād b. Aws (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The most superior manner of seeking forgiveness is that you say [the above]. Whoever says it during the day with firm belief in it and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise. And whoever says it during the night with firm belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise.” (Bukhārī 6306) Istighfar - 1 لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ Lā ilāha illā Anta subḥānaka innī kuntu mina-ẓ-ẓālimīn. There is no god worthy of worship except You; You are free from all imperfection. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers. (21:87) *Istighfar - 2* رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي Rabbi innī ẓalamtu nafsī fa-ghfirlī. My Lord, I have certainly wronged myself, so forgive me.

🫧🪻 The Unparalleled Chastity of Prophet Yusuf (Peace Be Upon Him) 🌼🌴 (Insights from Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him) Allah Almighty has highlighted the chastity and purity of Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him), which stands as the greatest example. The reasons for sin that were present at that time were such that rarely anyone might be subjected to them. These reasons are as follows: 1. He (peace be upon him) was young, and youthful, naturally inclined towards desires. 2. He was unmarried, meaning there was no alternative means to fulfill his desires. 3. He was in a foreign land, generally, a person living among family and friends feels ashamed due to the fear of disgrace, but in a foreign land, this fear diminishes. 4. He was a slave, and generally, a free person despises certain things that a slave does not. 5. The woman involved was of status and beauty, which typically strengthens the urge to sin. 6. The proposition for sin came from the woman herself, so there was no fear of rejection if he had desired it. 7. With the woman's coaxing and desire, there was no longer a fear that she might be testing his chastity. 8. He (peace be upon him) was in the woman's room, where she knew the times and routines, and no one except Allah could see them. 9. The doors were closed, eliminating the fear of anyone suddenly entering. Despite all these factors, Allah Almighty kept him chaste. He did not heed the woman's invitation, prioritizing the rights of Allah and his master. This was such a situation that if anyone else were tested with it, their condition might have been quite different. 📚 (Rawdat al-Muhibbin wa Nuzhat al-Mushtaqin: 318) ✍️ Translation and Summary: Hafiz Muhammad Tahir •┄┅┅❂❀🌹❀❂┅┅┈• @Gemsofjannah98

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ Repentance and Hope ✨ In last week's post we read about- The third condition for sincere repentance is a firm resolve not to repeat the mistake. One cannot truly repent while planning to commit the same mistake again. However, if one does fall into the same error, they must renew their repentance with sincere remorse and determination to avoid the mistake in the future. This process can be repeated as needed, with the understanding that Allah is Most Forgiving and Merciful, and welcomes sincere repentance repeatedly, finding joy in His servant's return to Him. Post #6 🌻 As for the fourth condition, scholars said that if the mistake one has committed has to do with people’s rights, one has to give this right back. For example, if one unlawfully takes something without deserving it, it has to be returned. If injustice is committed, it has to be corrected. Scholars also mentioned that one has to seek people’s pardon if one speaks ill of them. And so on. Ibn `Ataa’ assumes that you have fulfilled these conditions, and adds that you have to have a feeling of hope in your Lord. This is not a ‘condition’ but rather an ethic (withAllah). {They have the hope of the Mercy of Allah: for God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace}.

⚜️🤎 Send lots of Salawat upon the Prophet 🤎⚜️ Sending ṣalāwat upon the Prophet ﷺ on Friday is better than on the rest of the days, and its night (Thursday night) is the best of nights. He ﷺ said, “Among the best of your days is Friday, so frequently send ṣalāh upon me therein.” الصلاة على النبي ﷺ يوم الجمعة أفضل من بقيّة الأيام، وليلتها أفضل الليالي، قال ﷺ: (إن من أفضل أيامكم يوم الجمعة فأكثروا عليّ من الصلاة فيه) Shaykh Abdel Aziz AlTarefe ❍┈─┅═••࿇✠ ࿇••┅─┄❍ #reminders #friday WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - https://chat.whatsapp.com/GMmLlVv3SL1IZOMvGn2LU9 Telegram - T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==1

اَلسَّـــــلامُ عَلَــيــْكُمْ وَرَحْمَـــةُاللهِ وَبَرَكَــاتُهُ 🌸 أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ🌸 THE BEST WAY TO SEEK FORGIVENESS Action Points & Benefits • Though this duʿā’ is to ask Allah for forgiveness, we only do so at the end. Thus, we learn that the best way of seeking forgiveness is not to immediately ask for it, but to precede it with the following: ⭐Acknowledging Allah’s greatness and that He alone deserves to be worshipped. ⭐Acknowledging the pledge we made to Allah, which is to take Him as our Lord. ⭐Having hope in the promise of Allah (i.e. the promise of admitting us into Paradise if we do not associate partners with Him). ⭐Seeking refuge in Allah from the evil of our sins. ⭐Acknowledging Allah’s blessings over us. ⭐Acknowledging our shortcomings towards Allah (i.e. our sins and our inability to perfect acts of worship). • This duʿā’ teaches us the adab of seeking forgiveness and how to approach Allah with the true humility of a servant. • It also teaches us the mindset of a believer and in a few words, reminds us about the bond between servant and Master. • It reminds us who Allah is and who we are; how weak we are and how Powerful He is. • When read daily, in the morning and in the evening, it gives us a chance to reaffirm our tawḥīd to Him and be purified from our endless sins inshā’Allah. • It is no surprise that the Prophet ﷺ said that whoever says this with certainty will enter Paradise. This is because whoever says it with certainty is someone who sincerely repents to Allah; and sincere repentance guarantees Paradise. • If we gain the habit of reciting this duʿā’ every day, inshallah we hope that whenever we die, we will be admitted into Paradise. • The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever says it during the day with firm belief in it…” Reciting these adhkār with firm belief and conviction (yaqīn) requires us to know what they mean. This is why we should learn the meaning of the adhkār and reflect on it, so that we can increase in our conviction and attain the full reward. ❍┈─┅═••࿇✠ ࿇••┅─┄❍ WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - https://chat.whatsapp.com/GMmLlVv3SL1IZOMvGn2LU9 Telegram - https://T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==1
