Seeking Forgiveness
Seeking forgiveness [الإستغفار] is like an eraser of a pencil – it removes all traces of the mistakes we make.
Imam Ibn al-Jawzi said:
إذا خرقت ثوب دينك بالزلل فارقعه بالإستغفار
“𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.”
[“Al-Mudhish”, 1/391].
