Prayers for Forgiveness

April 17, 2007 at 1:22 am (Islam, Perfecting Salat)

Have you ever worked on a veryyyyy old computer, that has TONS of files and programs installed that are of NO use what so ever. How fast did the processer load things you needed? How did you feel using that computer to finish an important project?

Frustrated? Annoyed? Impatient! SICK?

Okay good…. now compare that to a person who has an awesome brain that was blessed to them by Allah subhanahu wata’aala …and they used it, they filled it up with garbage; with the many millions tv shows they watched and sound tracks they listend to and tons of entertaining devices that they endulged in. Before you know it, their brain can no longer resist reading a book, reading an article or even sitting and “thinking” something as important as the meaning of life, or their status in terms of achieving their goals… OR even KNOWING their goals! Subhanallah.

Just like that computer, their brain needs a reformatting. All that garbage needs to be purged out. This takes time, patience and an attitude to reboot! For our heart this means, cleansing it. How, you may ask? Simple. Repent to Allaah! Make your intention to not do these unnecessary activities. And repent to your Lord so that you may be successfull. How can we expect to have our prayers answered if we disobeyed so much and never seeked forgiveness? There are amazing duas from the Quran and sunnah that can be recited and pondered upon, for verily every day the son of Adam sins….and every day if we were to ask Allah for forgiveness, He would do so! May Allah enable us to ask for forgiveness in the best of manner and grant us al firdaus al ala (Ameen wa ajma’een)

These are just some forgiveness duas I found on the web (these are also in the 70 duas of the prophet). Inshallah get that book if you can! Its amazing! And read ‘em all ….
