Darood o salaam and astagfar

Invoking blessings on the Prophet (salawat)

Allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa `ala ali muhammadin wa sallim. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the Family of Muhammad, and grant them peace!

…“If people sit in an assembly in which they do not remember Allah nor invoke a blessing on the Prophet, it will be a cause of grief for them on the Day of Judgment.” (Tirmidhi)

…whether we take the words “cause of grief” to mean torment of fire or any other chastisement, obviously a punishment is incurred only when an obligatory act is neglected or a forbidden act is committed, and here it is both the remembrance of Allah and the invoking of blessings on His Prophet that are apparently incumbent.”

“Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!” (13/28)

It concerns whoever Allah guided and who has turned to Allah with love.

 “They only are the true believers whose hearts feel fear (wajilat = tremble or shake) when Allah is mentioned” (8/2) —To bring to mind His greatness and the intensity of His vengeance against those who disobey Him. This verse was revealed at a time when the Companions had a disagreement concerning the spoils of the battle of Badr.

The two meanings of fearsomeness and mercy are reunited in Surat al-Zumar: “Allah hath now revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent, wherein promises of reward are paired with threats of punishment, whereat doth creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord, so that (thumma = and then) their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah’s reminder (or: to the celebration of Allah’s praises; or: to Allah’s remembrance)” (39/23) … meaning, to Allah’s mercy and generosity.

“He who remembers Allah much, Allah loves him,” ….. This is a man who, while he was in the world, his tongue was constantly moist with the mention of Allah and his heart was attached to the mosques.”

those who remember Allah much– “If he perseveres in the forms of dhikr inherited in the Sunna morning and evening and in the various times and occasions, then he is of those who remember Allah much.”

Musa said: “O my Lord! Are you near, so that I may speak to you intimately, or are you far, so that I may call out to you?” Allah inspired to him: “I am sitting next to the one who remembers Me.” He said: “O my Lord, we are sometimes in a state of major impurity and we hold You in too high regard to dare remember You at that time.” He replied: “Remember me in every state.” Ghazali mentioned it in the “Ihya”.

Musa said – peace be upon him: “O my Lord, where do you dwell?” He replied: “In the heart of my believing servant.” The meaning of this is the heart’s rest brought about by His remembrance.

Allah manifests Himself (yatajalla) to the rememberers during dhikr and the recitation of Qur’an.

Remembers Allah seeking nothing other than Him except a caller from heaven calls out to them: “Arise forgiven, for your bad deeds have been turned into good ones!””

 

Istighfar

Prophet used to ask forgiveness 70 times a day, Now if some one asks 100 times or 200 times it doesn’t makes it a haram act Abu Hurayrah Used to Ask Forgiveness 12000 times a Day
From ‘Ikrimah that Abu Hurayrah said: “Verily, I turn to Allah asking forgiveness and repenting to Him 12,000 times every day.(Abu Nu’aym in his Hilyat Al-Awliyaa’ 1/383, , Ibn Hajr Al-’Asqalaani in his Isaabah )

 
`Abd Allah ibn `Abbas said: “If one supplicates without fail for forgiveness from Allah, He finds a way out for him to get out of every distress and difficulty, and gives him sustenance through ways utterly unthought of.” (Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah Hakim)

Aqah Karim (sallalahu waalaihi wasallam) said: What Allah has made lawful in His Book is halal and what He has forbidden is haram, and that concerning which He is silent is allowed as His favor. So accept from Allah His favor, for Allah is not forgetful of anything. He then recited, “And thy Lord is not forgetful.” (19/64) (al-Hakim, al-Bazzar.)

…“The halal is that which Allah has made lawful in His Book and the haram is that which He has forbidden, and that concerning which He is silent He has permitted as a favor to you.”( al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.)

Anas reported that he heard the Prophet saying that Allah says, “O son of Adam, whatever you asked Me and expect from Me I forgave — respecting that which you owed to Me — and I don’t care (how great this was). O Son of Adam, even if your sins pile up to the sky and then you seek My forgiveness I will forgive you, and O son of Adam, even if you have an earthful of sins but you meet Me without associating any other thing with Me I will forgive you.” (Tirmidhi.)

3 times —these would outweigh them(other wirds/azkar), and these words are:subhan allahi wa bi hamdihi `adada khalqihi wa rida nafsihi wa zinata `arshihi wa midada kalimatihi”Glory to Allah and praise to Him to number of His creation and to the extent of His pleasure and to the extent of the weight of His Throne and to the extent of ink used in recording words for His Praise.” (Muslim, Abu Dawud)

Surpasses your number of tasbih— Subhan Allah `adada khalqihi — Glory to Allah the number of His creation.”

Angels will write till you meet allah —ya rabbi laka al-hamdu kama yanbaghi li jalali wajhika wa li `azimi sultanik- My Lord! All praise belongs to You as much as befits Your Glory and Sublime Majesty.

Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet told them, “A servant of Allah said: ya rabbi laka al-hamdu kama yanbaghi li jalali wajhika wa li `azimi sultanik. My Lord! All praise belongs to You as much as befits Your Glory and Sublime Majesty. This was too much for the two angels to record. They did not know how to record it. So they soared to the heaven and said: Our Lord! Your servant has said something which we don’t know how to record. Allah asked them — and, of course, He knew what the servant had said: What did My servant say? They said: He said: My Lord! All praise belongs to You as much as befits Your Glory and Sublime Majesty. Allah said to them: Write it down as My servant has said until he should meet Me and I reward him for it.” (Narrated by Ibn Majah)

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
