1429. SEEKING FORGIVENESS AND INCREASE IN SUSTENANCE

(وَأنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَتاعاً حَسَناً إِلَى‏ أجَلٍ مُسَمَّىً وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِي فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُ) .¹

“Whoever commits evil or wrongs himself and then pleads Allah for forgiveness, will find Allah all-forgiving, all-merciful.”²

“Plead with your Lord for forgiveness, then turn to Him penitently. He will provide you with a good provision for a specified term and grant His grace to every meritorious person.”³

(وَيا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّماءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْراراً وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إلَى‏ قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِينَ) .⁴

“O my people! Plead with your Lord for forgiveness, then turn to Him penitently: He will send copious rains for you from the sky, and add power to your [present] power. So do not turn your backs [on Him] as guilty ones.”⁵
