Kunle28:
YOU WILL GET ADDICTED TO ISTAGHFAR AFTER READING THIS INSHA ALLAH.*

A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him:
*“The sky does not shower us with rain.”*
He replied:
*“Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ).”*

Then another person came to him and said,
*“I complain of poverty.”*
He replied:
*“Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”*

Then another person came to him and complained,
*“My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.*
” He replied:
*“Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”*

The people who were present, said to al-Hasan:

*“Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to Only to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”*

Al-Hasan al-Basri said,

“Have you not read the statement of Allah?

*“Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”‘”*
_[Nuh (71):10-12]_

There are two things in the earth that give a person safety and security from the punishment of Allah.
The first has been removed, whilst the second still remains.
As for the first, it was the Messenger of Allah ( ﺻﻠﻲ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ ).

*“Allah would not punish them while you were among them.”*
_[al-Anfal (:33]_

As for the second, it is istighfar.

*“Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness.”*
_[al-Anfal (:33]_
*ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ …*

Do not leave istighfar!

Astaghfirullaaha wa 'atoobu 'ilayhi.
