ISTIGHFAR
Concerning the above command, The mother of the faithful Ayesha (RA) said, the Prophet (SAW) never offered prayer after this verse was revealed except, He Says: “My Lord, I glorify and praise You, Oh Allah forgive me.”
ISTIGHFAR
The above statement of Allah is enough to put the Prophet (SAW) in no need of forgiveness. The Prophet (SAW) Has declared: “I Seek Forgiveness From Allah Seventy Times A Day.” And in another narration one hundred times. The Prophet (SAW) Has also said: “Your sickness is your sin and its remedy is to always seek for forgiveness.”
ISTIGHFAR
The above verse shows that the Muslim community has an assurance of safety from the wrath of Allah in two ways. One is if the Prophet (SAW) is in their midst and the second is if they continuously seek forgiveness. If we then look carefully, only the second option is open to the Muslim community in the present circumstance. In a divine Hadith that is pure, Allah Says: “All of you commit sins always, but I forgive all sins.”
Since none are infallible but Allah (SWT) and His Apostle (SAW), the first act enjoined by Shaykh Ahmad Tijani as He calls to the path of the Prophet (SAW) is that the Muslim should return to Allah by realizing his wrongdoings and saying the forgiveness formula “Astaghfiru-Llah.” This is the first thing enjoined by the Tijaniyya Tariqa on His disciples.
