"Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness." -Al Qur'an {8:33}

"Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness." -Al Qur'an {8:33}

*YOU WILL GET use TO ISTAGHFAR AFTER READING THIS ان شاء الله.* 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 (8):33]_ As for the second, it is istighfar.
*“Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness.”* _[al-Anfal (8):33]_
*ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ اﻟﻠﻪ …*
Do not ever leave istighfar
ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ اﻟﻠﻪ واتوب اليه
Astaghfirullaaha wa ‘atoobu ‘ilayhi. Rasul Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, *“If anyone continually asks forgiveness, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, relief from anxiety, and will provide for him from where he never realized.”* _[Abu Dawood, Hadith 59]_
