Supplication of forgiveness

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ 16 

 ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَوَٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ وَٱلْقَٰنِتِينَ وَٱلْمُنفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ بِٱلْأَسْحَارِ 17

16.  Those who say: Our Lord! Lo! we believe, so forgive us our sins and guard us from the punishment of Fire. 17.  The steadfast, and the truthful, and the obedient, and those who spend (and hoard not), and those who pray for pardon in the watches of the night.

16.  ‘Allaziina  yaquuluuna  Rabbaanaaa  ‘innanaaa  ‘aamannaa-  fagfir-lanaa  zunuubanaa  wa  qinaa  ‘azaaban-Naar. 17.  ‘As-Saabiriina  was-Saadi-qiina  wal- Qaani-tiina  wal-Munfiqiina  wal-Mustagfiriina  bil- ‘as-haar.

Commentary

Bil- ‘as-haar – (in the watches of the night), Sahar is the time when darkness of night mingles with the light of dawn. This last part of night has the characteristic that particularly this time is the time for satisfying and awakening of the spiritual powers, although it is difficult for oneself to awake at that time.

 

Virtues of those people have been described in the verse who were called the pious persons and “those who keep away from evil, with their Lord, are Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide for ever, and pure companions, and goodwill of Allah”. These good manners are appended below:

1.   These people become model role of humility and meekness instead of being proud and arrogance on their piety and sobriety. They always pray from Allah, “Our Lord! Forgive our sins and save us from the Fire of the Hell”.

2.   They remain in patience. Whenever they are put in any trial, they beg from Allah Almighty to bestow them constancy and steadfastness.

3.   These people are honest in their sayings, heart and intentions. They are pure in matters, straightforward, abstinent from telling a lie, deceit and hypocrisy.

4.   They remain firm to obey the commands of Allah Almighty despite undergoing through very hardships; avoid committing evils, and hate from wrong acts and sins.

5.   They spend from the wealth given by Allah Almighty on His determined times, do not be stingy and miser. They take part actively in charitable donations and do not waste any situation of goodness.

6.   They pray for pardon of their sins and errors from their Lord awakening in the last part of night. That is to say; they spend last part of night in worship and likewise they remain seekers of forgiveness from sins sincerely.

We should try to create these qualities into ourselves so that we may also join the company of pious people and may deserve blessings of Allah Almighty.
