Starting your chapter later than others doesn’t mean you are behind. You are on time. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Allah’s plans are perfect.
I saw a quote that said “If you’re ever feeling lonely just look at the moon. It’s the same moon the Prophet ﷺ looked at” and it made me admire the beauty of the moon so much more.
hanya kepada-Mu aku bergantung dan berserah diri memohon.
hanya kepada-Mu aku meminta pertolongan.
hanya kepada-Mu aku menginginkan curahan cinta, kasih sayang, dan ketenangan.
mampukan hamba menyelesaikan skripsi ini, mampukan seseorang disana yang juga sedang berusaha keras tak kenal lelah untuk lulus.
mampukan kami meluruskan niat dan beribadah kepada-Mu.
kuatkan badan kami.
lembutkan hati kami.
berikan petunjuk dan cahaya kebaikan untuk masing-masing dari kami menuju-Mu.
hanya kepada-Mu lah sebaik-baiknya meminta, tiada keraguan dan ketakutan ketika hati tertaut kepada-Mu.
aku percaya, janji-Mu benar yaa Allaah.
dengan doa, aku memohon kebaikan hidupku di dunia dan di akhirat. dengan doa, aku mintakan kemampuan dan sayang serta cinta-Mu untuk orang-orang yang aku sayangi.
rabbana, atina fid dunya hasanah, wa fil akhirati hasanah, wa qina adzaban nar.✨
This true story was shared by the dā'ī Ismaīl BenZakariyah from Bilād al-Maghrib.
A brother once shared his story with Istighfār, here it is :
This is a letter to all afflicted brothers & sisters, the poorly and sick. This is a "قصة للذاكرين" - a story for the Dhākirīn - the ones who engage much in Dhikr - remembrance of Allāh.
I was suffering from a slipped disk at the time.
This problem made it difficult to walk, I would have to stop many times before I could complete any walk. The slipped disk is so painful it can feel like an electric shock when you are bending or twisting your back.
Doctors had diagnosed an operation was needed. I was worried because the operation not only required money but also time off work, which I could not afford. I would probably not get all the time off needed to recover from the operation, so my income and livelihood was at risk.
I was under pain killers every day to help me bear the pain. And then when I was told only the costly operation could solve the problem, and I would have to do it as soon as possible as well.... I could see a huge challenge ahead of me.
As I live outside my country and don't have my family with me, the recovery period from the operation was a tricky problem - who would help me move around the house and prepare food if I can't get up from sitting etc.
I remembered a sheikh who advised the afflicted to increase their Istighfār - seeking repentance. I knew that this meant at least a thousand times a day, and more, I would have to ask Allāh for repentance using phrases such as "AstaghfiruLLAH wa atūbu ilayh", "Rabbī Aghfirlī", " Lā Ilāha illā ant subhanaka innī kuntu mina adh-dhālimīn ".
I also knew this would have to be in addition to my daily worship such as Salāh - prayer, Adhkār - remembrance of the morning & evening...
I felt the pressure. Yet I knew this was my only way out. I thought this will take time, but I need to find the way to exponentially increase my Istighfār, with focus, without repeating it mechanically as we know that Allāh does not accept from an inattentive heart.
The challenge looked first daunting, yet I knew I had to do it and find the focus and strength.
By Allāh, after only three days of this daily Dhikr in which I managed to say it at least a few thousand times, I started seeing some changes.
The pain decreased. I could distinctively see that the pain episodes were less in number and intensity. The pain decreased so significantly in fact that I did not need to take pain killers several times a day but only once every two to three days. I also started walking and moving around without having to stop because of the intense pain. That was the Barakah of Istighfār!
I could see it, it was encouraging, I felt Allāh was opening the doors of فرج - Faraj - relief from trial.
The One who controls our bodies is also The One who told us to remember Him much in the Qur'an. The amount of times Allāh asks us to repent is staggering. In a way or another - various variants of the verb غفر ghafara , to pardon - Allāh asks us to repent 239 times !
Anything that Allāh mentions in the Qur'an is أمر عظيم - a weighty matter. But what about what is mentioned 239 times !
So brothers & sisters you know what to do. Have the Yaqīn - strong conviction & trust in Allāh - that just as Allāh relieved my pain and made it disappear, you can also be cured through Istighfār, without any operation.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمَا مِائَةً إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ". صحيح البخاري ومسلم حديث ٢٧٣٦ - ٢٦٧٧
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise." Sahih al-Bukhari 2736 In-book reference : Book 54, Hadith 23 // Sahih Muslim 2677aIn-book reference : Book 48, Hadith 5
قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( إن لله تسعة وتسعين اسما ، مائة إلا واحدا ، من أحصاها دخل الجنة ، إنه وتر يحب الوتر ) وفي رواية : ( من حفظها دخل الجنة ) قال الإمام أبو القاسم القشيري : فيه دليل على أن الاسم هو المسمى ، إذ لو كان غيره لكانت الأسماء لغيره لقوله تعالى : ولله الأسماء الحسنى قال الخطابي وغيره : وفيه : دليل على أن أشهر أسمائه سبحانه وتعالى : ( الله ) لإضافة هذه الأسماء إليه ، وقد روي أن الله هو اسمه الأعظم ، قال أبو القاسم الطبري : وإليه ينسب كل اسم له فيقال : الرءوف والكريم من أسماء الله تعالى ، ولا يقال من أسماء الرءوف أو الكريم الله .
واتفق العلماء على أن هذا الحديث ليس فيه حصر لأسمائه سبحانه وتعالى ، فليس معناه : أنه ليس له أسماء غير هذه التسعة والتسعين ، وإنما مقصود الحديث أن هذه التسعة والتسعين من أحصاها دخل الجنة ، فالمراد الإخبار عن دخول الجنة بإحصائها لا الإخبار بحصر الأسماء ، ولهذا جاء في الحديث الآخر : أسألك بكل اسم سميت به نفسك أو استأثرت به في علم الغيب عندك ، وقد ذكر الحافظ أبو بكر بن العربي المالكي عن بعضهم أنه قال : لله تعالى ألف اسم ، قال ابن العربي : وهذا قليل فيها .
والله أعلم .
وأما تعيين هذه الأسماء فقد جاء في الترمذي وغيره في بعض أسمائه خلاف ، وقيل : إنها مخفية التعيين كالاسم الأعظم ، وليلة القدر ونظائرها .
وأما قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( من أحصاها دخل الجنة ) فاختلفوا في المراد بإحصائها ، فقال البخاري وغيره من المحققين : معناه : حفظها ، وهذا هو الأظهر ; لأنه جاء مفسرا في الرواية الأخرى ( من حفظها ) وقيل : أحصاه�� : عدها في الدعاء بها ، وقيل : أطاقها أي : أحسن المراعاة لها ، والمحافظة على ما تقتضيه ، وصدق بمعانيها ، وقيل : معناه : العمل بها والطاعة بكل اسمها ، والإيمان بها لا يقتضي عملا ، وقال بعضهم : المراد حفظ القرآن وتلاوته كله ، لأنه مستوف لها ، وهو ضعيف والصحيح الأول .شرح الحديث من شرح النووى على مسلم
