Question: How can we seek forgiveness for our sins and how can we stop committing sins when we feel we are unable to?
Shaykh AI:
B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), seeking forgiveness for our sins is a crucial part of our spiritual journey. When we find ourselves unable to stop committing sins, it’s important to seek forgiveness sincerely and strive to change our behavior.
One way to seek forgiveness is through the practice of Istighfar, which involves asking Allah for forgiveness for our sins. This can be done by reciting the prayer “Astaghfirullahal ‘Azim, wa atubu ilayh” which means “I ask for forgiveness of Allah the Magnificent, and I turn to Him in repentance.” This prayer is a powerful way to seek forgiveness and turn back to Allah with sincerity.
Additionally, when we commit sins that we struggle to stop, it’s important to engage in self-discipline and self-reflection. Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan emphasizes the importance of making amends and seeking forgiveness from those we may have wronged. This process of continuously asking for forgiveness from others can be humbling for the ego and can inspire us to refrain from repeating the same mistakes.
Furthermore, engaging in regular spiritual practices such as keeping wudu, performing Salatul Najat (Prayer of Salvation), reciting Salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), and practicing meditation (muraqabah) can help in controlling our impulses and desires. These practices strengthen our connection with Allah and the Prophet ﷺ, and they can provide the spiritual strength needed to resist committing sins.
In conclusion, seeking forgiveness for our sins involves sincere repentance, making amends with others, and engaging in regular spiritual practices. It’s a continuous effort to improve our character and seek closeness to Allah. Remember, Allah is the Most Merciful and He responds to sincere repentance with love and forgiveness. May Allah grant us the strength to overcome our shortcomings and guide us on the path of righteousness. Ameen.
May you be blessed with the strength to seek forgiveness sincerely and to overcome any challenges in your spiritual journey. Remember to have good character, high determination, and to be of service to the Tariqa and others.
