What’s the difference between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 2nd day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Friday 24th March 2023). *_What’s the difference between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )?_* BismilLah. 


AlhamdulilLah for granting us this blessed day in this blessed month. 

*_Maghfirah_*: is for ALLAH to forgive you for the sin, but the sin will still be registered on your book of deeds. Maghfirah is ALLAH’s forgiveness for your sin, but on Judgment Day, it will be written on your record, ALLAH will ask you about it, but HE won’t punish you because of it. This is for ALLAH to remind us that HE records whatever we do, so we must be careful. 


*_Afuw_*: is for ALLAH to forgive you for the sin and delete it from your book of deeds as if it did not happen. ‘Afuw is ALLAH’s pardon for your sin. It will be completely erased from your record, and ALLAH won’t ask you about it on Judgement Day. 


This is why our Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that this is the best Dua to make when seeking Laylatul Qadr.

*"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'afu 'annee"*

(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi)

*O ALLAH, You are The One Who pardons greatly, and You love to pardon, so pardon me.)"*


So make sure you recite this dua all the time and as much as you can. Make it one of your daily athkaar.

Imagine that you are standing on the day of judgment being held accountable for your deeds, and you're not guaranteed your entry to Jannah.

Suddenly, you find that you have mountains of Hasanat (rewards) in your record. Do you know from where these mountains of rewards come from?


Because in the Dunya,  you kept saying "SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi SubhanAllah al ‘Adhim”. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam said: Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, they are loved by Al Rahman, (The Most Merciful. One):

سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ الْعَظِيمِ - *SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi, Subhan-Allahi 'l-`adheem (Glory be to ALLAH, and Praise, Glory be to ALLAH, the SUPREME"*

(Bukhari , Muslim)


Let's study and share with others seeking ALLAH'S blessings for helping others to do the rewarding acts of worship. Be among those Who Guides Others to good deeds. *_May ALLAH keep guiding and protecting us from all satanic influences_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

The questions of the grave?

 The questions of the grave? Alhamdulillah, every Muslim should have belief that there is questions in the grave. As reported in hadith of the trials of the grave like that of the dajjal Two angels that will appear to.

This was revelated concerning the torment in the grave. It will be said to him (the deceased: 'Who is your Lord?' and he will say: 'My Lord isAllah and my Prophet is Muhammad.

As Time passes

 ╔✽̤̥̈̊‎​​ As Time passes ✽̤̈̊╗ Abdullah bin Mas’ud & said: “Indeed I hate to see a man idle, neither working for this world nor for the Hereafter.”  Hasan Basri sé said: “O son of Adam, indeed you are only but a number of days.
