THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 2nd day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Tuesday 12th March 2024). *_WHAT’s THE DIFFERENCE between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )?_* BismilLah.
AlhamdulilLah, for granting us the opportunity to be part of 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. *_As we do each year, I want us to support the poor and the needy during this blessed month, so please send your support on my Ghana MTN mobile money number 0244220273 Yakubu Adam_*. Be part of this beautiful loan to ALLAH.
*_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
