*A Means of Preventing Punishment*
Allah ﷻ says in Surah Al-Anfal
*وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمۡ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمۡۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ*
_But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness._
[8:33]
Single out your repentance to Allāh ﷻ and be excessive in it, it will prevent the punishment of Allāh ﷻ.
Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله says:
_"Allāh ﷻ informs us in this ayah that He will not punish one who repents."_
_
Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه comments on this Ayah, "They had two safety shelters: the Prophet ﷺ, and their seeking forgiveness (from Allah). The Prophet ﷺ went away, and only seeking forgiveness remained."
_
Uqbah ibn ‘Amir reported:
A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, “O Messenger of Allah, one of us has committed a sin.” The Prophet said, “It will be written against him.” The man said, “Then he has sought forgiveness and repented.” The Prophet said, “He will be forgiven and his repentance accepted.” The man said, “Then he returns to committing a sin.” The Prophet said, “It will be written against him.” The man said, “Then he has sought forgiveness and repented.” The Prophet said, “He will be forgiven and his repentance accepted. Allah will not tire of forgiveness unless you are tired of asking.”
[Al-Mu’jam al-Awsat 8918, Grade: Sahih according to Ibn Hajar]
_
سبحان الله
Increase in Istighfaar!
The Prophet ﷺ would engage in Istighfaar 100+ times a day!
He ﷺ was sinless, and when asked He ﷺ replied "Should I not be a grateful slave?"
[Bukhari]
_
Such a simple act
Just keep saying استغفر الله and other duas of Istighfar
_
How hard is that?
Such easy 'Amal that can consequently save us from the biggest punishment!
_
Abu Umamah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
_“Verily, the angel on the left side will raise his pen over the error or sin of a Muslim servant for six hours. If he sincerely regrets it and seeks forgiveness from Allah, the angel will throw it aside. Otherwise, he will record it as one sin.”_
[Al-Mu’jam al-Kabir 7765, Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani]
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who are repentant and protect us from His punishment.

Tawbah - A Gift From Allah
Tawbah - A Gift From Allah
We can only make tawbah if Allah allows us to do so (tawfīq). Allah turns towards us first, after which we turn to Him in repentance; and then He accepts our repentance.
Allah says,
ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوْبُوٓا إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ
“…Then He turned towards them, so that they may repent.
Surely, Allah is the Acceptor of repentance, the Very Merciful” (9:118).
Sometimes Shayṭān may delude us into thinking that we still have time, and that we will make tawbah in the latter part of our lives. However, there is no guarantee for life. We should make tawbah today, so that we do not regret it when it is too late. It has been said that if the deceased in the grave were able to communicate with us, they would tell us that their greatest desire would be to be able to return to the world, even for a fraction of a moment, and make sincere tawbah to Allah (ʿazza wa jall).
“The best day in a servant’s life is undoubtedly the day in which he turns to Allah in repentance, and Allah accepts His repentance” – Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh)

A man came to Sheikh Abdul Aziz Ibn Baz complaining that he wishes to have a child and that has been waiting for seven years but no luck……. Sheikh Ibn Baz answered him with one sentence, he said: Increase Istighfaar (Asking Allah for forgiveness by saying AstaghfiruLLAH). After one year this man came back to Sheikh Ibn Baz and said: Ya Sheikh I got the child I wanted Alhamdulilah.
A man came to the famous Al Hassan Al Basri and said: The sky is not raining. Al Hassan said: IstaghfiriLLAH. Another man walked in and said to Al Hassan: I suffer from poverty. Al Hassan answered: IstaghfiriLLAH. Then another man walked in and said to Al Hassan: My wife does not bare children. Al Hassan said: IstaghfiriLLAH. The people who were present at the Majlis of Al Hassan said: how come every time someone comes to you with an issue you just say IstaghfiriLLAH!!!
Al Hassan answered: Didn’t you read the words of Allah when he says:
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا (10) يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا (11) وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهَارًا﴾
Translation: And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers, And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers. [71:10-12]
Allahu Akbar, all this is just in Dunia…..what about the Akhirah!!? Isn’t it enough that Istighfaar protects the believer from the punishment.
Allah promised not to punish us for our mistakes in two conditions, the first: while the Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him is among us and we all know that chance is no longer valid. The second condition was seeking forgiveness Allah says:
﴿وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
Translation: But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness [8:33]
So this is a promise from the Lord of heavens and earths, what more do you need to start implementing this in your life?
The fourth Khalifa of Islam Ali Bin Abi Taleb may Allah be pleased with him said: It is surprising to see someone perish while he has the tool of survival, they said: what is it? He said: Al Istighfaar.
So never leave Istighfaar my dear sister and brother. The Prophet peace be upon him said: Fortunate is the person who finds in his record of deeds a lot of Istighfaar. Imagine when you come on the Day of Judgment while you are terrified and everyone is so scared and you find mountains of hassanat waiting for you because of your Istighfaar….
#Istighfar relieves you. When you feel that sadness within you, when you are disturbed and frustrated, when anxiety surrounds you, say “Astaghfirullah” “Astaghfirullah”…
Reciting #Astaghfiruallah is an effective method of calming our self and wipes away the variety of worldly worries from our mind and body. It may also help us, if we are suffering from depression, it calm us and lessen our depression.
Not only that, listen to this #hadith and rest assured that all your issues and problems will go away because of Istighfar
Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
“If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not.” [Abu Dawud].
In another hadith, Abdullah bin Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:
“The one who (regularly) says Istighfaar, that is, frequently repent to Allah Ta’aala for sins committed, Allah Azza Wa-Jal will open a path from poverty and difficulties. All sorrow and hardship will be removed, and in its place prosperity and contentment granted. One will receive sustenance from unimagined and unexpected sources.”
Here are more ayaat from the #Quran with great promises from #Allah (swt):
Then, verily! Your Lord for those who do evil (commit sins and are disobedient to Allâh) in ignorance and afterward repent and do righteous deeds, verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [An-Nahl 16:119]
Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance. [Al-Isra 17:25]
And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). [Ta-Ha 20:82]
So start from now on my dear sister and brother and make it a habit every day, seek forgiveness as much as you can, do it while you are sitting, while you are in bed, while you are working, while you are driving…..it does not cost you anything and you don’t even have to do any physical effort #SubhanAllah, Allah is so merciful to us he excepts the least from us. Start now, start today and watch your life changing.

Istigfaar is a great reason for forgiveness.
Verily Istigfar means supplication for forgiveness, and the supplication of the fasting individual is answered while he is fasting, and at the time of breaking the fast.
Hasan Al Basri said:
Increase in you seeking of forgiveness, for verily you don’t know when the mercy of Allah will befall you.
Luqman said to his son:
Oh my son, condition your tongue to constantly seek forgiveness from Allah. Verily Allah has specific hours that He does not reject supplication.

Answered by our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahmān Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - on the 27th, Muharram, 1443H
📥Question:
The questioner is asking about the hadith 'Allaah doesn't accept the repentance of a slave who disbelieved after accepting Islaam'?
📥Answer:
This is if he dies upon kufr,
(وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ)
"And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever."
[Al-Baqarah: 217]
The Hadith Allaah doesn't accept the repentance of a slave who disbelieved after accepting Islaam is upon this (meaning), whoever apostated and died upon kufr, his tawbah is not accepted, the meaning is Allaah will not bestow repentance upon him
Untill His statement;
(وَلَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌۚ )
"Nor of those who die while they are disbelievers."
[An-Nisaa: 18]
i.e Allaah will not bestow his mercy upon them.
As for the Hadith ;
أَبَى اللهُ أن يقبلَ عملَ صاحبِ بدعةٍ ، حتى يَدَعَ بدعتَه
"Allaah doesn't accept the repentance of the perpetrator of bid'ah until he leaves his bid'ah"
i.e he won't be granted success to it, as for if he's granted success to it, it's accepted. Allaah accepts the tawbah of a Kaafir or not if he repents;
(قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِن يَنتَهُوا۟ يُغْفَرْ لَهُم مَّا قَدْ سَلَف)َ
"Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven."
[Al-Anfaal: 38]
And likewise the mubtadi's tawbah is accepted, but verily Allaah doesn't grant him success, we ask Allaah for Aafiyah, we seek refuge with Allaah from bid'ah.
The mubtadi' is not granted success to tawbah. Imaam Ahmed said he's not granted success to it, and a number of the people of knowledge said that he's not granted success.
So beware BaarakAllaah Feek upon yourselves from hizbiyyah and bid'ah, it's bid'ah! For verily you see many people falling into bid'ah and hizbiyyah and you say the proof is clear infront of the man, what's wrong with him that he doesn't fear Allaah, he wasn't granted success.
We ask Allaah for success upon His obedience.
You find he's not granted success. And tawbah amongst the people of sin is more than the people of bid'ah, more than it.
Rather perhaps he increase in evil, if he innovates or opposes, he increase in evil, and the proof for that is the statement of the Prophet ﷺ;
تَجَارَى بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الأَهْوَاءُ
"Dominated by desires"
Ya'nee it starts of small then it increases, he's pushed towards evil, and he's pushed more and he extends more, and the Shaytaan follows him more, we ask Allaah for safety;
(فَأَتْبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِين)َ
"So Shaitan (Satan) followed him up, and he became of those who went astray."
[Al-A'raaf: 175]
i.e he seek dominance over him more, I add to this the Hadith;
أَقْوَامٌ تَجَارَى بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الأَهْوَاءُ كَمَا يَتَجَارَى الْكَلْبُ لِصَاحِبِهِ " . وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو " الْكَلْبُ بِصَاحِبِهِ لاَ يَبْقَى مِنْهُ عِرْقٌ وَلاَ مَفْصِلٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَهُ " .
"People who will be dominated by desires like rabies which penetrates its patient until there remains no vein nor joint except it penetrates it.”
So the beginning of his affair is simple easy, then the condition gets worse for him then the Shaytaan follows him up, and the desire penetrate him until perhaps he's prevented from tawbah.
So we ask Allaah to be in Aafiyah of all of that, we ask Allaah for Salaamah and Aafiyah, and to take our souls while we are upon Islaam and the Sunnah.
Some of them say I'm going to stand in enmity against this Da'wah, I'm against this Da'wah, by Allaah there's no problem, by Allaah there's no problem man, for indeed every forsaker has enmity to it, whoever shows enmity towards it Allaah shows enmity towards him;
من عادى لي ولياً فقد آذنته بالحرب
"Whoever shows enmity to a waliy of mine I declare war on him."
The meaning is you want to wage war against the Lord of the worlds and showing enmity towards the righteous, this is no problem, the problem is on you, and noone showed enmity to the Da'wah or harmed it or rejected it or caused fitnah for the truth and it's people except a person whom Allaah intended evil for, as long as Allaah doesn't submerse him in His mercy and he repents, and it will fall back on him in a worst condition;
(إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَاۚ)
(And We said): "If you do good, you do good for your ownselves, and if you do evil (you do it) against yourselves."
[Al-Israa': 7]
So upon a Muslim is to be gentle to himself and seek refuge from decrease after increase, and it's not allowed for him to show enmity or harm a believer/believers, don't show enmity font cause harm without due right there's no need.
The point of benefit is there's no problem, the enmity of the people of falsehood in all it's forms is no problem;
(إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٰفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ۗ)
"Truly, Allah defends those who believe."
[Al-Hajj: 38]
Abu Jahl stood (in enmity), Abu Lahb stood, Abu Lahb is the relative of the Prophet ﷺ and with that he showed enmity him and his wife and stood with the upmost harm, they didn't harm;
(لَن يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّآ أَذًى)ۖ
They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance;
[Aal-Imraan: 111]
Verily the harms goes back on the person of fitnah;
(وَتَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ)
"And you may have to taste the evil (punishment in this world) of having hindered (men) from the Path of Allaah, and yours will be a great torment (i.e. the Fire of Hell in the Hereafter)."
[An-Nahl: 94]
The magicians with the severity of their fitnah didn't do anything, magicians, and they didn't do anything by the permission of Allaah;
(وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِۦ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّه)ِۚ
"But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's Leave."
[Al-Baqarah: 102]
A magician!, magician!, so what about other than him?
The summary is be upon Istiqaamah and relax yourself, and know that Allaah is you Waliy;
ٱللَّهُ وَلِىُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۖ
"Allaah is the Waliy (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light."
[Al-Baqarah: 257]
So the guardianship of Allaah to you O believer, be upon Istiqaamah and relax yourself,
من عادى لي ولياً فقد آذنته بالحرب
"Whoever shows enmity to a waliy of mine I declare war on him."
Allaah's Angels are with you,
(إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَقَٰمُوا۟ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ وَأَبْشِرُوا۟ بِٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ) ○ (نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَآؤُكُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِۖ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِىٓ أَنفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُون)َ
"Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is Allah (Alone)," and then they Istaqamu, on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised! "We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter."
[Fussilat: 30-31]
What can you do, Allaah's Angels are with you, if the Istiqaamah of of a person is correct and his uprightness, then he is in the protection of Allaah, Allaah will protect you, and Allaah's Angels protect by the command of Allaah;
(لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَٰتٌ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّه)ِۗ
"For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah."
[Ar-Ra'd: 11]
