Dua that cleanses from sins and mistakes. Is it allowed to make dua for the forgiveness of all sins to all Muslims and Muslim women? Refusing to re-commit this sin

Ibn Hajar was asked a question to which [others] gave two different answers.

The question was:

“Is it allowed to make a dua that believing men and women will be forgiven of all sins and that they will be freed from Hell? And the first answer is: "Not allowed." Imam Ibn Abdussalam and Imam al-Kurafi (Malikites) replied that it is not allowed to make such a dua, because we are so contrary to the words of Allah and the hadith of His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that among them (believers) there are those who will enter Hell.

As for the prayer for the forgiveness of sins in the words of Allah Almighty in the story of the prophet Nuh, peace be upon him:

{رب اغفر لي ولوالدي ولمن دخل بيتي مؤمنا وللمؤمنين والمؤمنات}

Meaning: “O Lord, forgive the sins of me, my parents and those who enter my house, believing, as well as believing men and women”, - and the like, then she came in the form of a verb during the dua and does not have the meaning of generalization, because the verbs are in the indefinite form and, perhaps, they mean, for example, all the believers of that time.

Others replied that it is permissible to make such a dua for several reasons. First: the imams, may Allah be pleased with them, said that it is desirable (sunnah) for khatib to make dua to believing men and women. Second reason: Imam al-Mustagfiri narrated from Abu Hurairah, and he - from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

ما من دعاء أحب إلى الله من قول العبد اللهم اغفر لأمة محمد رحمة عامة

« There is no dua more beloved to Allah than the words of a slave: “O my Allah, forgive the sins of the ummah of Muhammad with a common Mercy”».

So it is written in Al-Ujala and in other well-known books. The third reason: Sheikh Sharafuddin al-Burmavi was asked about whether it is possible to ask for the forgiveness of all sins and that [believers] not be placed for interrogation? And he replied: “It is possible to ask Allah for the forgiveness of all sins. Indeed, Allah can be pleased with those people who deserve it, and free the one who asks from debts to Allah and people. As for the dua about not being placed for interrogation (i.e., in the area of ​​Arasat for a report), then this is a request for the impossible and you cannot ask for it. On the contrary, one should ask Allah to ease him [hardships] in this place.

Which of these opinions is correct?

Sheikh Ibn Hajar al-Haytami (may Allah have mercy on him) replied:

Indeed, it is forbidden to make a dua to free all believers from Hell, moreover, it is kufr, because it exposes the sacred texts as a lie, indicating that some of the believing sinners will certainly enter Hell. As for the prayer for the forgiveness of all sins, if a person means by this a request to free all believers from Hell, then we have already said the Hukm. If he means forgiveness, from which follows the alleviation of sins by one and the forgiveness of sins by others, or simply made such a dua, without any intention, then there is nothing forbidden in this. If you ask why it is possible with the above intention, then this is already clear. And as for the permissibility of such a dua without any intention, then [it is allowed] because from such a dua does not follow complete cleansing from sins, since such a dua is used both in this sense and in the sense of alleviating sins. Moreover, if a person makes a dua: “O my Allah, forgive all the sins of all believers,” and makes the intention that he asks to forgive the sins of one and relieve others, then this is also allowed. But if the intention is that no one is taken to Hell, then such a dua cannot be made.

If a person says in dua: “Forgive all Muslims all sins,” and does this without any intention or with the intention of freeing everyone from Hell, this is haram. If by this he wanted to ease [the severity of sins] for some, then so be it. The difference between these two examples is clear from the above.

Indeed, Allah commanded His Prophet Muhammad to seek forgiveness for believing men and women:

{واستغفر لذنبك }

Meaning: " Ask forgiveness for your sin”(Sura “Gafir”, ayat 55), -

as well as:

{وللمؤمنين والمؤمنات}

«… and believing men and women(Sura Nuh, verse 28).

Therefore, it is necessary to attribute the words of Ibn Abdussalam and his student al-Kurafi to what I have explained.

So, we have learned: the generalization of the first answer is prohibition, and the answer of the second is permissibility, and this is wrong. And the fact that the second one cited the hadeeth from al-Mustagfiri as an argument is also wrong, because the common Grace does not mean the forgiveness of all sins in the sense of cleansing from all of them. Indeed, from Ibn Masud, may Allah be pleased with both of them, it was transmitted:

» إن لله رحمة على أهل النار فيها «

« Indeed, the Grace of Allah Almighty is over the inhabitants of Hell in Hell- because Allah could punish them even more than they are punished. Allah Almighty also said:

{وما أرسلناك إلا رحمة للعالمين}

« We did not send you except as a mercy to the worlds”(Sura Al-Anbiya, verse 107). Therefore, in the message of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), there is mercy for his enemies, namely, that they are not punished immediately. Allah, Holy and Great is He, knows best.

(From the book "Al-Fatawa al-Hadisiya" (pp. 86-88). Damascus: Dar at-Takwa, 2008).

Sayyidul-Istighfar is the most perfect prayer of repentance, uniting all duas. Turning to the Almighty with a prayer for forgiveness, believers confirm their faith in the One Lord, loyalty to the oaths given to Him, praise and thank the Lord for the blessings bestowed and ask to protect the mistakes made from evil.

The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “If someone sincerely, believing with all his heart in the power and significance of this prayer, reads it during the day and dies before evening, then he will enter Paradise. If someone, sincerely believing with his heart in the power and significance of this prayer, reads it at night and dies before morning, he will enter Paradise.

Translation: “O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god but You worthy of worship. You created me and I am Your servant. And I try to the best of my ability to keep the oath of obedience and loyalty to You. I seek Your protection from the evil of what I have done, I acknowledge the mercy You have shown me, and I acknowledge my sin. Forgive me, for truly, no one forgives sins except You!

“Praise the praise of your Lord and ask Him for forgiveness. Verily, He is the One who accepts repentance.”

Holy Koran. Sura 110 "An-Nasr" / "Help", verse 3

“Ask Allah for forgiveness, for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”

Holy Koran. Sura 73 "Al-Muzzammil" / "Wrapped up", ayat 20

Everything can be corrected!

1. You have sinned, the guilt before the Almighty does not give you peace, you do not know what to do, how to live on?

First, do not get emotional, treat the situation reasonably. Allah Almighty created human nature imperfect, we cannot but commit sins, this is our integral part. The hadith says: “I swear by Allah, thanks to the power and will of which I live! If you did not commit sins, then Allah Almighty would replace you with another people who would commit sins, and then ask for forgiveness from Allah. And Allah would have forgiven them (thus showing that Allah is Forgiving).

The very first thing you need to do after committing a sin is to accept and acknowledge your sin. Many people do forbidden things without even knowing that they are doing something wrong. Awareness of your sin is already a sign of faith in your soul, a rejection in your heart of what is unpleasant to the Almighty. If you turn a blind eye to your sins, they will follow one after another, so that a person simply ceases to distinguish between good and bad. You have committed a sin, but do not despair! The mercy of Allah is so limitless that everything can be corrected! Allah has given the keys to his forgiveness. Now you need to "work on the bugs" and fix everything.

2. Do not tell anyone about your sin. Allah hides our sins by his mercy, they remain only between us and the Almighty. And this is good. Your sin is something that you have to decide between yourself and Allah. There are no intermediaries between the Almighty and man, and there is no point in revealing one's sins to people. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught: “All members of my community will be spared, except for those who declare their sins publicly. Such people include a person who sinned at night, but Almighty Allah covered his sin, and in the morning he himself says: “Oh such and such! I have committed such a sin." And it turns out that he spends the night under the cover of his Lord, and in the morning throws off the cover of Allah.

3. Realize the perniciousness of your sin Just think about all that your momentary weakness, your impulse, your nafs, your mistake has deprived you of. Count all that you have lost because of your sin. The most important of this is that you have done something with which Allah Almighty is displeased. Sins deprive us of our inheritance, reduce our livelihood, distance us from Allah, His mercy. Besides, one sin leads to another. Considering all this, hate with all your heart that deed that deprived you of so many benefits and complicated your situation.

4. Stop committing this sin The most important "practical" work on your mistake is to stop doing that which moves you away from the pleasure of Allah. After all, there is no point in repentance, or in anything else, until a person ceases to do what is not good. The hadith says: “It can be considered that the one who says:“ I ask forgiveness of Allah ”and then returns (to what he did) is lying.” “The one who repents of a sin is like one who did not commit it at all, and the one who asks for forgiveness for a sin, but continues to sin, is like one who mocks Allah.”

5. Do not despair in the mercy of Allah Your mistake - your sin - is not a reason for despondency, and despair, especially in the mercy of Allah, is a reason to become even closer to the Creator. After all, if a person walks around constantly judging and blaming himself, he will not see the meaning in life and will be ungrateful to Allah. This is a completely wrong position. Sins should upset and upset us, but should not force us to give up, but on the contrary, awaken more enthusiasm in striving to gain the pleasure of Allah. What characterizes us as believers is how we deal with our sin and how we deal with it. Even in the worst, it is important to find the good, and in this case it is an opportunity to gain the forgiveness of Allah, and learn a lesson for the rest of your life.

6. Dua of Forgiveness Take ablution and say the dua of forgiveness, which comes in many forms. These can be: Subhanaka-Llahumma wabihamdika, ashkhadu an la ilaha illa anta, astagfiruka wa atubu ilyayk (“Holy are You, O Allah, and praise be to You! I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except You, I ask You for forgiveness and offer Your repentance to you." Allahumma j'alni minal-ttawwabin waj'alni minal-mutatahhirin ("O Allah! Make me among those who repent and make me among those who purify"). Ask Allah for forgiveness in any language, at any time and place, out loud or silently. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. “Allah Almighty says: “O son of Adam, truly, I will forgive you, regardless of what sins you have committed, until you stop calling to Me and rely on Me! O son of Adam, if you commit so many sins that they reach the clouds of heaven, and then ask Me for forgiveness, then I will forgive you!

7. Perform repentance The most important step in the context of committing sins is sincere repentance and repentance. The righteous said: “True repentance is the utterance of words of repentance with the tongue, repentance of the heart and determination never to return to sin again. If a person repents in this way, Allah will forgive his sin, even if it was big. Because Allah is Forgiving. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Every son of Adam commits sins, but the best of them is the one who commits repentance.” The hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) says: "He who makes sincere repentance for his sins, as if he did not commit them." Repentance is a great blessing and joy bestowed on believers, who, even after committing the forbidden, can become absolutely pure with repentance.

8. Ask for forgiveness from the offended If your sin is related to the fact that you hurt, insulted or humiliated another person, then it is very important to ask for forgiveness from him. Our religion is amazing, it calls for peace and goodness, it does not tolerate disagreements, it is the side of harmony and tranquility. Also in this case, the offender needs to ask for forgiveness from the offended, and the offended must forgive him. This is how the precepts of Islam establish order. This becomes clear from the hadiths: “Let the one who has acted unjustly towards his brother, regarding his honor or anything else, be freed from it today, before the dinars and dirhams disappear! After all, if he has good deeds, they will be taken away from him (on the Day of Judgment) in accordance with the offense inflicted on him, and if he does not have good deeds, something from the bad deeds of the offended will be taken and placed on him. “Forgive the person who made you zulm, that is, oppression.” “Know how to forgive and make concessions. For forgiveness and indulgence only add greatness and significance to a person. And if you want Allah to exalt you, then forgive others their sins.”

9. To do good after sin “Verily, the owner of the left scroll (the angel who records bad deeds) holds up his pen over the scroll of the sinning Muslim slave for six hours. If he repented and asked for forgiveness from Allah (for the sin he committed), then he (the angel) discards this sin. Otherwise, he writes it down as one bad deed." 10. Perform tauba prayer - this is a prayer of repentance "If a person commits a sin, gets up to cleanse himself, then performs prayer and then asks Allah for forgiveness, then it cannot be that Allah does not forgive him." It is performed in the amount of two rak'ahs.

All about religion and faith - "prayer of forgiveness of sins islam" with a detailed description and photographs.

Every believing Muslim is prescribed to pray five times a day. Many of us obey the order of the Almighty and pray five times every day. But not many people know what treasures are hidden in prayer, do not know about its benefits and fruits.

With the permission of Allah, I would like to talk about six reasons associated with prayer, through the observance of which the Almighty promises to forgive us our sins. So, first reason- fulfillment of prayer in a perfect way. A Muslim should perform his prayer perfectly. In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad and in the book Sunan of Imam Nasai, a hadith is narrated from Ubadat Ibn Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: Five prayers were assigned by the Almighty to his slaves, and to the one who does a good washing of these five prayers and performs them in a timely manner, making a full bow and earth bow along with khushuom (humility), the Almighty took upon himself a promise to forgive his sins ". Just think, brothers, the Almighty has taken upon himself a promise to forgive him, and yet He, the Almighty, does not break His promises, He is holy and great!

Think, brother, do you, the servant of Allah, feel that you are performing prayer in a perfect way? This question is not without reason, because many do not care about how they perform prayer, they think, just to finish it as soon as possible. They don’t look at how they perform it, whether the Almighty is pleased with such a prayer or is dissatisfied, whether they have fully bowed and bowed to the ground or not, they don’t care about all this! So know, brother, that an important reason for the forgiveness of sins is the performance of prayer in a perfect way!

So, The second reason associated with prayer is performing ablution in the best way, and then praying in two rak'ahs, without thinking about anything extraneous.

It is reported that once ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, ordered to bring a vessel of water for himself, and when they brought it, he poured the water from this vessel into his hands three times and washed his hands three times. Then he put his right hand into this vessel, drew water, rinsed his mouth with it and washed his nose, then washed his face and hands up to the elbows three times, then ran his wet hands over his head, then washed his feet three times up to the ankles, and then said: “Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: Whoever performs a ablution similar to this ablution of mine, and then performs a prayer of two rak'ahs, without thinking about anything else, his previous sins will be forgiven ". This hadeeth was narrated by Imam Al-Bukhari.

So try, my brother, to make it habitual for yourself to perform ablution and two rak'ahs of prayer every day. After all, it will not take even ten minutes, and your past sins will be forgiven you. It can be performed during Zuh, between the Adhan and Iqamat, etc.

Third reason associated with prayer - the pronunciation of the words "Amin" after Surah Al-Fatiha. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When the imam says "Amin", say with him, truly the one whose word "Amin" was uttered along with the imam and the angels, his past sins will be forgiven "(Imams Bukhari and Muslim). Look at the immeasurable mercy of the Lord of the worlds: you utter only one word without experiencing any difficulties, you do not need to spend money, time, etc. and Allah Almighty forgives you!

Now let's ask ourselves, do we feel when we say the word "Amin" that our heart is filled with the desire to be forgiven by Allah Almighty?

Fourth reason forgiveness of sins associated with prayer is a dua (prayer) after rising from a waist bow. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When the imam uttered the words “Samia Llagyu liman hamida”, you say “Allahumma rabbana lakal hamd”, truly the one whose word is spoken along with the angels, his past sins will be forgiven ».

Fifth reason associated with prayer - collective prayer. Bukhari and Muslim narrate from Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: I was sitting next to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when suddenly a man came and said: « O Messenger of Allah, indeed I have done what I deserve to be punished for, so do it on me". Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Have you prayed with us? ", he replied: " Yes! And then the Messenger of Allah said: Indeed, the Almighty has forgiven you your sin ". Therefore, collective prayer is one of the reasons for the Almighty to forgive the sins of his slave.

The last reason for the forgiveness of sins is the recitation of the Azkars after the obligatory five prayers.. Imam Muslim reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: To the one who, after each prayer, says the words “Subhana-Llah” thirty-three times, “Alhamdu li-Llah” thirty-three times and “Allahu Akbar” thirty-three times, saying for the hundredth time: “La ilaha illallahu wah'dahu la shara lyakh, lyakhul-mulku wa lyakhul-kh'amd, wa khuva ala cooli shay-in qadir, "- his sins will be forgiven, even if they are like sea foam ". So show diligence, O servant of the Almighty, to read these easy words after each prayer!

May the Almighty help us to observe the sunnah of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and make us from among the people whom the Almighty has enveloped in his mercy and led into a blissful paradise. Amen.

The Eternal Miracle of the Prophet ﷺ - Holy Qur'an / Aliya Umerbekova

According to the Prophet ﷺ,

“A person who asks Allah will receive one of three things: either he will be immediately given what he wants, or because of this prayer his sin will be forgiven, or he will receive a reward for dua in the Hereafter.”

In the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, transmitted by Shadadd Ibni Evs, it says: “The most perfect prayer for repentance is when a slave addresses his Creator with such words”:

“Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, halyaktani wa ana abduk, wa ana a’la a’hdike wa va’dike mastata’tu. A’uzu bikya min sharri ma sanat’u, abuu lakya bi-ni’metikya ‘aleyya wa abu bizanbi fagfir lii fa-innahu la yagfiruz-zunuba illya ante.”

"My Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god but You worthy of worship. You created me. I am your slave. And I try to the best of my ability to keep the oath of obedience and loyalty to You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my mistakes and sins. I thank You for all the blessings bestowed by You, and I ask you to forgive my sins. Grant me forgiveness, for there is none but You who forgives sins."

The Prophet ﷺ said that this prayer is the most important prayer of repentance, since its content absorbs everything from this kind of prayers. Because of the deep meaning that lies in this prayer, it is called "sayidul-istigfar" - "Lord of prayers of repentance".

The Prophet ﷺ said: “If someone sincerely, believing with all his heart in the power of this prayer and its significance, reads it during the day and dies before evening, then he will enter paradise. If someone, sincerely believing with his heart in the power and significance of this prayer, reads it at night and dies before morning, he will enter paradise ”( Bukhari, Daawat, 2, 16; Ebu Dawood, Adab, 100-101; Tirmizi, Daavat 15; Nesai, Istiaz, 57).
