May Allah forgive them all. Abstain from following the self, adopt a singleness in it, then entrust yourself, even everything to Allah, and guard the door of your heart in such a way that nothing but the commands of God can enter it. And keep awake in your heart all that which Allah has commanded you, and close the entry of all that which hinders you, and the desires which you have thrown out of your heart never again. Do not let in.
Prayers for forgiveness from others.
Hazrat Sahl bin Abdullah Tastri (peace be upon him) said: Repentance means replacing reprehensible actions with praiseworthy ones and this goal cannot be achieved without seclusion and silence. To stop sinning forever with remorse is repentance, while asking for forgiveness from past sins is forgiveness. Repentance is the real thing, while the path leading to repentance is Istighfar. Allah Almighty has ordered Istighfar before repentance in Surah Hud. The divine saying is: So forgive himAsk then repent to Him. Verily, my Lord is near, He is the One who accepts prayers, as if to refrain from sins, to make a firm promise not to commit sins in the future, and to turn only to Allah is repentance, while asking for forgiveness from Allah, asking for forgiveness of sins, and crying in the presence of God. It is Istighfar to praise your Mullah by doing it. Being free from sins at all times is the attribute of angels. Being always immersed in sins is the characteristic of Satan. While regretting sins and repenting and leaving the path of sin and stepping on the highway of guidance is the characteristic of the children of Adam (peace be upon him). Satan is the open enemy of man, he tries to bring him down from humanity under the guise of his desire to reach the highest places and positions in his nature. That’s why he swore to mislead the believers until the Day of Resurrection. May Allah be our supporter and helper. Ameen.
