The many ways to ask for Allah's forgiveness

I would like to share with you only some of the many ways for Allah to forgive your sins, whether in past or in the future. Of course, we're as a human being cannot escape from doing sins, those that we are aware of, and of course those that we're not aware of. But will our 5 daily prayers would be enough to forgive all of our sins? Will Allah forgive for all the sins that we have done, whether it's a major sins or minor sins. We do not know. It all depends on our SINCERITY masa kitani berdu'a. Even our daily prayers itself, some of it are in the form of Du'a. If not Du'a is puji pujian bagi Allah. 

In Solat/Salah/Sembahyang

Let's take for example, 6th verse of Surah Al-Fatihah - "ihdinassirotal mustaqim" - "Tunjukkanlah kami ke jalan yang lurus (benar). Another one is bacaan semasa duduk antara dua sujud - "rabbigh firli warhamni" = "Ya Tuhanku! Ampunkanlah dosaku dan rahmatkan aku". These are Du'a, and by knowing the meaning we should be able to feel Khusyuk and really feel that we need His forgiveness. 

In Dzikir - before you sleep

There are many Dzikir that you can recite on a daily basis. For example, before we sleep we can recite "Astaghfirullah halladzim alladzi la ilaha illa huwalhayyul qayyum wa atubu ilai ih" - siapa yang membaca sebelum tidur, nescaya Allah akan menghapuskan dosanya, walau banyaknya seperti buih-buih di laut. MASHA ALLAH!! Guys just take a moment and remember this dzikir because it's just too easy! You say Allah is Ar-Rahman (Maha Pemurah), now tell me how pemurah Allah Subhana Wata'ala atu! It's just beyond our imagination!  This is one quick reminder for you and for myself betapa Pemurahnya Allah atu. We Dzikir is actually part of our wirid if you don't realise it! so you should know it by now.

In Dzikir - before Asar prayer and after Asar prayer

Alhamdulillah who wants to know a secret which you can practice that would clear your sins the past 7 days or your next 7 days? An Ustaz told me a treasure in the form of information. He said to me by reciting these Dzikir 70 times, Allah will forgive your sins the last 7 days and also your future 7 days (from the day you recite the Dzikir) insya Allah.


 Sins from past 7 days will be forgiven insya Allah by reciting:
Astaghfirullah hal adzim (70 times) - Before Asar prayer


Sins for the next 7 days will be forgiven insya Allah by reciting:
KhasbunAllah wani'mal wakhil (70 times) - After Asar prayer


For now thats all i can remember for ways that would clear our sins, the practical way.  In the mean time i need your input on this to put more stuff so that you can share with me and others and i will post it up here. Barang ani barang bepahala - ingat Sabda Rasulullah (S.A.W)? 


"Sebarkanlah ajaranku walau satu ayat pun"

"Nescaya Allah memperbaiki bagimu amalan-amalanmu dan mengampuni bagimu dosa-dosamu. Dan barangsiapa mentaati Allah dan Rasul-Nya, maka sesungguhnya ia telah mendapat kemenangan yang besar." (Surah Al- Ahzab:71)
