The Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasize the great virtues of Istighfar. Regularly seeking forgiveness helps in attaining mercy, inner peace, blessings in sustenance, and relief from difficulties. It strengthens a believer’s relationship with Allah and serves as a powerful means of repentance and self-purification.
