The meaning of Astaghfirullah & The power of Istighfar By Omar Suleiman

ISTIGHFAR IMPORTANCE AND BENEFITS
Istghfar is an Arabic word that means “Smeking forgiveness”. The phrase is used by Muslims for seeking forgiveness of their sins from ALLAH (SWT). When a Muslim is apologetic for their sins or they want to ask for forgiveness from the creator of the world -ALLAH (SWT) they do ISTAGHFAR because this is the only way to please ALLAH and ask forgiveness from ALLAH for their sins.
ISTAGHFAR IN ISLAM
ASTAGHFAR is not only done by normal human beings like us but it was also done by the prophets and their companions who were already very pious and protected themselves from bad deeds but still, they used to do ISTAGHFAR and seek forgiveness of ALLAH (SWT) all the time.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:
“Indeed I ask Allah for forgiveness seventy times a day.”
These words are said by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) who was purest of all and free from all sorts of sins, who was assured by ALLAH (SWT) to be in Jannah but still He (PBUH) was scared of ALLAH and used to ask forgiveness from ALLAH (SWT) all the time.
