Usama Canon – You Better Be Doing a Lot of Istighfar Asking for Penitence

And he used to say, Oh Allah, did

you not promise me that you would not

punish them وَأَدَ فِيهِمْ and I am amongst

them.

Oh Allah, did you not promise me that

you would not punish them وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ and

they're seeking forgiveness.

And this is why one of our early

Muslims, our predecessor said, we had two guarantees

against the punishment of Allah.

One of them was the physical presence of

the Prophet ﷺ amongst us.

And the other is saying, أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهِ The

other is distant thought.

And we have lost that one outwardly, the

first one.

Not to say that the Prophet ﷺ is

not amongst us in a figurative or in

a broader meaning, but physically the Prophet ﷺ.

So he said, what?

So you better do a lot of this

to follow.
