Ask Allah daily for guidance and forgiveness

“Every day, after every salah, in every salah, we should be asking Allah.”

The khateeb, at 18:57

In one sentence

Because every blessing, guidance, and forgiveness comes from Allah, believers should avoid oppression, practice sincere repentance and gratitude, and ask Allah continually.

  2. Guidance comes from Allah, so believers should seek it humbly through prayer.
  3. Food, water, and clothing are blessings from Allah, prompting gratitude and concern for those lacking necessities.
  4. Allah forgives sins when repentance is sincere, while sins and good deeds ultimately affect the person, not Allah.

For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that Allah never wrongs anyone and commands us not to oppress one another. Our guidance, food, water, clothing, and every opportunity to do good are blessings from Allah, so we should respond with gratitude and humility. Allah forgives those who sincerely seek forgiveness, while our good and bad actions ultimately affect us, not Allah. We should regularly examine ourselves, correct our mistakes, and ask Allah for guidance, forgiveness, and our needs. Keeping this daily connection with Allah helps us grow in love, hope, and awareness of Him.

  1. How can we show gratitude for something ordinary we received today?
  2. What is one way we can avoid hurting or oppressing someone this week?
  3. What would you ask Allah for if you remembered to ask every day?
