Translation: There there no god but Allah the Clement and Wise. There is no god but Allah the High and Mighty. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Tremendous Throne. All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I ask you (O Allah) everything that leads to your mercy, and your tremendous forgiveness, enrichment in all good, and freedom from all sin. Do not leave a sin of mine (O Allah), except that you forgive it, nor any concern except that you create for it an opening, nor any need in which there is your good pleasure except that you fulfill it, O Most Merciful!
(Tirmidhi, Hadith # 477)
Allah swt has said in Quran,Your Lord has proclaimed, “Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, fully humbled.” (Quran: 40-60)
In order to invoke the mercy of Allah Taā’lā one must stay away from sins. Allah Taā’lā says in the Glorious Quran:
و من يتق الله يجعله مخرجا oويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب (سورة الطلاق, اية 2-3)
Translation: And the one who fears Allah, Allah will create for him an exit. And Allah will sustain him from where he could not imagine. (Surat-at Talāq, Ayah 2-3)
Reciting Istighfar for fulfillment of need
Istighfar removes difficulty. We wrote a detailed article onistighfar.Rasūlullāh Sallallāhu A’layhi Wa Sallam said: مَنْ لَزِمَ الاِسْتِغْفَارَ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقٍ مَخْرَجًا وَمِنْ كُلِّ هَمٍّ فَرَجًا وَرَزَقَهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَحْتَسِبُ (ابو داود, رقم الحديث 1518)
Whosoever does istighfar abundantly, Allah will create for him an exit from every narrow path, and will create for him an opening from every distress and will provide for him from where he could not imagine.
(Abu Dāwūd, Hadīth #1518)
