Earning a billion is a distant thing. Even for a meagre profit we will toil and sweat for long hours, though there is no guarantee that we will enjoy the fruits of our labour. Contrary to this, the investments of the Aakhirah (Hereafter) are easy and guaranteed. It is then only our foolishness that we deprive ourselves of great investments in the Hereafter.

    

 

Among the great easy investments for the Hereafter is to seek forgiveness for the Believers. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: “ He who seeks forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women will be credited with a good deed against every Believer, man and woman.” (Tabrani) Thus if one seeks forgiveness once for everybody by saying, “O Allah, forgive all the Believers,” one will earn billions of rewards.

ACCEPTED DUAS

Furthermore, to seek forgiveness for all the Believers twenty seven times daily has a special virtue. Hazrath Abu Darda (R.A) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “If anyone prays to Allah Ta’ala twenty-seven times every day to forgive all believing men and all believing women, he will join the ranks of the close slaves of Allah whose supplication is answered and by virtue of whom Allah grants provision to the inhabitants of the world.” (Tabrani)

        

In the present era when individualism has become the norm, daily seeking forgiveness on behalf of all the Believers will insha Allah generate compassion for the Ummah in our hearts. The plight of the Ummah will then. It will instead move us to do whatever is in our capacity to improve the condition of the Ummah in Deen and dunya. not merely be a news item or just another statistic
