And how to make istighfar ? Do I say a dua or :astag:
:salam2:
making istighfar is simple really...like I said you either hold prayer beads and repeat *astaghfiruallah*...or...*asthaghfiruallah al 'atheem*...or...*astaghfiruallah wa 'atubu ilayh*...however many times you wish...or you can do it on your fingers...for its benefit like I mentioned to you earlier...
another thing I forgot to tell you about...and this you can do at any time...but I think it would be nice to do it at the time after Qiyam Prayer is to make Salawat upon the Prophet (pbuh)...just say *Allahoma salli wa sallem ala sayidina mohammad*...repeatedly...again on prayer beads...or on your fingers...
I read a hadith in which the prophet (pbuh) has said...*if one of you sent Salawat upon me 100 times a day...Allah accomplishes/grants him 30 matters which he seeks in this dunya...and leaves 70 matters for his akhirah*...(that's how I remember it)
and if you want to make dua'a for anything...the best times are:
1. after saying *samea'a allaho liman hamida* when you stand up from ruku'u
2. during sojood
3. immediately after the last tashah'hud...before you say your salams to conclude the prayer
there are many many more...but these are the best times "during" prayers
Inshallah I have benefited you...and again if you have any questions please let me know...
