What’s the difference between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )? Laiela Tul Qadr Nights & Forgiveness!

 

What’s the difference between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )?


*Maghfirah*: is for Almighty Allaah to forgive you for the sin but the sin will still be registered on your book of deeds. Maghfirah is Allaah Kareem’s forgiveness for your sin but on the Judgment Day it will be written on your record, Allaah Almighty will ask you about it but HE won’t punish you because of it.


*'Afuw*: is for Allaah Kareem to forgive you for the sin and delete it from your book of deeds as if it did not happen. ‘Afuw is Allaah’s pardon for your sin, it will be completely erased from your record and Allaah Kareem won’t ask you about it on Judgement day


*This is why our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam) said that, this is the best Duaa to make on 

Layla/Laiela tul Qadr:*


*"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee"*

(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi)


*O Allaah, You are The One Who pardons greatly, and You love to pardon, so pardon me.)"*


So make sure you read this dua all the time and as much as you can. Make it one of your daily athkaar/azkaar readings.

Imagine that you are standing on the day of Judgment being held accountable for your deeds, and you're not guaranteed your entry to Jannah.

*Suddenly you find that you have mountains of Hasanat (rewards) in your record*

Do you know from where these mountains of rewards come from?


Because in the Dunya you kept saying : 

*”Subhan Allaah wa Bihamdihi Subhan Allaah al ‘Azeem”*


_The Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:_ *"Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, they are loved by Al Rahman, (The Most Merciful. One):*

سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ الْعَظِيمِ - 

*Subhan Allaahi Wa Bi Hamdihi, Subhaan-Allaahi 'l-`Azeem (Glory be to Allaah, and Praise, Glory be to Allaah, the Supreme)"*

(📚Bukhari , Muslim)


*Be the One Who Guides Others to Good Deeds.*
