In this video, we explain the important difference between apologizing to people (such as parents, family, and friends) and seeking forgiveness from Allah. While saying "I'm sorry" or "Asif" is appropriate for human interactions, when turning to Allah in repentance, we follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ by using proper Du'a and Istighfar—such as: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ (Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilayh — I seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him) سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ (Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu alla ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk) 🔔 Subscribe to OneWayToParadise for authentic Islamic reminders, family discussions, and beneficial knowledge. #Islam #Istighfar #Sunnah #Allah #OneWayToParadise #IslamicReminders
