'''Istighfār''' (Arabic: الإستغفار) is to ask [[God]] to forgive one's sins. It does not merely consist in the recitation of sentences such as "اللّهمَ إغفِرلی" (God! Forgive me!), rather it is a true feeling of return to God and [[repentance]] for one's wrongdoings with a determination not to commit them again. Istighfar is not restricted to ordinary, fallible people; even the [[Prophethood|prophets]] asked for divine forgiveness. [[The Prophet Muhammad (s)]] was commissioned by God to ask for divine forgiveness for himself and for other believers, as an [[intercession]] for divine mercy. | '''Istighfār''' (Arabic:{{inlineArabic| الإستغفار}}) is to ask [[God]] to forgive one's sins.

The concept of asking for divine forgiveness has repeatedly appeared in the [[Qur'an]] in different forms. Istighfar does not have to occur at a special time or place and it is usually accepted by God. However, according to the Qur'an and [[hadith]]s, there are times and places in which istighfar will be more likely accepted by God. | The concept of asking for divine forgiveness has repeatedly appeared in the [[Qur'an]] in different forms.
