Begging for Forgiveness and ‘Aafiyat (ease)

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

We need to constantly beg Allah Ta’ala for forgiveness and ‘aafiyat (ease) in all matters. Even if a person has not committed sins, the istighfaar is still of benefit for him since it will be recorded as an act of virtue and he will be rewarded for it. ‘Aafiyat (ease) is the most comprehensive favour of Allah Ta’ala after Imaan, and since we require ease in all our deeni and worldly matters, we should ask Allah Ta’ala for it.
