The Garden of Guidance. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: “And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.” (71:10) "He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers, And provide you with wealth and children." “And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.” (71:12) “What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity” (71:13) And on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever persistently seeks forgiveness, Allah will grant him relief from every worry, a way out of every hardship, and will provide for him from where he does not expect." A benefit regarding the fruits of seeking forgiveness: It is an eraser of sins, a means for increasing provision, a means for being blessed with offspring, a cause for opening the heart and removing anxiety, and a safeguard against punishment and famine. How astonishing is an act of worship that encompasses all human aspirations, yet is abandoned by so many tongues!
