–RadhiAllaahu anhumma- who said:
“We would count that the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– would say in one sitting one hundred times:
رَبِّ اغْفِرْليِ
وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
“O
my Lord forgive me and accept my repentance indeed You are the One who forgives
and most merciful.”

“If you knew the amount of Mercy of Allaah, the Mighty and
Majestic, you would rely upon it and you would not carry out any action from
the good deeds.
And if you knew the amount of His Anger then nothing (from your
deeds) will be of benefit to you.”

مِنْكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

Allah, I seek refuge in your good-pleasure from your anger, and in your
forgiveness from your punishment and I seek refuge in your mercy from your
wrath. I cannot reckon the praise due to you. You are as you have praised
yourself.”

ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ

Allaahu laa ‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huwal-Hayyul Qayyum, laa ta’khuthuhu sinatun wa laa nawm, lahu maa fis-samaawaati wa maa fil-‘ardh, man thal-lathee yashfa’u ‘indahu ‘illaa bi’ithnih, ya’lamu maa bayna ‘aydeehim wa maa khalfahum, wa laa yuheetoona bishay’im-min ‘ilmihi ‘illaa bimaa shaa’a, wasi’a kursiyyuhus-samaawaati wal’ardh, wa laa ya’ooduhu hifdhuhumaa, wa Huwal-‘Aliyyul-‘Adheem.
255. Allāh! Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains
and protects all that exists).Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him
belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that
can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to
them (His creatures) in this world, and
whatwill happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything
of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens
and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He
is the Most High, the Most Great.
In Al-Nasāʾī’s narration from Abū Hurairah alone, [who attributed
it to Prophet ﷺ
and said]:
Whoever says:1
لاَ إِلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ واللَّهُ أَكْبَر،
لاَ إِلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ،
لاَ إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ،
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَهُ المُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ،
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا باللَّهِ
-he
counted them as five on his fingers-and then said: “Whoever says them during a
day or during a night or in a month and then dies on that day or that night or
that month, will have his sins forgiven.”

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“When you see Allaah giving the servant from the worldly
affairs which he loves whilst he is upon disobedience, Indeed it is a gradual
punishment (leading to his destruction), the he recited:
فَلَمَّا
نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا
فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ
“So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been
reminded, We opened to them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the
midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took
them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep
regrets and sorrows.”

good character,

Helping a weak–sighted person by using your sight is charity for you. When you remove a rock, thorn and bones from the pathway it is charity for you. When you pour from your bucket into your brother’s bucket it is charity for you."

“The first matter that the people will be called to account for on the Day of Judgement from their deeds will be the Prayer. Our Lord, the Exalted, will say to the angels, though He knows better: ‘Look into the prayer of My servant and see whether he has offered it perfectly or deficiently.’ If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect. If it is deficient, He will say: ‘See if there are some optional prayers offered by My servant.’ If he has optional prayers, Allah will say: ‘Compensate the obligatory Prayers with the optional Prayers for My servant.’ Then all the actions will be accounted similarly.”
