Does the reward increase by repeating "Astaghfirullah" (I seek forgiveness from God)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty commanded frequent remembrance of Him without specifying a limit, and this includes seeking forgiveness. The reward for remembrance and seeking forgiveness increases with its increase. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to seek Allah's forgiveness more than seventy times in a single sitting, and he said: "O people, turn to Allah in repentance, for I turn to Him in repentance one hundred times a day." Whoever increases their seeking of forgiveness or adheres to it, Allah will grant them relief, a way out, and provide for them from where they do not expect.
