Communicating with the divine can take
various forms; among these, the most powerful heart-to-heart
conversation is found in the spiritually-potent whispered
prayer known as Munaajaat Sha’baaniyyah. What follows in
this piece is a glimpse of the concept of forgiveness in the
whispered prayer, and a description of its various forms, that
is, the various types of seeking forgiveness and accepting an
apology, as well the reasons for why people accept apologies
from one another. Lastly, how to address Allah when
seeking repentance will be addressed. Our asking for
forgiveness from Him should be such that we plead with
Him until He accepts our apology. If a person wants Allah’s
forgiveness and mercy we are to manifest this trait of Allah –
the Oft-Forgiver – within ourselves; and in order for Allah to
forgive us, then we need to forgive others as well
