Why do we seek Forgiveness from Allah?
So, why do we need to seek forgiveness from Allah? Do you have any idea? You sure have an answer. There can be various reasons for this according to everyone’s needs. Everyone must want to be forgiven by Allah, but they have different motives behind it. Because, as humans, we do things when we want or get something in return.
There are some common reasons for seeking Allah’s forgiveness, but why do we need Allah’s forgiveness? When we commit some sins, firstly, we do not recognise their effect on our life. And the time when we understand and realise it, we know that we need to seek Allah’s forgiveness. Because if we become a bad person, then Allah may not accept us.
Bad deeds have bad effects on our lives. If we do something bad to someone, it will come back to us. When things get worse in our lives, we seek help and forgiveness from Allah to get his protection from all the things that are affecting our lives.
