Jummah Khutba Feedback (24.04.09)

I prayed Jummah at the East London Mosque today and Sheikh Abul Husain’s khutba was based on the topic of Istighfar and the ways in which we should seek the forgiveness of Allah azza wa Jal. We know that when we transgress and commit sin, we must repent to Allah SWT and we must be sincere when it comes to repentance. There are a few verses that talk about this:

And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins--Who forgiveth sins save Allah only?--and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did. Surah Al Imran (135)
