In this fifth lesson discussing Habib Ahmad bin Zayn al-Habashi’s book 'Remedy for the Hearts,' Ustadh Amjad Tarsin begins the main section of the book, which looks in detail at Sayyid al-Istighfar, the preeminent formula for seeking Allah's forgiveness as taught by our beloved Messenger, blessings and peace be upon him.
Specifically, Ustadh Amjad discusses the first few affirmations in the supplication, which reveal numerous Divine Attributes and which point to several fields of Islamic Knowledge, including the covenant we took with our Lord in the Realm of Souls (Quran 7:172).
*For an in-depth and fascinating discussion on the Realm of Souls see Lesson 1 of Habib Hussein al Saqaf’s series on Imam 'Abd-Allah al-Haddad's profound work titled 'The Lives of Man.'
