*O ALLAH FORGIVE ME* *O Allah forgive me today for not being able to pray Jum’ah this Friday as it was ordained by your Qur-aan.**O Allah forgive me for praying Jum’ah in my home today, and not in masjid as  before.**O Allah forgive me for praying Zohr today in my home and not Jum’ah as usual.**O Allah forgive me as an imaam dwelling in the masjid complex and yet i saw only walls and empty space in your house.**O Allah forgive me, because such a Friday has come because of my sins.**O Allah forgive me to have been an ungrateful servant of your ni’mats of walking freely to masjid for Jum’ah.**O Allah, forgive our shortcomings and accept our efforts of Jum’ah/Zohr as a normal virtous Jum’ah day.**O Allah forgive me for not being thankful enough such that we have lost many of your ni’mats of deen.**O ALLAH ACCEPT OUR EFFORTS AND REWARD US AN ACCEPTED GLORIOUS JUM’AH BY YOU.* *Ameen.**Reported in Tirmizi that when Sahabahs r.a. faced compelling conditions against sunnah, then they would try to turn as much as possible towards the sunnah and then they would do istighfaar for the compelling conditions surrounding them.*
 حدثنا سعيد بن عبد الرحمن المخزومي حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة عن الزهري عن عطاء بن يزيد الليثي عن أبي أيوب الأنصاري قال قال رسول الله ﷺ إذا أتيتم الغائط فلا تستقبلوا القبلة بغائط ولا بول ولا تستدبروها ولكن شرقوا أو غربوا قال أبو أيوب فقدمنا الشام فوجدنا مراحيض قد بنيت مستقبل القبلة فننحرف عنها ونستغفر اللهسنن الترمذي
*So we say Astaghfirullah Astaghfirullah for living such a Jum’ah like today and again do Astaghfirullah Astaghfirullah so that Allah Ta’ala forgive our sins to enable us living Jum’ahs like how Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam left us with the treasure of the best of days, better than Eid also.**Wake up early morning in tahajjud and keep Astaghfirullah in ruku n sajdah of nafil tahajjud. And at sehri times, whisper with your Lord with Astaghfirullah Astaghfirullah, O ALLAH FORGIVE ME.*
