Question:
SALAM,
I have 2 questions. One is about salat on Prophet and other is about TASBIH HAZRAT YOUNIS(A.S)
- It is said that who read salat on prophet (pbuh) one time will get 10 good deeds, forgiveness of 10 sins and 10 ranks/stages will increase. My question is which ranks/stages are those & how many are? I heard there are 100 stages/ranks in Jannah, so what are ranks which we shall get each time to read salat on Prophet (pbuh). Please explain something about 10 ranks/stages..
- Is tasbih YOUNIS(A.S) which is called ayat Karima is also a istagfar? Can I read this instead of istafgar for forgiveness of sins?
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
They are 10 levels without specification that they refer to levels in Paradise. Also, one narration states 70. Moreover Paradise has as many levels as there are verses of Qur’an according to one hadith, so it is not 100 according to our limited understanding of that number. As for istighfar there are many ways in Qur’an and Sunna and we should try to use them all, not just one exclusively of others.
