`Abdullah ibn `Umar said: We counted in a single sitting the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam, saying one hundred times:…… [My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance, verily you are Acceptor of Repentance, Oft-Forgiving.] [/quote]
[blue]The above quote is in proof of the hadeeth [/blue]

[green]"I seek forgiveness one hundred times in a day."[/green]

[blue]Here it may please be noted that:

1. It was `Abdullah ibn `Umar and his companions who have COUNTED. (May Allah be Pleased with them all.)

2. This was a prayer of repentance asking forgiveness from Allah

3. The prayer was 'My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance, verily you are Acceptor of Repentance, Oft-Forgiving’

4. I wonder how this can be confused with the following statement made by you earlier [/blue]  [quote] usmani790 PAKISTAN  Posted - Saturday, February 10, 2007  -  10:29 AM

Allah's Apostle said,

"If one says one-hundred times in one day:

[i]None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things[/i]”[/quote]
[green]Please note that:

1. This is the Tawheed which was preached and practiced by all the Prophets.

2. The purpose of Allah in sending Prophets to this world was to teach this Tawheed.

3. We have been instructed to follow their example (preach and practise this principle of Tawheed.)

4. The objective cannot be achieved if you [i]‘say it in privacy of your house or as convenient’[/i][/green]

[blue]I suppose I have made clear two things.

1.	There are things to be said in private to Allah s.w.t. alone

2.	There are also things to be said in public and practised in our lives.[/blue]

[green]Please do not confuse these two types of zikr and reduce the ‘deen’ into a meaningless bundle of rituals sold in the so called ‘islamic bookshops’ which sell anything for money.

Many innocent Muslims ‘buy’ these ‘zikr books’ and dump them on the bookshelf of mosques for ‘eesal-e-sawab’
