Tawbah, which means "repentance" in Arabic, refers to the act of turning away from sin and turning back to Allah with sincerity and remorse. It is more than just regret; it is a complete transformation of the heart and behavior. Tawbah involves feeling genuine sorrow for one's wrongdoing, immediately ceasing the sinful act, and making a firm commitment never to return to it. Additionally, if the sin harmed another person, it requires making amends by seeking their forgiveness or compensating them for any harm done. Tawbah is a profound demonstration of humility, showing that one acknowledges their mistakes and recognizes Allah's immense mercy and forgiveness.

Istighfar, on the other hand, is the act of seeking forgiveness from Allah (swt). It is often expressed through phrases like "Astaghfirullah," meaning "I seek forgiveness from Allah (swt)." Unlike tawbah, which focuses on repentance and a change of heart, istighfar is a continual practice of asking Allah (swt) to forgive both major and minor shortcomings. It serves as a spiritual cleanser, keeping the soul pure and strengthening one’s connection with Allah (swt). Muslims are encouraged to engage in istighfar frequently, as it reflects their reliance on Allah’s (swt) mercy and their awareness of their own imperfections.
