Astaghfar tasbih. The count, the wording and the sources

This counter is set to Astaghfirullah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, with a target of one hundred. The Prophet ﷺ said that he sought Allah's forgiveness more than seventy times a day in one narration and one hundred times in another, so one hundred is the count most people keep. Tap anywhere to count and the total stays on your own device.

How many times should you say Astaghfirullah a day?

One hundred is the count most people follow, on the basis of the narration in Sahih Muslim 2702 in which the Prophet ﷺ said he sought Allah's forgiveness one hundred times a day. Sahih al-Bukhari 6307 reports more than seventy times. Neither narration is a limit; both describe a habit rather than a ceiling.

What is Sayyidul Istighfar?

It is the master supplication for seeking forgiveness, taught by the Prophet ﷺ and reported in Sahih al-Bukhari 6306. Whoever says it in the morning with certainty and dies that day enters Paradise, and likewise in the evening. It is longer than Astaghfirullah and is said once in the morning and once in the evening rather than a hundred times.

Do you need to be in wudu to say istighfar?

No. Dhikr and istighfar can be said in any state, walking, lying down, working or travelling, without wudu. Wudu is recommended and increases the reward but is not a condition.

Frequently asked questions

What does Astaghfirullah mean?

I seek forgiveness from Allah. It is the standard formula of repentance in Islam.

How many times a day did the Prophet ﷺ say istighfar?

One hundred times a day in the narration of Sahih Muslim 2702, and more than seventy times in Sahih al-Bukhari 6307.

Can I count istighfar on a digital counter?

Yes. Counting on the fingers is the sunnah and is best, but scholars permit beads and digital counters as neutral aids.

Is this tasbih counter free?

Yes. It is free for everyone, with no adverts, no premium tier and no sign-up. There is nothing to pay and nothing to unlock.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded once, the counter keeps working with no internet connection, which matters in a masjid basement or on a plane.

Is my count private?

Yes. The count is stored in your own browser on your own device. There is no account, no server copy and no tracking of what you recite.
