Warding off calamities by doing Istighfar (Seeking forgiveness) - from Allah The Almighty:

{Nor will He punish them while they seek "Allah's" Forgiveness}. [Al-Anfaal 8:33]

{وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ} الأنفال: 33

Transliteration: wama kanaAllahu mu'aththibahum wahum yastaghfiroon

﴿ وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ﴾ [لقمان ١٨]

•••••——————▪️▫️——————-•••••

And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people[] and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allāh does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful.

﴿إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَتَهُۥ یُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِیِّۚ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسۡلِیمًا﴾ [الأحزاب ٥٦]

Indeed, Allāh confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels
[ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allāh to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allāh to grant him] peace.

THE ASTONISHING AFFAIR

ALLĀH says,

كَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَكُنتُمۡ أَمۡوَٰتًا فَأَحۡيَٰكُمۡۖ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُحۡيِيكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ
How can you disbelieve in ALLĀH? when you were lifeless and HE gave you life, then HE will cause you to die and again bring you to life, and then to HIM you will be returned.

This is a question which is intended to reflect astonishment as well as to rebuke and denounce. In other words, how could you disbelieve in ALLĀH, Who created you from nothing and bestowed upon you all types of blessings, then HE will cause you to die when you reach the appointed time, and HE will requite you in the grave, then HE will bring you back to life at the time of the Resurrection, then to HIM you will return and HE will repay you in full? As you are under HIS control, encompassed by HIS kindness and subject to HIS commands, after which you will be brought to account, is it befitting for you to disbelieve in HIM? Can that be anything other than great ignorance and foolishness? Rather what is befitting for you is to believe in HIM, be aware of HIM, be grateful to HIM, fear HIS punishment and hope for HIS reward.

Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di

[Allah is Kind to His servants]

If you gathered all the kindness of people to you

It would not be equal to ..
A drop in the ocean of Allah's kindness to you ..!

So go to Him in your need,

In your weakness
He will come to you with His relief and strength ..?

My God, I seek refuge in You from walking without a guide, from striving in vain, and from a path without a goal.

O Allah, keep me in Your care, no human being can harm me, and no fate can make me cry, and please me and mend my feelings.

﴿سورة الإسراء ٢٣﴾ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا

[Quran 17:23] Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to your parents. If either of them or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a word of disrespect, nor scold them, but say to them kind words.
