Do you know the secret time to ask Allah for forgiveness (Istighfar) when He is most likely to answer your prayer? Episode 42 of The Speaking Quran dives deep into the Tafsir of Surah Yusuf, Verse 98, revealing the profound reason why Prophet Ya'qub (Jacob) delayed asking Allah for forgiveness for his sons. Learn the specific times and places where your repentance is more likely to be accepted!

We explore:

• The general principle: When you feel remorse, Allah is there to listen and forgive, regardless of time.
• The special times: Why Allah encourages us to take advantage of 'specials and clearances' for forgiveness.
• The hidden reason: Why Prophet Ya'qub (AS) specifically postponed the prayer. Tafsir scholars suggest he waited for the *blessed hours before dawn (Sahur)* or the eve of Friday, when supplications are answered faster.
• The connection to prayer: How the five daily prayers act as a fountain to wash away sins, making the time right after the prayer a prime moment for Istighfar.
