Ghufranaka Meaning

The meaning of ghufranaka in English is I ask You [O Allaah] for Your forgiveness.

After I did what i had to do and then i want to leave the toilet what should i say?

The prophet SAW used to say which translates to i ask you allah for forgiveness.

Why do i say such a thing?

Scholars say that you ask Allah for forgiveness because as Allah relieved your body from toxic waste from things that are harmful for your body.

Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, reported that when the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, would leave the bathroom, he, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, would say:

I ask You [O Allaah] for Your forgiveness.

An-Nawawi, may Allaah have mercy on him, said:

Many Ahaadeeth have been reported regarding leaving the bathroom, but none of them are authentic besides the Hadeeth of Aa’ishah that has been mentioned.

The appropriateness of asking for forgiveness when leaving the bathroom is that when a person relieves themselves of harmful toxins within their body, they remember the harmful toxins of sin.

So, they ask Allaah the Exalted to remove the toxins of sin just as He bestowed on them by removing the toxins of the body.

This is appropriate in that it uses one thing to remind of another.

It was said that human strength is deficient in giving due thanks for what Allaah the Exalted favors a person with, in terms of facilitating food, drink, and organizing the food in an appropriate manner than benefits the body until it is about to leave, they would resort to seeking forgiveness, out of admitting their deficiency in reaching the due right of thanks for those blessings and favors.

As Allah Azzawajal facilitated you to eat and drink and now gave you the permission to dispose of such waste.

Likewise you have a lot on your shoulders meaning sins that burden you so you ask Allah Azzawajal as he gracefully relieved you from such waste and filth that may have harmed your body.

You pray to him that he relieves you from your sins that may take you to his torment and wrath on the day of judgment.
