how do find forgiveness?

Answer 1

If you mean forgiveness for your own sins...then all you have to do is confess your sins to God..admit you made a mistake...truly repent for your sin and ask Him to forgive you..and He will.

If you mean forgiveness for someone else that has wronged you...The Bible instructs us to forgive as the Lord forgave us:

Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.

Answer 2

How can we find forgiveness from our sins? Jesus is the way! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins - all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die - a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

Answer 3

Salaam Alaykum. Ask Allah for forgiveness, and repent and regret the past. You can find proof for all of these sayings in the Qur'an, but I'll just give some sayings from Imam Ali (as), our first Imam out of 12:

"I wonder at a man who loses hope of salvation when the door of repentance is open for him."

This means that repentance is always available; don't lose hope of it.

Basically, Imam Ali (as) has summed up the requirements of repentance and forgiveness in this beautiful saying from Nahj al-Balagha:

"May your mother mourn for you! Do you know what istighfar (asking Allah for forgiveness) is? Verily istighfar is a degree of the 'illiyyun (people of high station) and it is a word that means six things. First is remorse over the past. Second, the resolution not to return to it ever. Third, to return to creatures their (formerly usurped) rights so that you meet God Almighty in a state of purity in which no one has any claim against you. Fourth, that you fulfil every duty that you neglected in order to satisfy your obliga­tion in respect to it. Fifth, that you attend to the flesh of your body that has grown on unlawful nourishment so that it melts away as a result of grief and mourning and your skin adheres to your bones, after which new flesh grows in its place. Sixth, that you make your body taste the pain of obedience in the same way as it earlier tasted the pleasure of sins. When you have done these things then say Astaghfirul­lah!"

Follow what Imam Ali (as) said and Insha'Allah (Allah Willing), Allah will forgive you!
