Why is the time of the late night specifically designated for seeking forgiveness?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Among the questions that came to the program, the questioner asks: Why is the time of the late night specifically designated for seeking forgiveness?

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said: "And those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night." This is because the conclusion of the night and the conclusion of the night prayer are with seeking forgiveness. Seeking forgiveness is the conclusion of all deeds and the conclusion of one's life. This was the conclusion of the life of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah commanded him to seek forgiveness when he saw the sign indicating the nearness of his death (peace and blessings be upon him), so he concluded his life by increasing his seeking of forgiveness.
Seeking forgiveness after the prayer, after he says the closing salam, he seeks forgiveness three times, then he recites the dhikr after the salam. Seeking forgiveness is also the conclusion of gatherings; when he wants to rise from the gathering, he concludes it with seeking forgiveness. Yes.
