FORGIVENESS

The Best Way to Seek Forgiveness (Sayyid al-Istighfar)

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Allāhumma Anta Rabbī lā ilāha illā Anta, khalaqtanī wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'alā 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastaṭa'tu, a'ūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣana'tu, abū'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa abū'u bidhanbī faghfir lī fa-innahu lā yaghfir udh-dhunūba illā Anta

O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil, which I have committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for no one can forgive sins except You.
