Duas for Forgiveness
By Sound Vision Staff writer
The Prophet Muhammad said, the one who repents for a sin is like the
one who has not committed a sin (al-Bayhaqi and Ibn Majah). Peace and
blessings be upon him.
Ramadan, according to one Hadith, is divided into three parts. Its
beginning is mercy, its middle is forgiveness and its end is freedom
from the Hellfire. As we are currently in the days of forgiveness, we
thought it would be worthwhile to share a couple of supplications (Duas)
from the Quran and Hadith whereby we can ask God's forgiveness. We have
also included some suggested Duas of our own that you can use at the
bottom of this article.
From the Quran
-
Rabbanaa faghfir lana thunoobana wa kaffir 'anna
sayyiaatinaa wa tawaffanaa ma 'al abraar.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and efface our bad deeds and take our
souls in the company of the righteous (Quran 3:193).
-
Rabbana thalamnaa anfusanaa wa illam taghfir
lanaa wa tar hamnaa lanakoo nunna meen al khasireen.
Our Lord! We have sinned against ourselves and unless
You grant us forgiveness and bestow Your mercy upon us, we shall most
certainly be lost.
-
Rabbanagh firlanaa wa li ikhwaa ninallatheena
sabaqoonaa bil eemani wa la taj'al fee quloobinaa ghillall lillatheena
aamanoo rabbanaa innaka raoofur raheem.
Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came
before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or
sense of injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art
indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful (Quran 59:10).
-
Rabbanagh firlana thunoobana wa israfana fee amrina
wa thabbit aqdaa mana wan surna alal qawmil kafireeen.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and the lack of moderation
in our doings, and make firm our steps and succor us against those
who deny the truth (Quran 3:147).
From the Hadith
-
Allahummagh firli thanbi kullahu diqqahu wa jillahu
wa awwalahoo wa akhirahoo wa 'ala niyyatahoo wa sirrahoo.
Oh Allah! Forgive me all my sins, great and small,
the first and the last, those that are apparent and those that are
hidden (Muslim).
-
Astaghfir Allah wa atoobu ilayh.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him
(Bukhari, Muslim. It is recommended that this Dua be said 100 times
during the day).
-
Allhumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni
Oh Allah! You are Forgiving and love forgiveness
so forgive me (Bukhari. This Dua is specifically recommended for the
Night of Power or Laylatul Qadr).
Other Duas
-
My Lord, the Forgiving One! I have committed so
many sins every day of my life. Only You can forgive, please forgive
me!
-
My Merciful Creator, give me the strength to forgive
others as I seek Your forgiveness.
-
Ya Allah, forgive me for all of my sins and help
me always turn to You seeking forgiveness and Mercy until I die.

| Something to Ask... | | O Allah, I beg to You the good which Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) begged of You; and I seek refuge in You from the evil where from Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sought refuge. You are the One from Whom help is sought and Your is the responsibility to communicate (the truth). There is no power or strength except with Allah the Exalted, the Great. |
