SEEK FORGIVENESS
Before you ask Allah for anything, you should
always ask Him to forgive you. He is al-Ghafūr (The

in the Noble Qur’ān:
‘Say: ‘My slaves, those who have transgressed against
themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah.
Truly Allah forgives all sins: He is truly the Most
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’ ’ (39:53)

DU‘ĀS FROM
THE SUNNAH
(Sayyid al-Istighfār) O Allah, You are my Lord.
DU‘ĀS FROM THE SUNNAH
1
There is no god worthy of worship except You.
You have created me, and I am Your slave. I am
under Your covenant and pledge (to fulfil it) to the
best of my ability. I seek Your protection from the
evil that I have done. I acknowledge the favours
that You have bestowed upon me, and I admit my
sins. Forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.

O Allah, forgive my mistakes, ignorance,

transgression in my matters, and what You
are more Knowledgeable of than me. O Allah,
forgive me for what I did in earnestness and in
jest; unintentionally or intentionally; as I have
committed all of these (types of sins). O Allah,
forgive me for what I have already done, what I am
yet to do, what I did publicly, what I did privately,
and what You are more Knowledgeable of than
me. You are the One who brings forward and You
are the One who defers. You are All-Powerful
over everything. (Muslim)

death; from dying of sorrow, drowning, drowning
