verily none can forgive sin except you. [Sahih Bukhari]

(You), and from desire which is not satisfied, and from prayer which is not

Allāhumma lā ilāha illā ant, al-Mannān, Badī`us-samāwāti wal-arḍ, Dhal-

O Allah! Forgive my errors, ignorance and immoderation in my affairs. You are
better aware of my faults than myself. O Allah! Forgive my faults which I
committed in seriousness or in fun deliberately or inadvertently. O Allah!
Grant me pardon for those sins which I committed in the past and I may commit
in future, which I committed in privacy or in public and all those sins of which
You are better aware than me. You Alone can send whomever You will to
Jannah, and You Alone can send whomever You will to Hell-fire and You are
Omnipotent.
[Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]

O Allah, apportion to us such fear as should serve as a barrier between us and

acts of disobedience; and such obedience as will take us to Your Jannah; and
such as will make easy for us to bear in the calamities of this world. O Allah!
let us enjoy our hearing, our sight and our power as long as You keep us alive
and make our heirs from our own offspring, and make our revenge restricted
to those who oppress us, and support us against those who are hostile to us
let no misfortune afflict our Deen; let not worldly affairs be our principal
concern, or the ultimate limit of our knowledge, and let not those rule over
us who do not show mercy to us. [At-Tirmidhi]

been wronged, and seeing some calamity befall my family or wealth.

(O Allah, I am your slave, the son of your slave and the son of your maid-slave.
Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I
ask you by every Name belonging to You, which You have Named Yourself with,

preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’ān
the life of my heart and the light of my chest, and a departure for my sorrow
and a release for my anxiety) except that Allah will remove his sorrow and
replace it with happiness.” [Aḥmad, al-Ḥākim , and Ibn Ḥibbān]

O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep
me alive so long as You know that living is good for me and cause me to die
when You know that death is better for me. O Allah, cause me to fear You in
secret and in public. I ask You to make me true in speech in times of pleasure and
of anger. I ask You to make me moderate in times of wealth and poverty. And I
ask You for everlasting delight and joy that will never cease. I ask You to make
me pleased with that which You have decreed and for an easy life after death. I
askYou for the sweetness of looking upon Your face and a longing to meet You
in a manner that does not entail a calamity that will bring about harm or a
trial that will cause deviation. O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of
faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided.“
