"Sayidu Al Istighfar" Best Dua for Forgivness

 

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari - Volume 8, Book 75, Number 318:

 

Narrated Shaddad bin Aus:

 

The Prophet said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Anta Khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana 'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, A'udhu bika min Sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya, wa Abu Laka bidhanbi faghfirli innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." The Prophet added. "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

 

 

O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no God except You

Al-Lahumma 'Anta Rabbī Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā 'Anta

 

You created me and I am Your slave.

Khalaqtanī Wa 'Anā `Abduka

 

 

 To the best of my ability I will abide by my covenant and pledge to You

Wa 'Anā `Alaá `Ahdika Wa Wa`dika Mā Astaţa`tu

 

I seek Your protection from the evil of my own creation.

'A`ūdhu Bika MinSharri Mā Şana`tu 

 

 

I acknowledge Your favors to me and I admit my sins.

'Abū'u Laka Bini`matika `Alayya Wa 'Abū'u Laka Bidhanbī 

 

So please forgive me for no one can forgive sins except You.

Fāghfir Lī 'Innahu Lā Yaghfiru Adh-Dhunūba 'Illā 'Anta

O Allah I ask You for the good of this day its triumphs and its victories its light and its blessings and its guidance and I take refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil that follows it.’

For the evening the supplication is read as follows:

 ‘We have reached the evening and at this very time all sovereignty belongs to Allah Lord of the worlds. O Allah I ask You for the good of tonight its triumphs and its victories its light and its blessings and its guidance and I take refuge in You from the evil of tonight and the evil that follows it.’

(92)  

The messenger of Allah r said: ‘Whoever says in the morning:

 ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone without partner to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent.’

…has indeed gained the reward of freeing a slave from the children of IsmaAAeel and ten of his sins are wiped away and he is raised ten degrees and he has found a safe retreat from the devil until evening. Similarly if he says it at evening time he will be protected until the morning.’

(as-sabah) translated morning: after Fajr prayer until the sun rises (al-masa/) translated evening: after AAsr prayer until the sunsets however some scholars say: after the sunsets and onwards.

(75)

 In the evening:

 ‘We have reached the evening and at this very time unto Allah belongs all sovereignty and all praise is for Allah.  None has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone without partner to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent. My Lord I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it and I take refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it.  My Lord I take refuge in You from laziness and senility.  My Lord I take refuge in You from torment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.’

shirk: to associate others with Allah in those things which are specific to Him.  This can occur in (1) belief e.g. to believe that other than Allah has the power to benefit or harm (2) speech e.g. to swear by other than Allah and (3) action e.g. to bow or prostrate to other than Allah.
