Sayyidul Istighfar: The Best Dua for Allah’s Forgiveness

Recite once in the Morning and once in the Evening

“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.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The best prayer for seeking forgiveness is to say: 

اَلّلهُمَّ أنْتَ رَبِّيْ لَا اِلهَ اِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِيْ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ اَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ فَإِنَّه لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إلَّا أَنْتَ

“Allahumma anta Rabbii laa ilaaha illaa anta, Khalaq-tanii wa ana ‘Abduka, wa ana a’la a’hdika wa wa’dika mastata’tu, a’udhu bika min sharri maa sana’tu, abuo-u laka bini’matika a’laiya, wa abuo-u laka bidhanbii faghfirli, fa innahuo laa yaghfiru-dhunouba illaa anta.”
