Forgiveness & Repentance Dua #23

Sayyidul Istighfar — The Best Dua for Forgiveness

Every morning and evening, especially before sleeping

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

— Allahumma anta rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana 'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu. A'oodhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu. Aboo'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa aboo'u bidhanbi faghfir lee, fainnahu la yaghfirudh dhunuba illa anta

"O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I am upon Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me and I confess my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You."
