The Master Supplication for Seeking Forgiveness

اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، خَلَقْتَنِيْ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، وَأَنَا عَلَىٰ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ ، أَبُوْءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوْءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِيْ ، فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.

O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I hold to Your covenant and Your promise as far as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me, and I acknowledge my sin to You. So forgive me, for no one forgives sins except You.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief. I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness. I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness. And I seek refuge in You from being overwhelmed by debt and from the domination of men.

اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِيْ ، فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ ذُنُوْبِيْ جَمِيْعًا ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، وَاهْدِنِيْ لِأَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ لَا يَهْدِيْ لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّيْ سَيِّئَهَا لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّيْ سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ، وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ فِيْ يَدَيْكَ ، وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ ، أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ ، تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوْبُ إِلَيْكَ.

O Allah, You are the King; there is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me all my sins; indeed none forgives sins except You. Guide me to the best of character; none guides to the best of it except You. And turn its evil away from me; none turns its evil away from me except You. Here I am at Your call and at Your service. All good is in Your hands, and evil is not toward You. I am by You and to You. Blessed and exalted are You. I ask Your forgiveness and I turn to You in repentance.

O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I keep to Your covenant and Your promise as far as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge before You my sin. So forgive me, for no one forgives sins except You.

O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, Possessor of Majesty and Honour, I make a covenant with You in this worldly life, and I call You to witness, and You suffice as a witness, that I bear witness that there is no god but You alone, with no partner; Yours is the dominion and Yours is the praise, and You are over all things Powerful. And I bear witness that Muḥammad is Your servant and Your Messenger, and I bear witness that Your promise is true, and meeting You is true, and the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, and that You will resurrect those in the graves. And that if You leave me to myself, You leave me to weakness, need, sin and error, and I trust only in Your mercy. So forgive me all my sins, for none forgives sins except You, and accept my repentance; indeed You are the Ever-Accepting of repentance, the Most Merciful.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي، وَتَرَى مَكَانِي، وَتَعْلَمُ سِرِّي وَعَلَانِيَتِي، لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي، أَنَا الْبَائِسُ الْفَقِيرُ الْمُسْتَغِيثُ الْمُسْتَجِيرُ الْوَجِلُ الْمُشْفِقُ الْمُقِرُّ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِذَنْبِهِ، أَسْأَلُكَ مَسْأَلَةَ الْمِسْكِينِ وَأَبْتَهِلُ إِلَيْكَ ابْتِهَالَ الْمُذْنِبِ الذَّلِيلِ، وَأَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ الْخَائِفِ الضَّرِيرِ، مَنْ خَشَعَتْ لَكَ رَقَبَتُهُ، وَفَاضَتْ لَكَ عَيْنَاهُ، وَذَلَّ لَكَ جَسَدَهُ وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ لَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي بِدُعَائِكَ شَقِيًّا، وَكُنْ بِي رَءُوفًا رَحِيمًا يَا خَيْرَ الْمَسْئُولِينَ وَيَا خَيْرَ الْمُعْطِينَ

O Allah, You hear my words, and see where I am, and know my secret and my open affairs; nothing of my matter is hidden from You. I am the wretched, the poor, the one who cries for help, the one who seeks refuge, the fearful, the apprehensive, the one who admits and acknowledges his sin. I ask You as the destitute asks, and I plead to You as the lowly sinner pleads, and I call upon You as the fearful and afflicted one calls, whose neck has humbled itself to You, whose eyes have overflowed for You, whose body has been humbled before You, and whose nose has been rubbed in the dust for You. O Allah, do not make me unfortunate in my supplication to You, and be kind and merciful to me, O Best of those who are asked and O Best of those who give.

Dua for Refuge from Evil and Purification from Sins

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ وَلَا شَيْءَ قَبْلَكَ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ لَا شَيْءَ بَعْدَكَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ نَاصِيَتُهَا بِيَدِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الْأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ بَعِّدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطِيئَتِي كَمَا بَعَّدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ

O Allah, You are the First and there is nothing before You, and You are the Last and there is nothing after You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every creature whose forelock is in Your hand. I seek refuge in You from sin and laziness, from the punishment of the Fire and the punishment of the grave, from the trial of wealth and the trial of poverty. And I seek refuge in You from what leads to sin and from debt. O Allah, cleanse my heart of sins as You have cleansed the white garment of dirt. O Allah, put distance between me and my sin as You have put distance between the east and the west.
