Sayyid al-Istighfar — master supplication for forgiveness
اللّهـمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّـي لا إلهَ إلاّ...
اللّهـمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّـي لا إلهَ إلاّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنـي وَأَنا عَبْـدُك، وَأَنا عَلـى عَهْـدِكَ وَوَعْـدِكَ ما اسْتَـطَعْـت، أَعـوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَـرِّ ما صَنَـعْت، أَبـوءُ لَـكَ بِنِعْـمَتِـكَ عَلَـيَّ وَأَبـوءُ بِذَنْـبي فَاغْفِـرْ لي فَإِنَّـهُ لا يَغْـفِرُ الذُّنـوبَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ
Allahumma anta rabbee la ilaha illa ant, khalaqtanee wa-ana AAabduk, wa-ana AAala AAahdika wawaAAdika mas-tataAAt, aAAoothu bika min sharri ma sanaAAt, aboo-o laka biniAAmatika AAalay, wa-aboo-o bithanbee, faghfir lee fa-innahu la yaghfiruth-thunooba illa ant
Translation
O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am Your servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I have committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You.
When to recite
The Prophet said: whoever recites this in the morning with firm belief and dies that day before evening will be among the people of Paradise, and whoever recites it in the evening with firm belief and dies that night will be among the people of Paradise.
