Duas for seeking forgiveness from Allah
O Allah, forgive me for what I have sent forth and what I have delayed, what I have concealed and what I have declared, and what I have exceeded in, and what You know better than I. You are the One Who brings forth and the One Who delays; there is no god but You.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is inevitable. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to any of Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my grief, and a reliever of my worry.
My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me.
O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.
O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this world and the next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs and my family and my property. O Allah, conceal my weaknesses and calm my fears. O Allah, protect me from my front and from behind me, from my right and from my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in Your might from being smitten from beneath me.
O Allah, forgive me for what I have sent ahead and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public, what I have squandered, and whatever else You know better than I. You are the One Who brings forth and the One Who delays; there is no god but You.
O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no deity except You. You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am abiding by Your covenant and Your 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 acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.
O Allah, forgive me my mistakes and my ignorance and my extravagance in my affairs, and what You know better about me than I. O Allah, forgive me my jesting and my seriousness, and my mistakes and my intentional acts, and my resolve and my jesting, and all of that is with me. O Allah, forgive me what I have sent forth and what I have delayed, and what I have concealed and what I have made public, and what You know better about me than I. You are the One Who sends forth and You are the One Who delays, and You have power over all things.
O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and self-sufficiency.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, the reversal of Your well-being, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all of Your displeasure.
O Allah, forgive for me all my sins, the minor and the major, the first and the last, the apparent and the hidden.
O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is beneficial, provision that is good and pure, and deeds that are accepted.
