Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.
Rabbana zalamna anfusana wa il lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lanakoonanna minal-khasireen
When to Read
Recite this dua whenever you realize you've been led astray or have committed sins due to the negative influence of friends or companions. It's particularly poignant when reflecting on past mistakes made in bad company, acknowledging the harm done to yourself and seeking Allah's grace to rectify it.
How to Read
Recite with sincerity and deep remorse. Visualize the situation where you were influenced by doubtful companions and acknowledge your own role in succumbing to that influence. Raise your hands in supplication, as is the Sunnah when making dua, and pour your heart out to Allah, recognizing His absolute power to forgive and bestow mercy.
Virtues & Benefits
This powerful dua, taught to Adam and Hawwa (may Allah be pleased with them) in the Quran, acknowledges wrongdoing ('zalamna anfusana' - we have wronged ourselves) and directly petitions Allah for His forgiveness and mercy. It highlights the consequence of not receiving His forgiveness ('lanakoonanna minal-khasireen' - we will surely be among the losers), emphasizing our utter dependence on Him. Recognizing our own faults, especially those influenced by external factors like bad company, is the first step towards repentance and earning Allah's pleasure.
