Duas for seeking forgiveness from Allah
O Allah, forgive me my mistakes and my ignorance and my extravagance in my affair. O Allah, forgive me my jesting and my seriousness, my mistakes and my deliberate sins, and all of that is with me. O Allah, forgive me what I have sent forth and what I have delayed, what I have concealed and what I have done openly, and what You know better than I. You are the One Who sends forth and You are the One Who delays; there is no god but You.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the cessation of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all of Your displeasure.
O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and secure me from what makes me anxious. O Allah, protect me from before me and behind me, from my right and from my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in Your Magnificence from being struck from beneath me.
I seek forgiveness from Allah, than whom there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, and I turn to Him in repentance.
O Allah, indeed I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is necessary. Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself by, that You taught to any one of Your creation, that You revealed in Your Book, or that You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the remover of my anxieties.
O Allah, I ask You for a heart pure from the hypocrisy of this world, a love for the Hereafter, a desire for reward, and a fear of punishment. And that You make sins heralds of repentance, mistakes keys to seizing opportunity, and evil deeds erasers of transgressions. And that You purify my heart from everything that distances me from You.
O Allah, forgive me my every sin, the minor and the major, the first and the last, the apparent and the secret.
O Allah, forgive me for what I have committed (in the past) and what I will commit (in the future), what I have concealed and what I have declared openly, what I have been extravagant in, and what You know better about me than I do. You are the One Who brings forth and the One Who delays. There is no god but You.
O Allah, I ask You for the doing of good deeds, and the abandoning of evil deeds, and to love the poor. And that You forgive me and have mercy on me. And if You intend to try Your creation, then take me to Yourself without putting me through trials. And I ask You for Your love, and the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds which bring me closer to Your love. O Allah, I ask You for guidance, and piety, and chastity, and contentment.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever enacted. Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any one of Your creation, or kept hidden in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the cessation of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all Your displeasure. And I seek refuge in You from the trials of this world and the Hereafter.
O Allah, forgive me all my sins, the minor and the major, the first and the last, the apparent and the hidden.
