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.

How to Read

Virtues & Benefits
This beautiful verse from Surah Al-A'raf is a timeless lesson from the story of Adam and Eve (peace be upon them). Its recitation offers profound benefits: It teaches us humility by acknowledging our own 'แบulm' (wrongdoing) against ourselves through our actions. It is a direct plea for Allah's forgiveness ('maghfirah') and mercy ('rahmah'), recognizing that without them, we are indeed among the 'khasireen' (losers). For a couple, making this dua together or individually after a spousal mistake can foster a deeper sense of accountability, mutual reliance on Allah, and strengthen the bond of their marriage through shared repentance and seeking Allah's grace.
