Sayyid Al-Istighfar (The greatest prayer for forgiveness)

Allahumma Anta Rabbi laa ilaaha illaa Ant(a), khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduk(a), wa ana ‘alaa ‘ahdika wa wa’dika mastata’t(u), a-‘udhu bika min sharri maa sana’t(u), abu’u laka bi ni’matika ‘alayy(a), wa abu’u bi dhanbi, fa’ghfir lii ha innahu laa yaghfiru’dh-dhunuba illaa Ant(a).

O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You have created me and I am Your servant and as far as possible I abide by Your promise and covenant (which I made with You). I seek Your protection against the consequences of my wrongdoings. I fully acknowledge the grace You have bestowed upon me and confess my faults. So pardon me as none besides You can pardon sins.

Whoever recites this during the day or night with firm belief, then happens to pass away before the next evening or morning, he/she will be counted among the dwellers of Paradise. (Bukhari)

Favourite random Quotations :-)

"Knowledge is not merely the narrating of texts. Rather, knowledge is fear of Allah SWT."

"Do not make people hate their Creator by your action!"

"The best among you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it."

"A child will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, the home happier, the past forgotten and the future worth living for, alhamdulillah!"

‎"So what legacy will we leave behind that will continue to benefit us after we pass away? Truly, this is the best way of doing business, a business wherein we are preparing an exit strategy and one which continues to benefit us even after our demise."

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

"We buy things we don't need with the money we don't have (loan) to impress the people we don't love!"

"Believing gives a purpose, to live a fulfilling life, to cultivate the humanity, to try to reach the full potential. It's so satisfying to think we are created for a reason, we're part of the flow of the universe, our existance contribute to it. A purpose driven life is so much more better than a life without meaning.... Even if there's no reward waiting after this life.So I choose to believe!"

Comprehensive supplications

"My prayers and my devotions, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the Universe. He has no peer. Allah's guidance is the only guidance. We are commanded to submit to the Lord of the Universe, to pray and to fear Him. Before Him shall you be gathered all. " [Qur'an Al-an'am:6 ]

"My Rabb! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and my parents and that I may do righteous good deeds such as please You and make my offspring good. Truly I have turned to You in repentance and truly I am one of the Muslims. " [Qur'an Al-Ahqah:15]

"My lord, make me one who establishes prayer and of my offspring. Our Lord, accept my prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day reckoning is made." [Qur'an 14:40-41]

"Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the torment of the Fire!" [ Qur'an 2:201]

"O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and wellbeing in my religion, my worldly life, my family and my wealth." [Mustadrak]

"O Allah, help me in You remembrance, Your thanks and in perfecting Your prescribed worship." [Tirmidhi]

"O Allah ! Give me love of you, love of the people who love You and love of every action which draws me nearer to Your love." [Tirmidhi]

"O Allah, I ask You beneficial knowledge and goodly sustenance and accepted acts of worship." [Ibn Maja]

Allah (swt) is the Most Merciful !

Remember that Allah forgives those who ask Him for forgiveness, and He accepts the repentance of those who repent and He accepts those who come back to Him.

"Supplicate to Me, I will answer you." [Qur'an 40:60]

"Compete with one another in hastening to forgiveness from your Lord." [Qur'an 3:133]

"O people, it is you who are poor in the presence of Allah." [Qur'an 35:15] "Therefore flee to Allah." [Qur'an 51:50]

‎"To each is a goal to which Allah turns him/her; then strive together (as in a race) towards all that is good. Wheresoever you are, Allah will bring you Together. For Allah has power over all things. (Baqarah:148)

“And among His Signs is this that He created for you spouses of your own kind, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy for one another: verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.” (Quran 30:21)
