Dua on Repenting to Allah

Our kind and generous Lord, that Being Who gave us everything from the moment we were born,

Ya Allah we have wronged and oppressed our own selves, we have left obeying Your rules,

Ya Allah we have broken your commandments, we have broken the Sunnahs of Your beloved Messenger (s.a.w),

Ya Allah today we testify that we have deceived no one but our own selves, we have betrayed and wronged no one but our own selves,

Ya Allah if You do not send your forgiveness and your mercy upon us, then truly we will be among the lost ones,

Ya Allah forgive us for the sins that we did in the day, forgive us for all the sins that we have ever done, forgive us for the sins that we did in the day, forgive us for the sins that we did in the night, forgive us for the sins that we did alone, forgive us for the sins that we did in the company of others,

Ya Allah forgive us for the sins that we did in the past, forgive us for the sins that we still do in the present,

Ya Allah forgive us for the sins that we remember, forgive us for the sins that we have forgotten,

Ya Allah forgive us for the sins that we did to ourselves, forgive us for the sins that we did to others,

Ya Allah out of your mercy accept our repentance today,

Ya Allah we pledge to you that from this moment on we want to lead our life according to the Quran, Sunnah and Shariah, we want to lead a life that is pleasing to You,

Ya Allah from the tips of our hair to the soles of our feet, change us and transform us in a way that is pleasing to You,

Ya Allah make us follow this Quran and Sunnah and Shariah,

Ya Allah if we are lazy, if we are unwilling, drag us by our hair and make us follow the Quran, Sunnah and Shariah,

Ya Allah forgive us for our sins,

Ya Allah keep us away from the friends of sin, keep us away from those who invite us to sin,

Ya Allah keep us away from the gatherings of sin, keep us away from the opportunities of sin. Allah we are Your weak and sinning servants,

Ya Allah we cannot handle these tests,

Ya Allah out of Your mercy protect us from sin,

Ya Allah put us in Your special protection, give us the ability to overcome our nafs, give us the ability to subdue Shaitan, give us ability to become people of taqwa,

Ya Allah shower Your special mercy upon us,

Ya Allah shower one glance of love upon us,

Ya Allah remove the distance that we have from You in our hearts.

Ya Allah how many years will go by before we feel You in our Salah, how many years will go by before we feel You in our sajda,

Ya Allah we beg of you to draw us closer to You, we too also want to feel Your nearness, we too also want to have the deep knowledge of You,

Ya Allah shower Your mercy upon us.

Ya Allah You may have billions of servants in the world, but Ya Allah we only have one You.

Ya Allah if You refuse us today there is no place else for us to go, Ya Allah we are in Your house, in the masjid of Allah,

Ya Allah no host lets his guests go away empty handed, Ya Allah we beg of you to accept our supplications, Ya Allah You Yourself commanded this in Quran, that we should not reject the person who asks of us, Ya Allah if this is a command for us, Your weak servants, Ya Allah we are also asking at Your door, Ya Allah You are the most merciful of the merciful ones, Ya Allah grant us our supplications, forgive us for our sins, accept our repentance on this day.

Ya Allah Your beloved Messenger (s.a.w) said, that when people from different parts of the world meet just for Your sake, You send a special peace and mercy upon that gathering. Ya Allah today people from different parts of the world have gathered, we met one another only for Your sake, only to increase in our love for You, only to learn how to draw close to You, Allah draw us closer to You, shower your mercy and peace upon this gathering, and accept our supplication.

Ya Allah any one of Us who may have sickness grant us health, any one of us who may have financial difficulties, grant us pure and halal provision,

and Ya Allah those of us who have health, who have wealth, who have nothing but our own laziness to blame,

Ya Allah let us overcome our laziness, make us people of action, make us people who follow this deen, make us people who practice our knowledge, make us people of action, make us people of sincerity,

Ya Allah make us among the Muttaqeen, make us among the Muhsineen, make us among the Tawwabeen, make us among the Awabeen, make us among the Sabireen, and the Zakireen, and the Muqarrabeen,

Ya Allah make us among the Mumineen, and let us die among the Muslimeen,

Ya Allah bless this masjid, bless the halls of this masjid, make this masjid always a gathering of the people of taqwa, let this masjid produce the people of taqwa, let this masjid be a shining light for the people of Quran, Sunnah and Shariah, let the noor of this masjid spread to the four corners of the world,

Ya Allah reward all of those who are involved in this masjid, Ya Allah reward all of those who even look upon this masjid with one glance of love.

Ya Allah accept all of us for Your deen, accept us for the service of Your deen,

Ya Allah for those of us who have children make them the coolness of our eyes, Ya Allah preserve our children from the temptations of sin around them, Ya Allah we may do everything we can for our children, but Ya Allah we ask that You do everything You can for them, keep them in Your protection, and save them from the society around them, Ya Allah preserve the faith of our children, and preserve the faith of all of our descendants until the Last Day.
