Undoubtedly, humans commit sins but if they beg to ALLAH Azzawajal through prayers for forgiveness in Islam. They definitely have choice to refuse the evil suggestions of Shaitan. When iblees disobeyed ALLAH Ta’ala, he then asked ALLAH Ta’ala to give him the time until the Day of Judgement to deviate mankind, in order to show ALLAH Ta’ala that we are not worth what were given(status).

Dua for Seeking Forgiveness from ALLAH

How to Perform Astaghfar in Islam?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Bismillah hirRahman nirRaheem

With The Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent and The Merciful

SallALLAHU ‘Ala Mu’hammad SallALLAHU Alayhe Wasallam

Humans are prone to errors! A well-known quote has greatly expressed this, To err is human, to forgive divine! 

-Alexander Pope

The burden of your sins might be one of the cause that why your any single Dua Wazaif, which you have performed for your legible purpose has not been a success. Meanwhile, another person who is doing the same dua wazifa, his dua has been fulfilled. So we need to work upon on our sins which are increasing every second. This needs to lessen/end.

ALLAH Ta’ala knows that this is the conspiracy of Shaitan and Shaitan will attract human beings to commit sins more and more. ALLAH Azzawajal has promised this if HIS slaves will commit sins whether Kabira or Sagira, and they will ask ALLAH Ta’ala for forgiveness from the core of their heart and tears in their eyes then HE will surely forgive. There are so many verses in The Noble Quran which will tell one or the other prayer for forgiveness in Islam.

The only power Shaitan and his accomplices have is to implant evil suggestions. They do not have the power to force the human being into evil things. It is the human who does any wrong act, Shaitan only inspires but can’t force. The decision will only and solely be of a human. Therefore, any punishment meted out to a human being is only due to the crimes they committed exercising with their own freewill.

Undoubtedly, humans commit sins but if they beg to ALLAH Azzawajal through prayers for forgiveness in Islam. They definitely have choice to refuse the evil suggestions of Shaitan. When iblees disobeyed ALLAH Ta’ala, he then asked ALLAH Ta’ala to give him the time until the Day of Judgement to deviate mankind, in order to show ALLAH Ta’ala that we are not worth what were given(status).

Insha ALLAH your entire prayers, the wazaif that you perform will surely be accepted once your sins will be forgiven by ALLAH Azzawajal.

Let us discuss few verses from The Noble Quran which reveals tells us about forgiveness.

In tubdoo khayran aw tukhfoohu aw ta’afoo ‘aan sooin fainna ALLAHA kana a’afuwwan qadeeran

English- Whether ye publish a good deed or conceal it or cover evil with pardon, verily ALLAH doth blot out (sins) and hath power (in the judgment of values).

Urdu-  اور اگرتم نیک کام اعلانیہ کر ویا اسے خفیہ کرو یا کسی برائی کو معاف کردو تو الله بڑا معاف کرنے والا قدرت والا ہے

French- Que vous fassiez du bien, ouvertement ou en cachette, ou bien que vous pardonniez un mal… Alors ALLAH est Pardonneur et Omnipotent.

Spanish- Que divulguéis un bien o lo ocultéis, que perdonéis un agravio… Alá es perdonador, poderoso.

Malay- Jika kamu melahirkan sesuatu kebaikan, atau menyembunyikannya, atau kamu memaafkan kesalahan (yang dilakukan terhadap kamu), maka sesungguhnya Allah adalah Maha Pemaaf lagi Maha Kuasa.

The Holy Quran Surah #4, An-Nisa, Verse #99

فَأُولَـٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا

Faolaika AAasa ALLAH an yaAAfuwa AAanhum wakana Allahu AAafuwwan ghafooran

English- For these, there is hope that  will forgive: For ALLAH doth blot out (sins) and forgive again and again.

Urdu-  پس امید ہے کہ ایسوں کو الله معاف کر دے اور الله معاف کرنے والا بخشنے والا ہے

French- A ceux-là, il se peut qu’ALLAH donne le pardon. ALLAH est Clément et Pardonneur.

Spanish- A éstos puede que Alá les perdone. Alá es perdonador, indulgente.

Malay- Maka mereka (yang demikian sifatnya), mudah-mudahan ALLAH maafkan mereka. Dan (ingatlah), ALLAH Maha Pemaaf, lagi Maha Pengampun.

The Holy Quran Surah #4, An-Nisa, Verse #153

يَسْأَلُكَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ ۚ فَقَدْ سَأَلُوا مُوسَىٰ أَكْبَرَ مِن ذَ‌ٰلِكَ فَقَالُوا أَرِنَا اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْ ۚ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَن ذَ‌ٰلِكَ ۚ وَآتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ سُلْطَانًا مُّبِينًا

Yasaluka ahlu alkitabi an tunazzila a’alayhim kitaban mina alssamai faqad saaloo moosaakbara min thalika faqaloo arina ALLAHA jahratan faakhathathumu alssaa’aiqatu bithulmihim thumma ittakhathoo alAAijla min baAAdi ma jaathumu albayyinatu faa’afawna a’aan thalika waatayna moosa sultanan mubeenan

English- The people of the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven: Indeed they asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: “Show us ALLAH in public,” but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and lightning. Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.

Urdu- اہلِ کتاب تجھ سےدرخواست کرتے ہیں کہ تو ان پر آسمان سے لکھی ہوئی کتب اتار لائے سو موسیٰ سے اس سے بڑی چیز مانگ چکے ہیں اور کہا ہمیں الله کو بالکل سامنے لا کر دکھا دے ان کے اس ظلم کے باعث ان پر بجلی ٹوٹ پڑی پھر بہت سی نشانیاں پہنچ چکنے کے بعد بچھڑے کو بنا لیا پھر ہم نے وہ بھی معاف کر دیا اور ہم نے موسیٰ کو بڑا رعب دیاتھا

French- Les gens du Livre te demandent de leur faire descendre du ciel un Livre. Ils ont déjà demandé à Moïse quelque chose de bien plus grave quand ils dirent: «Fais-nous voir ALLAH à découvert!» Alors la foudre les frappa pour leur tort. Puis ils adoptèrent le Veau (comme idole) même après que les preuves leur furent venues. Nous leur pardonnâmes cela et donnâmes à Moïse une autorité déclarée.

Spanish- La gente de la Escritura te pide que les bajes del cielo una Escritura. Ya habían pedido a Moisés algo más grave que eso, cuando dijeron: «¡Muéstranos a Alá claramente!» Como castigo a su impiedad el Rayo se los llevó. Luego, cogieron el ternero, aun después de haber recibido las pruebas claras. Se lo perdonamos y dimos a Moisés una autoridad manifiesta.

Malay- Ahli Kitab (kaum Yahudi) meminta kepadamu (wahai Muhammad) supaya engkau menurunkan kepada mereka sebuah Kitab dari langit. (Janganlah engkau merasa pelik), kerana sesungguhnya mereka telah meminta kepada Nabi Musa lebih besar dari itu. Mereka berkata: “(Wahai Musa) perlihatkanlah ALLAH kepada kami dengan nyata (supaya kami dapat melihatNya dan percaya kepadaNya)”. Lalu mereka disambar oleh petir dengan sebab kezaliman mereka (menderhaka kepada ALLAH); kemudian mereka pula menyembah (patung) anak lembu sesudah datang kepada mereka keterangan-keterangan (mukjizat), lalu Kami maafkan mereka dari perbuatan yang sedemikian itu (ketika mereka bertaubat). Dan Kami telah memberi kepada Nabi Musa kekuasaan yang nyata (untuk mengalahkan kaum yang kafir itu).

The Holy Quran Surah #3, Ale-‘Imran, Verse #17

الصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْمُنفِقِينَ وَالْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ

Alssabireena waalssadiqeena waalqaniteena waalmunfiqeena waalmustaghfireena bialashari

English- Those who show patience, Firmness and self-control; who are true (in word and deed); who worship devoutly; who spend (in the way of ALLAH); and who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.

Urdu- وہ صبر کرنے والے ہیں اور سچے ہیں اور فرمانبرداری کرنے والے ہیں اور خرچ کرنے والے ہیں اور پچھلی راتوں میں گناہ بخشوا نے والے ہیں

French- ce sont les endurants, les véridiques, les obéissants, ceux qui dépensent [dans le sentier d’ALLAH] et ceux qui implorent pardon juste avant l’aube.

Spanish- pacientes, sinceros, devotos, que practican la caridad y piden perdón al rayar el alba.

Malay- (Dan juga) orang-orang yang sabar (dalam menjunjung perintah ALLAH), dan orang-orang yang benar (perkataan dan hatinya), dan orang-orang yang sentiasa taat (akan perintah ALLAH), dan orang-orang yang membelanjakan hartanya (pada jalan ALLAH), dan orang-orang yang beristighfar (memohon ampun) pada waktu sahur.

The Holy Quran Surah #11, Hud, Verse #11

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ

Illa allatheena sabaroo waAAamiloo alssalihati olaika lahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeerun

English- Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness; for them is forgiveness (of sins) and a great reward.

Urdu-   مگر جو لوگ صابر ہیں اور نیکیاں کرتے ہیں ان کے لیے بخشش اوربڑا ثواب ہے

French- sauf ceux qui sont endurants et font de bonnes œuvres. Ceux-là obtiendront pardon et une grosse récompense.

Spanish- En cambio, quienes sean pacientes y obren bien, obtendrán perdón y una gran recompensa.

Malay- Kecuali orang-orang yang sabar dan mengerjakan amal soleh maka mereka itu akan beroleh keampunan dan pahala yang besar.

So it has been absolutely clear that if human are committing sins and doing mistakes, if they have felt it from the bottom of their heart and they are asking for forgiveness. Insha ALLAH, he will be forgiven soon, Ameen. So if  you think that you are struggling for long time and none of your wazifa is are working. Your sins migh tbe reason for this also. So here goes the prayer for forgiveness in Islam.

Wazifa Prayer for Forgiveness in Islam in English

Keep reciting ‘Astaghfaar- I seek forgiveness of ALLAH‘ day and night. Because Prophet Mu’hammad (Peace Be Upon Him) recited this at least 100 times every day. The full Astaghfaar is

استغفر الله ربي من كل ذنب واتوت اليه

Astaghfirullah Rabbi Min Kulli Zambinw Wa Atoobu ilayh

English- “I ask forgiveness of my sins from ALLAH who is my Lord and I turn towards Him.”

Urdu- میں الله سے اپنے گناہوں کی معافی چاہتا ہو جو میرا رب ہے جسکی طرف مجھے لوٹ کر جانا ہے

Another Astaghfaar dua:

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ 

مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتَ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِر لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

ALLAH humma anta rabbi la ilaaha illa anta khalaqtani wa aana abduka wa aana alaa ahdika wawa`dika mastata`tu

aaoo`zubika min sharri ma sana`tu aaboo oolaka binaymatika aa layya wa aaboo oo bi zambi faghfirli zunubi

fa innahu la yaghfiruzzunuba illa anta

English- ”O ALLAH! You are my Rubb. There is no true God except You. You have created me, and I am Your slave, and I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me, and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon”

Reference: AL-Bukhari Sharif, Volume #8, Book #75, Number #318

For true repentance and to be forgiven there are three prominent conditions:

1. Giving up the habit of committing sin(s) immediately;
2. Feeling regret and remorse after committing sin(s) and that too from the bottom of the heart. Means you really mean that you did a sin(s) and you are now regretting;
3. Having a firm intention never to commit the sin(s) again.

Wazifa Prayer for Forgiveness in Islam in Roman English

2. Apne gunaho par nadamat zahir karna dil ki gehrayiyon se sharminda hona;
3. Pakki niyat karna ke zindagi mein dubara kabhi gunah nahi karenge, Insha ALLAH Azzawajal.

Hadees Al Bukhari Shareef

Ye dua jo bhi ALLAH par mazboot yaqeen ke sath parega aur usi sham uski maut ho jaye wo sidha jannat mein jayega. Aur jo koi ye du’a rat ke waqt ALLAH pe yaqin ke sath parega aur subah hone se pahle agar uski maut ho jati hai to esa shakhs bhi jannati hoga.

Whoever makes this dua during the day with firm belief in it and dies on the same day (before the evening) he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah (Paradise); and whoever makes this dua during the night with firm belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah (Paradise).”
