To err is human. We must know that no one is perfect. ALLAH Ta’ala created the man and making mistakes is the nature of every humankind. The significant and the most required thing for the entire Ummah. Making mistakes is committing sins sometimes from the perspective of Islam, Indeed.

When these mistakes becomes sins, regardless of the fact that they are major or minor. They need to be removed or washed off as soon as possible from the lives of humankind. Reason behind this is hardly our prayers get accepted when we are indulged in tons of sins. The stigma must be washed off. Every Muslims wants their sins to be forgiven aiming to get their any kind of wishes fulfilled by ALLAH Subhanahu Wata ‘Ala.

Doesn’t matter whether this wish is asking to convert the impossible task into possible. Or could be for the ultimate and the only biggest desire for human kind ever: getting a place in Jannah. Each individual knew himslef, the number of sins they committed in the past, the grievousness of sins they perpetrated.

They are well aware of the deeds they carried out during their past. What I recommend to you is do not forget to ask ALLAH Azzawajal for forgiveness of your all sins. Insha ALLAH furthermore, we will discuss  about the dua for forgiveness of all your sins in Islam, from the perspective of ALLAH Subhanahu Wata ‘Ala and HIS Beloved Messenger Mustafa SallALLAHU Alayhe Wasallan  (Peace Be Upon Him) and Islam.

Our sins might be weighing more than the good deeds. So, keep asking consistently ALLAH Ta’ala for your forgiveness and to make lessen them. Make it habit make it happen. Refers if you make it your habit you will surely get the forgiveness, if you will get the forgiveness, you will surely get a lovely place in Jannah. You are only alive in this moment, you better sorry for the sins you did. Ain’t you? Get rid of bad habit of not forgiving others. You need to forgive others as well if you want yourself to be forgiven. If you forgive others ALLAH will surely forgive you, indeed, Ameen.

“Say: ‘O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of God: for God forgives all sins (except shirk): for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'” (39:53)

The aforesaid terms and conditions that must be met in order to attain forgiveness from ALLAH Subhanahu Wata ‘Ala:

1. The sin has been committed due to the ignorance. It should have not been committed with the intention that, “Commit the sin as ALLAH Ta’ala is forgiving, so HE will surely forgive us.”
2. The man who have committed that sin must be required promptly to feel guilty and turn that into shame and it must express it’s repentance from the core of his heart after committing a sin out of ignorance;
3. Post asking for forgiveness, that person must make a promise or oath to “direct his ways towards the right path”, and always stick to his promise.

“…if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented and amended (your conduct), lo! ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (6:54)

Seeking Forgiveness of All Sins through Salatu-ul-Taubah

The prayer of repentance or Salt-ul-Tawbah is prescribed in Sharee’ah

The scholars are unanimously agreed that the prayer of repentance or Salt-ul-Tawbah is prescribed in Sharee’ah. Abu Dawood (1521) narrated that Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may ALLAH be pleased with Him) said:

I heard the Messenger of ALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhe Wasallam (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be Upon Him) says: “There is no one who commits a sin then purifies himself well and stands and prays two rak’ahs, then asks Allaah for forgiveness, but ALLAH will forgive him. 

After this He recited this verse: ‘And those who, when they have committed Faahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allaah and ask forgiveness for their sins; — and none can forgive sins but Allaah — and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know’ [Aal ‘Imraan 3:135].” Classed as sahaah by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

Prayers for Forgiveness in Islam

The Reason to Perform the Prayer of Repentance or Salat-ul-Tawbah

If any Muslim has fallen into sins. Regardless of the fact that it major or minor. He must have to repent straight way from his heart. He should pray two raka’h optional prayers with the intention of asking for forgiveness from ALLAH Subhanahu Wata ‘Ala.

The Time to Perform the Prayer of Repentance or Salat-ul-Tawbah

This is a Mustahab prayer. A Muslim can perform this immediately after committing the sin. The sinner must not delay in this and should hasten to ask for seeking forgiveness from ALLAH Ta’ala. Better be it offered before a Muslim dies. It is good if a Muslim who has committed the sin offers this prayer immediately, in other circumstances, it should be before his death. In case, if a Muslim is on the death bed and his soul has been extracting out of his throat, he can make an intention and ask ALLAH Azzawajal to seek forgiveness. He will surely be forgiven, Ameen. ALLAHUMMA Ameen.

The prayer of repentance is prescribed at all times. Even when the prayers are disallowed (such as after late after noon (‘Asr) prayer). It is one of the prayers that are done for a reason, so it is recommended when the reason for it is present.

Where to Perform the Prayer of Repentance or Salat-ul-Tawbah?

The Prayer of Repentance or Salat-ul-Tawbah should be offer alone and not of congregation. It is better not to offer this Nifl prayer in congregation likewise in early morning, noon,late after noon, twilight and night prayers.

Salat-ul-Taubah ada karne ke liye kisi bhi behtar waqt do rakah nifl ada kare. ye nifli namaz hoti hai iske ada karne ke bad niche di hui dua parhiye aur uske bad ro-rokar girh-girhakar ALLAH Pak se apne gunaho ki mafi mangiye, Insha ALLAH maf honge, Ameen.
