Believers’ Dua for Forgiveness and Mercy

Rabbana zalamna anfusana wa il-lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lanakunanna minal-khasirin

Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers.

Rabbi-ghfir warham wa anta khayrur-rahimin

My Lord, forgive and have mercy; You are the best of those who show mercy.

Rabbanā ghfir lanā dhunūbanā wa-isrāfanā fī amrinā, wa-thabbit aqdāmanā, wa-nṣurnā ʿalā al-qawmi al-kāfirīn.

Our Lord, forgive us our sins and our excesses in our affairs, make our feet firm, and grant us victory over the disbelieving people.

Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba‘da idh hadaytana wa hab lana min ladunka rahmah innaka antal-Wahhab

Our Lord, do not let our hearts swerve after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. You are the Bestower.

Rabbana-ghfir li wa liwalidayya wa lil-mu’minina yawma yaqumul-hisab

Our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day the reckoning is established.

Rabbanā wasiʿta kulla shay’i-r-raḥmata-w-wa ʿilmā, fa-ghfir lil-ladhīna tābū wa-t-tabaʿū sabīlaka wa qihim ʿadhābal-jaḥīm. Rabbanā wa adkhil-hum jannāti ʿadnini-l-latī wa-ʿadtahum wa man ṣalaḥa min ābā’ihim wa azwājihim wa dhurriy-yātihim, innaka Antal-ʿAzīzu-l-Ḥakīm. Wa qihimu-s-sayyi’āt, wa man taqi-s-sayyi’āti yawma’idhin fa-qad raḥimtah, wa dhālika huwal-fawzul-ʿAẓīm.

Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your path, and protect them from the punishment of Hell-fire. Our Lord, admit them to the eternal gardens of Paradise which You have promised them, along with whoever was righteous from their fathers, their spouses and their children. Indeed, You, and only You, are the All-Mighty and All-Wise. Protect them from all evil deeds. You will have bestowed Your mercy on those You protect from the evil deeds on that Day: that is the greatest achievement indeed.
