Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem As Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatuh! Syedul-IstagfaarThe most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah http://muslimwebpage.com/islamicpages/books/b96s.gif Hadith On the authority of Shaddad ibn Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, the Prophet, Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam said, "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: "Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa, anta khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana 'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, A'udhu bika min Sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya, wa Abu'u bidhanbi faghfirli innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." [O Allah, you are my Lord. None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am your slave, and I abide by your covenant and promise as best I can. I take refuge in You from the evil which I have committed. I acknowledge your favor/blessings upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily, none can forgive except You.] The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam ) added. "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise." { Al-Bukhari } http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8272/u339ak.jpg Courtesy: Brother Haji Khan [email protected] -- Alahumma infa`ni bima `allamtani wa `allamni ma yanfa`uni!
