You're not perfect, so don't be among the losers

[Pippin1376]

:salams

When you have nothing to do, remember Allah and when you remember Allah make sincere tawbah. We are sinners by nature, so we need to constantly purify ourselves. There are many du'as to read for forgiveness, like Allahumma inni afoo'un tohibul afwa fa'fuanni (Oh Allah you are the Oft-Forgiving, so forgive me)

But, here are some du'as that are taken from the Quran. Inshallah, while reading the du'as please make it your intention that you are reading this to help purify yourself, inshallah. May Allah guide us, forgive us, and bless us with Jannat-ul-Firdos. Ameen.


Duas:

1. Rabbana la tu'akhizna in-nasina aw akh-ta'na. Rab-bana wa la tahmil 'alayna isran kama hamaltahu 'ala-lladhina min qablina, Rab-bana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih, wa-'fu 'anna wa 'ghfirlana warhamna anta Maulana fansurna 'alal-qawmil kafirin
   
   [O our Lord! Do not hold us responsible if we forget or make a mistake. O our Lord, do not lay on us a burden such as You laid on those before us. O our Lord, do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength (to bear). Pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Lord-master, so help us against the unbelieving people) [surah Baqarah; 2:286]
   
   
2. Rabbana innana amanna faghfir lana dhunuubana wa qinna 'adhaban-Naar
   
   (Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us, then, our sins, and save us from the agony of the Fire) [surah Al' Imran; 3: 16]
   
   
3. Rabbana-ghfir lana dhunuubana wa israfana fi amrina wa thabbit aqdamana wansurna 'alal qawmil kafireen
   
   (Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything We may have done that transgressed our duty: Establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith) [surah Al' Imran; 3: 147]
   
   
4. Rabbana Dhalamna anfusina wa il lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lana kuna minal-khasireen
   
   [Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost.) [surah Al-A'raf; 7: 23]
   
   
5. Anta Waliyyuna faghfir lana war-hamna wa anta khair-ulghgfireen
   
   ((O Lord) You are our guardian, so forgive us and have mercy on us and You are the best of the forgivers) [surah Al-A'raf; 7: 155]
   
   
6. Rabbana ghfir li wa li wallidayya wa lil Mu'mineena yawma yaqumul hisaab
   
   (O our lord, forgive me and my parents and believers on the day when the reckoning shall come to pass.) [surah Ibrahim; 14: 41]
   
   
7. Rabbi aghfir warham wa anta khayrur Rahimiin
   
   (O Lord, forgive and have mercy, For Thou art the Best of those who show mercy.) [surah Mu'minun; 23: 118]
   
   
8. Rabbi inni dhalamtu nafsi faghfir li faghafara lahu innahu huwaal ghafur-ur raheem
   
   (O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul! Do Thou then forgive me!) [surah Qassas; 28: 16]
   
   
9. Rabbi ighfir lee
   
   (O my Lord! Forgive me) [surah Saad; 38: 35]
   

If you have any other du'as, please share them inshallah so we can have more ways to purify ourselves.

Re: You're not perfect, so don't be among the losers

its so easy how we fall amongst the losers and dont seek repentance, yet the Prophet SAW, the most perfect of humans, used to ask for forigveness everyday:

The Prophet SAW said:It is a heavy thing for my heart if I do not seek Allaahs forgivness 100 times a day (muslim)

I have the same problem with transliteration :o

Here are the Du'as in Arabic:

1. لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَآ أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
   
   
2. رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
   
   
3. ربَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
   
   
4. رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
   
   
5. أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ
   
   
6. رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ
   
   
7. رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
   
   
8. رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَغَفَرَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
   
   
9. رَبِّ اغْفِرْ
