21. Master dhikr of forgiveness
اللَّهُمَّ أَنتَ ربِّي لا إلَه إلَّا أَنتَ
خَلَقتَنِي وأَنَا عَبدُك
وأَنَا عَلَى عَهدِكَ ووَعدِكَ مَا استَطَعت
أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن شَرِّ مَا صَنَعت
أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعمَتِكَ عَليَّ وأَبُوءُ بِذَنبِي
فَاغفِر لِي
فَإنَّهُ لا يَغفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إلَّا أَنت

O Allāh! You are my Lord, there is no god but You.
You created me and I am your slave,
and I uphold Your pledge and promise as best as I can.
I seek Your protection against the evil that I have committed.
I acknowledge Your blessing upon me and I acknowledge my sin.
So forgive me, for none can forgive sins except You.

عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ رضى الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم "سَيِّدُ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ" قَالَ "وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مِنَ النَّهَارِ مُوقِنًا بِهَا فَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ فَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَهْوَ مُوقِنٌ بِهَا فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ فَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ"
Shaddad Ibn Aws narrated the Messenger of Allah said: "The best of istighfar (seeking forgiveness) is (to say): [this dua]. Whoever says it in the evening with firm conviction and then dies in that night, will enter Paradise."
