رب إني لما أنزلت إلي من خير فقير [Rabbi innī limā anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqīr] My Lord! I am indeed needy of whatever good You may send to me

Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported Allāh's Messenger ﷺ as saying that Allāh, the Most Blessed and High, said: "O son of Adam, spend. I will spend on you. The right hand of Allāh is full and overflowing and in nothing would diminish it, by overspending day and night." [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 993a]

Sayyid al-Istighfār: The Best Prayer for Seeking Forgiveness Narrated Shaddād ibn Aws رضي الله عنه: The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allāh is: اللهم أنت ربي، لا إله إلا أنت ، خلقتني وأنا عبدك، وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي، وأبوء بذنبي، فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت The Prophet (ﷺ) 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." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6306] Transliteration: Allāhumma anta rabbī, lā ilāha illā anta,, khalaqtanī wa-anā ʿabduka, wa-anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa-waʿdika mā’istaṭaʿtu, aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿtu abūʾu laka bi-niʿmatika ʿalayy, wa-abūʾu laka bidhanbī, fa’ighfir lī fa-innahu lā yaghfir al-dhunūba illā ant Translation: O Allāh, You are my Lord, there is no God but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise (to honour it) as best as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have committed. I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for surely none can forgive sins but You.

Whoever is mindful of Allāh, He will make a way out for them, and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allāh, then He alone is sufficient for them. [Sūrah at-Talaq, Verse 2-3]

O believers! Always turn to Him in repentance, be mindful of Him, and establish prayers. And do not be polytheists like those who have divided their faith and split into sects, each rejoicing in what they have. [Sūrah Ar-Rūm, Verse 31-32]

ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار [Rabbanā ātinā fīd-dunyā ḥasanatan wa-fīl-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa-qinā ʿadhāban-nār] Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire

Abū Qatāda رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allāh Almighty but that Allāh will replace it with something better for you.” [Musnad Aḥmad 23074]

Simple words that are easy to recite daily. Keep the remembrance of Allāh moist on your tongue. سبحان الله SubḥānAllāh الحمد لله Alḥamdulillāh لا اله الا الله Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh الله اكبر Allāhu Akbar لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله Lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāh

رب إني لما أنزلت إلي من خير فقير [Rabbi innī limā anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqīr] My Lord! I am indeed needy of whatever good You may send to me

Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه reported that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: If you were not to commit sins, Allah would have swept you out of existence and would have replaced you by another people who have committed sin, and then asked forgiveness from Allah, and He would have granted them pardon. [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2748b]

Surely for Muslim men and women, believing men and women, devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allāh often - for all of them Allāh has prepared forgiveness and a great reward. [Sūrah al-ʾAḥzāb, Verse 35]

Narrated by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه‎: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The reward of the prayer offered by a person in congregation is twenty five times greater than that of the prayer offered in one's house or in the market (alone). And this is because if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds). When he offers his prayer, the angels keep on asking Allāh's Blessings and Allāh's forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at his Musalla. They say, 'O Allāh! Bestow Your blessings upon him, be Merciful and kind to him.' And one is regarded in prayer as long as one is waiting for the prayer." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 647]

Seek Allāh’s help and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allāh alone. He grants it to whoever He chooses of His servants. The ultimate outcome belongs only to the righteous. [Sūrah al-ʾAʿrāf, Verse 128]

Sayyid al-Istighfār: The Best Prayer for Seeking Forgiveness Narrated Shaddād ibn Aws رضي الله عنه: The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allāh is: اللهم أنت ربي، لا إله إلا أنت ، خلقتني وأنا عبدك، وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي، وأبوء بذنبي، فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت The Prophet (ﷺ) added.
