اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِيْ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلٰى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوْءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوْءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِيْ، فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.
Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata't. A'udhu bika min sharri ma sana't, abu'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u laka bidhanbi, faghfir li fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa anta.
O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I hold to Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil I have done. I acknowledge the blessings You have given me, and I acknowledge my sin — so forgive me, for none forgives sin except You.
Virtue: Called the "master of seeking forgiveness." The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever recites it during the day with full conviction and dies before evening is among the people of Paradise, and likewise for the night.
Every phrase does something different — naming Allah as Lord, admitting servitude, owning up to failure, and asking forgiveness in the same breath as gratitude. A complete reset in five lines.
