Morning adhkar

Sayyid al-Istighfar — the master supplication of seeking forgiveness

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Transliteration: Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana abduk, wa ana ala ahdika wa waʼdika ma stataʼtu, audhu bika min sharri ma sanaʼtu, abuʼu laka bi-niʼmatika alayya wa abuʼu laka bi-dhanbi faghfir li, fa-innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba illa ant.

Translation: O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I keep Your covenant and Your pledge as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me — for none can forgive sins but You.

Rabbi, asʼaluka khayra ma fi hadhihi-l-laylati wa khayra ma baʼdaha, wa aʼudhu bika min sharri ma fi hadhihi-l-laylati wa sharri ma baʼdaha.

Translation: We have entered the evening, and to Allah belongs all dominion this evening. Praise be to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion, to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things capable. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what is after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what is after it.
