Which Duas Should One Recite While Repenting To Allah?

Which duas should one recite while repenting to Allah?

As a principle, the person who is going to repent should establish a two-rakat prayer, send praise upon Allah and beace and blessings upon His Messenger (saw), repent and ask for forgiveness, and then complete it with salawat and praise .

Two of several duas that are made by the Prophet for forgiveness are as follows:

“O Allah! I have done great injustice to myself and none except You forgives sins, so bestow on me a forgiveness from You, and Have Mercy on me, You are the Forgiver, the Merciful.” (Bukhari, Adhan 149; Muslim, Dhikr, 48)

“O, Allah! Forgive my sins, the mistakes I made by negligence and stepping out of line, and all my crimes which you know better than me! O, Allah! Forgive the mistakes I made seriously or jokingly and the sins I committed by mistake or daliberately ! I confess that I have all these mistakes. O, Allah! Forgive all the sins that I have committed until now, that I will commit from now on, that I hid and revealed, that I committed intemperately, and that you know better than me! You are the One Who makes a person successful and Who makes him lag behind. You are capable of doing anything.” (Bukhari, Da’awat, 60)
