Dua for Forgiveness and Mercy
✨ رَبَّنَآ اٰمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ.
Translation :
Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us: You are the Best of those who are merciful. (23:109)
Transliteration :
Rabbanā āmannā fa-ghfir lanā war-ḥamnā wa Anta khayru-r-rāḥimīn.
Hadith:
Ibn Kathir (raḥimahūllāh) explains that forgiveness entails two things: firstly, the sin being concealed by Allah and secondly, not being punished for the sin. And whenever mercy is mentioned along with forgiveness, such as in the du‘ā’ here, it includes the hope that Allah does not permit one to fall into that act again.
