Effective and Best prayer of forgiveness of sins and evil deeds

 Best Dua(supplication) for forgiveness of sins

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “O my sins! O my sins!” 

The Prophet said to him, قُلِ

اللَّهُمَّ مَغْفِرَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَرَحْمَتُكَ أَرْجَى عِنْدِي مِنْ عَمَلِي

“Say: O Allaah, your forgiveness is vaster than my sins, and your mercy is more hopeful to me than my deeds.

The man said it, then the Prophet said, “Repeat it.” The man repeated it, then the Prophet said, “Repeat it again.” The man repeated it, then the Prophet said, “Stand up, for Allaah has forgiven you.” 

[Hakim #1994; Shu’ab al-Imān 6622-Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Suyuti]

The Most Precious thing in this world: Tawheed, Believing in one Lord, Almighty

 

Example of Worldly life: Salty water, thirst and destruction

 Al-Imām ibn al-Jawzi [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“It was said: ‘The example of a person who seeks the worldly-life is like that of a person who drinks [salt] water from the ocean. The more he drinks, the thirstier he becomes, until he is killed by it!’”
