[SURAH AL-A`RAF, VERSE 23]Dua of Yunus (A.S) repenting to Allah in the belly of the whale:”LAA ILAAHA ILLAA ANTA SUBHAANAKA INNY KUNTU MINATHAULIMEEN” [Al-‘Anbya’ : 87]“There is none worthy of worship except You. You are pure. Verily I am amongst the oppressors.” [21:87]The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said about the Invocation of Yunus “None who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty.” [At-Tirmidhi]Nooh (A.S) asked for the forgiveness of Allaah The Almighty, repentingRabbi Inneee A-o’od’u Bika An As-alaka Maa Laysa Lee Bihee I’lm Wa Illaa Taghfirlee Wa Tarh’amneee Akum Minal Khaasireen [11:47]”My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers.” (Surat Hūd, 11: 47)We must recite this dua’a to have full faith in the wisdom of Allah under all good and bad circumstances because Allah is all-knowing; and humbly seek His help to keep ourselves on the right path.Say: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).Say: Astaghfirullah al-ladhi la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qayyum wa atubu ilayhiIt says in hadith, whoever says it seven times his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield.Say: Subhan Allah wa bhihamdihiWhoever says it hundred times, his sins will be forgiven though they may be as much as the foam of the sea.Say: La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lah lahul mulku wa lahaul hamdu wa huwa ala kuli shay’in qadeer.And say the many other forms of repentance that are prescribed by Allah.”Allahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran wa la ya’ghfirudh dhunuuba illa anta fa’ghfir li ma’ghfiratan min ‘indika warhamni innaka antal ‘ghafurur rahim.” Translation : “O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself and You alone can forgive sins, so grant me forgiveness from you and have mercy on me. You are the forgiving and Merciful One.Allahumm-aghfir li, warhamni, wa-hdini, wa ‘afini, warzuqni”O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, guard me against harm and provide me with sustenance and salvation.” [Muslim]ALLAH HAS FULL ABILITY TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT! AND ONLY HE (SWT) HAS THAT ABILITY.The Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily your Lord is Generous and Shy. If His servant raises his hands to Him (in supplication) He becomes shy to return them empty.” [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi]
