Allahumma Innaka Afuwwun Dua Hadith

allahumma innaka afuwwun dua is not an ayat of Quran. This dua is from hadith of Rasul Allah sallalahu alaihe wa sallam.

Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa’fu annee

 “O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me” or “O Allah, You are Pardoning and love to pardon, so pardon me.”’Afwu means to pardon and wipe away the sin as if it never occurred.
[At-Tirmidhi (3513) and authenticated by An-Nawawi in Al-Adhkaar (247)]

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ وَافَقْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ مَا أَدْعُو قَالَ ‏ “‏ تَقُولِينَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was narrated from ‘Aishah that she said:

“O Messenger of Allah, what do you think I should say in my supplication, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?” He said: “Say: ‘Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).'” Sunan Ibn Majah 3850

Muhammad (PBUH) said: If Shab-e-Qadr is to be achieved, it is the last of Ramadan. They have been kept for odd nights of ten days.

Muhammad (PBUH) said: Whoever stays in the state of faith on the night of Qadr for reward, The sins that he has committed before are erased, and the person who is fasting in Ramadan for the sake of reward while in the state of faith. Even past sins are forgiven.

Allahumma innaka afuwwun dua for Laylatul Qadr

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَلِمْتُ أَىُّ لَيْلَةٍ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ مَا أَقُولُ فِيهَا قَالَ ‏ “‏ قُولِي اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ كَرِيمٌ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

I asked: “O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it?” He (ﷺ) replied, “You should supplicate: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).”(tirmidhi)

Repent, Condition for Tawbah

Conditions for tawbah (to seek forgiveness for major sins):
1 – Be sincere towards Allah – ensure that you are repenting purely for His sake
2 – Stop doing the sin
3 – Regret committing the sin
4 – Have a strong determination to not return to the sin

Read the Lailatul Qadr du’a ” Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa’fu annee “every time you get a moment

  1. Pray Isha & Fajr in congregation
  2. Make the du’as from your du’a list
  3. Give in charity even if it is a small amount
  4. Recite the Quran, as much as possible even
    a small amount
