Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: What is the best form of seeking forgiveness?

Answer:
O Allah, this is the formulation of seeking forgiveness.
The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship except You. You have created me, and I am Your servant, and I am faithful to Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I admit my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.سيد الاستغفار. اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت خلقتني وأنا عبدك وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي وأبوء بذنوبي إنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت
Sahih al-Bukhari 6306
This is the master of seeking forgiveness. Yes.
