You love most those who have love for Your Apostles. You are\nmore sufficient for one who believes in You. You know their secret what\nis in their hearts and You know the hidden secrets of their behaviour.\nThis knowledge is of their disconcertments, that is why their secrets are\ndisclosed for You and their hearts are full of sorrow. When they are\nhorrified of travels they remember You and if they are in disaster, they\nbeseech for help because they know all matters are in Your control and\nthe way of escape depends on Your will. O Allah! If I fail to ask about my\ndesire show me the correct way and keep my mind towards it because it\nis not improbable from Your guidance not surprising of Your leadership.\nO my Lord! Make me ready for Your pardon and not for justice (It is\ndifficult to escape without forgiveness) O Allah! You have revealed Your\nHoly book on Your Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and said: (1) They slept very little\nin the night and prayed for Your forgiveness in the morning. So I also\nask You for forgiveness and I turn towards You. (2) You are great and\nSuperior and have said: Follow the people from where they go and pray\nfor pardon from Allah. Indeed Allah is forgiving and merciful. And I ask for\npardon and repent (3) You are Great and Superior and have said: O\nProphet! Forgive them and accept their repentance and make them\naware of it and when you intend to do, have faith on Allah because Allah\nlikes the faithful. I also ask for ablution and repent. (4) Allah You are the\ngreat and superior You have said those who showed high handedness,\nwould come to you and ask for absolution from You and Your Prophet\n(s.a.w.a.), they would have found that Allah is merciful and Forgiving. I\nalso ask for forgiveness and repent (5) Allah You are the great and have\nsaid: One who commits bad deeds and is unjust and then pray for\nforgiveness, Allah forgives him. He is Merciful. Now I repent and ask for\nforgiveness. (6) Allah, You are Great and Superior and have said: Why\ndon't they repent and why don't they pray for pardon? Allah is Forgiving\nand Merciful. And I pray for Pardon and repent. (7) Allah, You are Great\nand have said: Allah will not chastise them as long as the Apostle is with\nthem. Allah will not curse them until they beg pardon of Allah. And now I\nbeg pardon of Him and repent (8) Allah You are Great and Superior and\nYou have said: O my Apostle! You ask pardon for them or do not ask for\nthe pardon for them. If you will pray seventy times Allah will not accept. I\nbeg for Your pardon and repent. (9) Allah, You are Great and Superior\nand have said: The Prophet and his believers have no right to pray for\nforgiveness for polytheists, not even if they related to them. They are\nconsidered the inmates of Hell. And I seek for forgiveness and repent\n(10) And You are the great and Superior and have said: Ibrahim\u2019s (a.s.)\nprayer for forgiveness was only for Azar for his given promise and\nbecause of the given promise he asked forgiveness from Allah. And I\nseek pardon from You and repent. (11) Allah, You are the Great and\nSuperior and have said: You all seek forgiveness of Allah and repent.\nHe will bestow You the benefits from His excellent treasures. He will\nbestow the robe of honour to all. I seek for forgiveness and repent.\nAllah, You are the Great and have said: Seek forgiveness from Allah and\nthen repent. Allah will send rain from the sky and increase your strength\nand do not be disobedient like the culprits. And I seek pardon from You\nand repent. (12) Allah, You are the Great and Superior and said: Allah\nhas created you from dust and settled you on it. So ask forgiveness from\nAllah and repent. No doubt He is very near to you and accepts your\nprayer. And I seek forgiveness and repent. You have said: You are the\nGreat and ask for forgiveness and then repent.

And\nasked the woman to ask forgiveness for your sin because certainly you\nare a sinner. And I beseech pardon for my sin and repent. (14) And You\nhave said You are honorable and Superior.
