What to say and do if you commit a sin

The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem

Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.

  1. ((مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذنِبُ ذَنْباً فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ)).

    Ma min 'abdin yudhnibu dhanban fayuhsinut-tuhoor, thumma yaqoomu fayusallee rak'atayn, thumma yastaghfirullaha illa ghafarallahu lah.

    (Any servant who commits a sin and as a result, performs ablution, prays two units of prayer (i.e. two rakʿas) and then seeks Allah’s forgiveness, Allah would forgive him.)

The transliteration is generated by Waqtazan from the voweled Arabic as a reading aid — the Arabic and the recitation remain the reference.
