رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
Rabbigh-fir li wa tub 'alayya innaka Antat-Tawwabur-Rahim
My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance. Indeed, You are the Acceptor of Repentance, the Most Merciful.
Ibn Umar (RA) said: "We used to count that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say this one hundred times in a single gathering." One hundred times — in one sitting. If the most forgiven man in history sought forgiveness this persistently, what about us? The repetition is not mechanical; it is a conversation — each utterance peeling back another layer of self-awareness.
