1. By making Tahlil, Takbir, and Hawqalah

“There is not anyone upon the earth who says: ‘*None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah,’ except that his sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.” [Tirmidhi-graded Hasan by al-Albani in Sahih Jaami’ 5636]

*La ilaha ill Allah, Allahu Akbar, and La Hawla wa la Quwata illa billah

مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ يَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ ‏.‏ إِلاَّ كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

2. After you eat

“If anyone eats food and then says: ‘*Praise be to Allah Who has fed me with this food and provided me with it through no might and power on my part,’ he will be forgiven his former and later sins…’” [Abu Dawud- graded Hasan by al-Albani in Sahih Jaami’ 6086]

*Alhamdulillah al-ladhi At’amanee hadhaa at-Ta’aam wa razaqaneehi min ghayri hawlin minnee wa laa quwatin

مَنْ أَكَلَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا الطَّعَامَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

3. After you put on your clothes

“If anyone puts on a garment and says: ‘*Praise be to Allah Who has clothed me with this and provided me with it through no might and power on my part,’ he will be forgiven his former and later sins.” [Same hadith as no 2]

*Alhamdulillah al-ladhi kasaanee hadha ath-Tawb wa razaqaneehi min ghayri hawlin minni wa laa quwatin

وَمَنْ لَبِسَ ثَوْبًا فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ

4. After your prayer

“If anyone glorifies Allah (saying Subhanallah) after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah (alhamdulillah) thirty-three times, and declares His Greatness (Allahu Akbar) thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and says to complete a hundred: ‘*There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, having no partner with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him is praise due, and He is Potent over everything,’ his sins will be forgiven even If these are as abundant as the foam of the sea.” [Muslim 597]

*Laa ilaha ill Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lahu lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer

مَنْ سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَكَبَّرَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَتِلْكَ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَقَالَ تَمَامَ الْمِائَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

5. During your day

“He who utters: ‘*Glory be to Allah who is free from all imperfections, and all praise is due to Him,’ one hundred times a day, his sins are obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean.” [Muslim 2691]

*Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi

من قال: سبحان اللهِ وبحمدِه في يومٍ مائةَ مرةٍ ، حُطَّتْ خطاياه ولو كانتْ مثلَ زبدِ البحرِ

6. Before you sleep

“Whoever says, when he goes to his bed: ‘*I seek forgiveness from Allah, [the Magnificent] the One whom there is none worthy of worship except for Him, the Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to Him’ three times, Allah shall forgive him his sins if they were like the foam of the sea, even if they were the number of leaves of the trees, even if they were the number of sand particles of `Alij, even if they were the number of the days of the world.” [Sahih Targheeb 607]

*La ilaha ill Allah wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulk, wa lahul hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer, la hawla wa la quwata illa billahil adheem. Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha ill Allah, wallahu akbar

مَن قال حِينَ يأْوِي إلى فِراشِه : « لا إِلهَ إلا اللهُ وحدَه لا شرِيكَ لهُ ، له المُلْكُ ، و له الحمدُ ، وهو على كلِّ شيءٍ قديرٌ ، لاحَوْلَ ولا قُوةَ إلا باللهِ العلىِّ العظيمِ ، سُبحانَ اللهِ ، والحمدُ للهِ ، ولا إلهَ إلا اللهُ ، واللهُ أكبرُ » ؛ غُفِرَتْ له ذنوبُه أوخطايَاهُ – شَكَّ مِسْعرٌ – وإنْ كانت مِثلَ زَبَدِ البحرِ

7. After the adhaan

“If anyone says on hearing the Mu’adhdhin: ‘*I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship but Allah alone. Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, (and that) I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as Messenger. and with Islam as the way of life,’ his sins would be forgiven.” [Muslim 386]

Ash-hadu al laa ilaha ill Allah wahdahu wa la shareek lahu wa anna Muhammadan abdahu wa rasooluhu, radeetu billah rabban, wa biMuhammadin rasoolan, wa bil islaami deenan

مَن قال حينَ يَسْمَعُ المؤذنَ : « أشهدُ أن لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ، وحدَه لا شريكَ له ، وأن محمدًا عبدُه ورسولُه ، رَضِيتُ باللهِ ربًّا، وبمحمدٍ رسولًا، وبالإسلامِ دِينًا ؛ غُفِرَ له ذنبُه

8. With your Istighfaar

“He who says: ‘*I seek the forgiveness of Allah, there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, the Ever-Living, the Self- Subsisting, and I turn to Him in repentance),’ his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield (while he was engaged in fighting for the Cause of Allah).” [Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi and graded sahih by al-Albaani]

*Astughfirullah al-ladhi la ilaha illa huwa, al-Hayyu, al-Qayyum, wa atoobu ilayhi

من قال : « أستغفِرُ اللهَ ، الذي لا إله إلا هو ، الحَيَّ القيومَ ، وأتوبُ إليه » ؛ غُفِرَ له وإن كان فَرَّ من الزَّحْفِ
