Duaa Requesting Allah Ta'ala's Forgiveness

قَالَا  رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا اَنْفُسَنَا وَاِنْ لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا
وَتَرْ حَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الخاسِرِيْنَ 

Qaala. Rabbana Zalamna Anfusanaa wa Illam Taghfir
Lana Watarhamnaa Lanakunna Minal Khaasireen

They said: ''Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls:
If Thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy,
we shall certainly be lost.''

Our Sheikh explains, that just like a child who was being naughty,
or did something wrong, perhaps the parents would punish him a
little, perhaps without punishment, they tell the child, ''Ask for
Maaf now .... say, ' forgive me' .'' When the parents indicate this,
it means that they will accept the request for forgiveness, and they
will forgive the child. When Allah Ta'ala told us, and through Adam
عليه السلام, Allah Ta'ala has taught the whole of mankind that whenever
you will err, I have taught you the words of how to ask for forgiveness,
and when you have asked Me, in accordance with how I have taught you,
with those Royal words, I will accept your supplication, I will forgive
you. Allah Ta'ala has given us the guarantee of acceptance. This is the
reason why Allah Ta'ala has given us the words. Our Sheikhدامت بركاتهم
says that Allah Ta'ala,

Sab se pyaare ne sab se pyaare
ko sab se pyaare wazeefa aur kalima diya

He who is the most loved Allah, has bestowed His most
beloved Nabi-e-Kareemصلى الله عليه وسلم, the most beloved
words to keep contact with Him (Allah Ta'ala)

رَبِّ اغْفِر وَارْحَم وَاَنْتَ خَيرُ الرّاحِمِينَ
Rabbigh fir war ham wa anta khairur raahimen.
                      
So say: ''O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy
for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!''
                                                (Surah Al Mu'min :118)

Allah Ta'ala, has taught us to ask thus: O AllahTa'ala, You forgive me
You have mercy You are the best of those who show mercy. Further,
a Duaa which appears in the Hadith Shareef is:

اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ كَرِيمٌ تُحِبُُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّى      
Allahumma innaka afuwwun kareemun 
tuhibbul afua fa'fuanni.

'' O Allah! You are the Forgiver,
You love to forgive. Therefore forgive me.

Every person has something which he loves. Some may love to sleep.
Some love food. Some love sport. Some love their car.  Somebody his
business, ''.... O Allah, what You love is to forgive. When this is the case
O Allah, please do the act which you love to carry out,... forgive me.'' So
Allah Ta'ala, has taught us in various forms. The Hadith is also what Allah
Ta'ala has taught.

وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُّوحى
Wa maa yantiqu anil hawaa in huwa illa wahyu yooha

 ''Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) desire.
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him.''
                                      (Surah An-Najm:3-4)

It is also from Allah Ta'ala. Kalaam-e-Paak (Qur'an Majeed) is Wahi-e-Matloo,
that Wahi which we make Tilaawat of, and Hadith Shareef is Wahi-e-ghair Matloo.
It is also Wahi, but not that which is recited, as we make Tilaawat of the Qur'an
Shareef. Therefore, Allah Ta'ala taught us the words of requesting forgiveness,
which means that Allah Ta'ala wants to accept our supplication. Allah Ta'ala has
promised to accept.
