„If a man commits a sin, but knows that Allah sees him, he will receive
forgiveness even without asking for it.”
“If a man says: „Exaltations be to You! I have wronged myself and done
something bad, so forgive me, for there is no one to forgive sins but You,” his
sins are forgiven, even if they are like a trail of ants.”
It is related that the best prayer for forgiveness is this: “O Allah, You are my Lord
and I am Your worshipper. You created me. I am fulfilling my covenant and
promise to You as best I can. I take refuge with You from the evil I have
perpetrated. I acknowledge You as the source of my blessings, and I
acknowledge my own responsibility for my sins. I have wronged myself and I
confess my sin, so forgive me my sins, those I have committed in the past and
those I shall commit in the future. Surely no one forgives all sins but You.”

Khalid ibn Ma‟dan said: Allah, the Almighty says: “Dearest to Me of My
forgiveness even without asking for it.”
