SAYYID AL-ISTIGHFAR ‘O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am You servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You.’ Shaddad ibn Aws (radiAllahu anhu) relates that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that the (Sayyid al- Istighfar) most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is to say (the above du'a). That "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

SAYYID AL-ISTIGHFAR
‘O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am You servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You.’
Shaddad ibn Aws (radiAllahu anhu) relates that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that the (Sayyid al-Istighfar) most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is to say (the above du'a). That "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."[sahih al-Bukhari; 8,75,318, at-Tirmidhi; 3393, an-Nasa'i; 5522, Ahmad; 16662]
DUROOD NARIYA
DUROOD GHAUTHIA
This durood was very dear to Sultan ul-Awliya Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (r.a.). He has ended all of his works and lectures with this durood.
It should be recited ten times in the day and ten times in the evening (maghrib). By doing this, one becomes closer to Allah and develops saintly qualities. Also, one will be safe from the catastrophies of the world. The mercy of Allah will pour down upon the recitor endlessly.
DUROOD TANJEENA
"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over everything".
DUROOD ALI
Imam Ali (r.a.) says that if anyone wishes to attain the maximum reward and blessings out of reciting any durood sharif, should recite this particular durood as well.
DUROOD AKBAR
Shaykh al-Akbar Mohiuddin Ibn Al-Arabi held this durood in high regard as the most sacred and accepted durood.
Brings one closer to Almighty Allah, and all of their bad habits begin to evaporate.
