Although Qur'an was sent down for the guidance of Muslims, it is no less a Divine Scripture for all Mankind to seek guidance from. In fact those non Muslims who have the honour to have read it, a majority of them has reverted to Islam for the see plain truth in every word that this last of the Divine Scripturas contain.
(81:27) It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world,
While it is a source of spiritual guidance, it also solaces the hearts of those who get astray and commit sins when lured in by the machinations of the devilish forces. Ad then they feel remorse and so not know what to to do and how to seek forgiveness and repent their bad deed. For those, at many a places in Qur'an, Allah puts just the right words in their mouths as how to seek forgiveness and repentance. Today we share four very forceful invocations from Qur'an that when recited repeatedly with a lamenting heart, may not only lessen the burden of sin, but also invokes the mercy of Allah who is oft forgiving and merciful:
- Our Lord, forgive us our sins, and wipe out our evil deeds and make us die with the truly pious. [Surah 3 Al-i'Imran: 193]
- Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us we shall surely be among the losers [Surah 7. Al A'raf:23]
- Our Lord, we believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful [Surah 23 Al Muminun :109, 111]
- My Lord! I have indeed inflicted wrong on myself, so do forgive me [Surah 28. Al Qasas: 16]
Recite these forgiveness prayers much too often to invoke Allah's mercy for you. May Allah help us understand Qur'ān and help us to act upon the commandments of Allah contained therein. Aameen.

Jazak Allah. May Almighty Allah bless you for this kaar e khair my dear Jalal Hameed Bhatti.
Please continue these blogs.
This is a very nobel piece of work, we all need to ask Almighty Allah for forgiveness n seek blessing.
We make number of intentional n unintentional sins, if we don't pray, don't ask fo forgiveness, the life would become miserable, greed, depression, difficult time n losses would be just waiting.
Allah is Merciful, Raheem n Rehman the moment we beg for pardon, bow down, pray n shed just one tear from heart n ask for forgiveness, Allah accepts n rains his unlimited blessings. So always pray n stay humble.
