Seeking forgiveness

Refuge from what you have not even done yet

The Prophet ﷺ sought protection from the evil of his deeds, and of deeds not yet done.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَشَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ʿamiltu wa min sharri mā lam aʿmal.

“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, and from the evil of what I have not done.”
