Dua e Akasha in Arabic with Translation

دعائے عکاشہ رحم اور بخشش طلب کرنے کے لیے اللہ سبحانہ وتعالیٰ کے لیے سب سے پرجوش اور اعلیٰ ترین دعا ہے۔ اس کا مقصد اللہ کا قرب حاصل کرکے اپنے دلوں کو صاف کرنا ہے۔ یہ دعا تمام مسلمانوں کے لیے ایک موقع فراہم کرتی ہے کہ وہ جان بوجھ کر اور غیر ارادی طور پر کیے گئے تمام گناہوں اور برے اعمال کی معافی حاصل کر لیں۔

Dua Akasha is the most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah. Whoever says 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]
