In this article, you’ll be learning the meaning of the Dua Allahumma Inni Zalamtu Nafsi in English. This Dua is also known as Dua e Masura which is one of the best Duas for forgiveness. This Dua was taught by our Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) which can be seen in the Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 834.
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that:
I asked Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) to teach me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He told me to say, “Allahumma inni zalumtu nafsi zulman kathiran, Wala yaghfiru dh-dhunuba illa anta, fa ghfir li maghfiratan min `indika, wa r-hamni, innaka anta l-ghafuru r-rahim (O Allah! I have done great injustice to myself and none except You forgives sins, so bestow on me a forgiveness from You, and Have Mercy on me, You are the Forgiver, the Merciful).

The above image has Dua e Masura in English text along with the Hadith. So you can download the image for ease and practice the Dua whenever you want.
If you have been wondering when to read Dua e Masura in Namaz, then remember that this Dua is recited after Darood-e-Ibrahim, i.e. before concluding your namaz (Salat). However, this Dua is recommended but not mandatory. If you recite this Dua then it’s good, the prayer will get accepted without reciting Dua e Masura as well.
As the translation itself talks about benefits, we must keep the habit of reciting Allahumma Inni Zalamtu Nafsi Dua in every prayer and seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT) who is The Most Forgiving.
