My Journey to Lose 20kg

[1] The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to say, “O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, dignified restraint, and freedom from need.

  (Allahumma inni as’aluka’l huda wa’t tuqa wa’l `afafa wa’l ghina)” [Sahih Muslim]

اللَّهُمَّإِنِّيأَسْأَلُكَالْهُدَىوَالتُّقَىوَالْعَفَافَوَالْغِنَى

[2] The following supplication has been narrated by Qutb al-Din al-Hanafi in his Kitab Ad`iyat al-Hajj wa al-`Umra and is attributed to Hasan al-Basri.

“O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin in which I gave preference to my base desire over Your obedience and my passion over Your command - thus I contented myself with Your wrath and subjected myself to Your displeasure, though You had forbidden me, presented Your admonition to me, and established the proof of it to me through Your warnings [of punishment in Your revelations]. I seek Your forgiveness, O Allah, and repent to You.

 (Allahumma inni astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin qaddamtu fihi shahwati `ala ta`atik wa athartu fihi mahabbati `ala amrik fa ardaytu nafsi bi ghadabik wa `arradtuha li sakhatik idh nahaytani wa qaddamta ilayya fihi indharak wa tahhajajta `alayya fihi bi wa`idik wa astaghfiruka Allahumma wa atubu ilayk)”

 اللَّهُمَّإِنِّىأِسْتَغْفِرُكَلِكُلِّذَنْبٍقَدَّمْتُفِيْهِشَهْوَتِىعَلَىطَاعَتِكَوَآثَرْتُفِيهِمَحَبَّتِىعَلَىأَمْرِكَفَأَرْضَيْتُنَفْسِىبِغَضَبِكَوَعَرَّضْتُهَالِسَخَطِكَإِذْنَهَيْتَنِىوَقَدَّمْتَإِلَيَّفِيْهِإِنْذَارَكَوَتَحَجَّجْتَعَلَيَّفِيْهِبِوَعِيْدِكَوَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَاللَّهُمَّوَأَتُوْبُإِلَيْكَ

[3] “O Allah, Your mercy I am hopeful for, so do not leave me to myself for the blink of an eye, and put all my affairs in order, there is no god but You.

(Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata `ayanin wa aslih li sha’ni kullihi la ilaha illa anta)” [Abu Dawud]

 اللَّهُمَّرَحْمَتَكَأَرْجُوْفَلَاتَكِلْنِيإِلَىنَفْسِيطَرْفَةَعَيْنٍوَأَصْلِحْلِيشَأْنِيكُلِّهِلَاإِلَهَإِلَّاأَنْتَ

Say the supplications with heart and sincerity, seeking closeness to the Divine, and seeking to be pulled out of the darkness of sin. Don’t lose heart, take the positive means to stop the sin, and always ask Allah as He loves to be asked.
