Hasbi Rabbi

O Allah the Almighty

Protect me and guide me

To your love and mercy

Ya Allah don’t deprive me

From beholding your beauty

O my Lord accept this plea

Hasbi rabbi jallallah

Ma fi qalbi ghayrullah

My Lord is enough for me, Glory be to Allah

There is nothing in my heart except Allah

wipes away past sins

Amr ibn Al-Aas said:

“When Allah guided me to Islam, I went to the Prophet وسلن عليه هللا صلى and said to him, "O Prophet of Allah! Stretch out your hand so that I might pledge my allegiance to you." The Prophet stretched out his hand to me, but I withdrew my hand. He said "What is the matter, Amr ?" I replied, "I wish to lay down some conditions." The Prophet asked "What conditions do you wish to put forward?" I said "that all my past sins be forgiven." The Prophet said "O Amr! Do you not know that embracing Islam wipes out all past sins, and hijjrah (emigration for Allah‟s cause) wipes off all sins, and similarly pilgrimage removes all past sins."
