A Recommended Dua After Takbīr
Issue No.876- It is recommended that after the takbīrat-ul-iḥrām, one should recite this with the intention of rajā’ (seeking the pleasure of Allah (swt)):يا مُحْسِنُ قَدْ اَتاکَ الْمُسىءُ وَ قَدْ أَمَرْتَ الْمـُحْسِنَ اَنْ يَتَجاوَزَ عَنِ الْمُسيئِ اَنتَ الْمـُحْسِنُ وَ أَنَا الْمُسيئُ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد وَ تَجاوَزْ عَنْ قَبِيحِ ما تَعْلَمُ مِنّى(O Beneficent Lord! This sinful servant of Yours has come before You and You have ordered the righteous and the beneficent ones to pardon the sinners. You are the Beneficent, and I am a sinner. Bestow Your blessings on Muhammad and his progeny, and pardon my evil acts of which You are aware).
