Please Forgive Me: 70 Ways to Ask by Fatima Az-Zahra

Please Forgive Me is a deeply spiritual and reflective book that explores seventy timeless supplications (du’as) for forgiveness, traditionally attributed to Imam Sayyidina Ali ibn Abi Talib and gifted to Imam Hasan al-Basri (may Allah be pleased with them).

In this work, Dr Fatimah Az-Zahra guides readers on a journey of introspection, renewal, and divine connection, helping us rediscover the healing power of seeking Allah’s forgiveness. Each supplication is accompanied by an English translation, a concise reflection, and a poetic Munajat (intimate conversation with Allah), creating a deeply personal experience of prayer and contemplation.

More than a collection of du’as, Please Forgive Me offers a “move-forward” approach to spiritual growth — one that nurtures the heart, encourages self-awareness, and rekindles hope. Grounded in Qur’anic wisdom and Prophetic guidance, this book provides fresh insights into how we can live with greater compassion, humility, and optimism.

A meaningful companion for daily reflection, Ramadan preparation, or Hajj and Umrah, Please Forgive Me reminds every believer that forgiveness is both a divine invitation and a path toward peace.

 “Call upon Me, I will respond to you.” — Surah Ghafir (40:60)

Please Forgive Me is a book of hope — one that leaves no room for despair, only closeness to Allah.
