Is it permissible to supplicate by saying: "O Lord, I am Your humble, lowly servant, so forgive my sins, for You are the Forgiving, the Most Merciful"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to this supplication, as it includes submission, fear, humility, and obedience to God, which are essential qualities for a servant in supplication. This is in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors." It is, however, preferable to use supplications transmitted from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
