Friday Dua
Dua 1: Seeking Forgiveness on Friday Morning
Anas ibn Malik I reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that whoever recites the following three times on Friday morning before the Fajr prayer will be forgiven, even if his sins are as abundant as the foam of the sea:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ❁
Astaghfiru Llāha lladhī lā ilāha illā huwa l-Ḥayyu l-Qayyūmu wa-atūbu ilayh.
I seek forgiveness from Allah, besides Whom there is no god, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, and I repent to Him.

Dua 2: Dua When Entering the Mosque on Friday
Abu Hurayrah I reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque on Friday, he would hold the two doorposts and supplicate with these words.
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَوْجَهَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ ❁ وَأَقْرَبَ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْكَ ❁ وَأَفْضَلَ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ وَرَغِبَ إِلَيْكَ ❁
Allāhumma jʿalnī awjaha man tawajjaha ilayka, wa-aqraba man taqarraba ilayka, wa-afḍala man sa'alaka wa-raghiba ilayk.
O Allah, make me the most eminent of those who turn towards You, the closest of those who draw near to You, and the best of those who ask You and turn to You in hope.
