Istighfaar means seeking forgiveness of Allah for the sins so far committed and turning repentant unto Allah
Abu Malik reported on the authority of his father that when a person embraced Islam, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to teach him how to observe prayer and then commanded him to supplicate in these words: O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to the path of righteousness, grant me protection and provide me sustenance.
