Humans make mistakes, and asking for forgiveness is a part of the life cycle. Learning from mistakes is a behaviour that is the same for every human being. However, what differentiates them is their recognition of these mistakes or sins. This shows how much they have learned from their mistakes and their willingness to gain forgiveness. As much as they are willing to seek forgiveness Allah will guide them with the best. However, reading dua for forgiveness brings you closer to Allah. These are the prayers that develop a sense of gratitude and understanding among humans. https://islamicduaghar.com/dua-for-forgiveness/
