Du‘ā' Karāwī is a religious ceremony in Nizari Isma'ilism during which the Isma'ili ask god for forgiveness through their Murshid, or, "Imam of the Time".[1][clarification needed]
The Qur'an states that the Muslims must repent of their sins; it further stipulates that a believer (mu'min) must approach the presence of Muhammad and seek forgiveness, and that the Muhammad[clarification needed] must also seek forgiveness on their behalf. This is expressed in several Qur'anic verses, including the following:
We sent not a Messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to their souls, come unto you [Muhammad] and asked God’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful. - Quran 4:64
