Closing Verses of Sūrat al-Baqara

أَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ. اٰمَنَ الرَّسُوْلُ بِمَآ أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ، كُلٌّ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَلآئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ، لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْ رُّسُلِهِ ، وَقَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ. لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ، لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ، رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِنْ نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ، أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكٰـفِرِيْنَ.

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. The Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His angels, His books and His messengers: “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say: “We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final return.” Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. It has what it has earned, and against it is what it has incurred. Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not lay on us a heavy burden as You laid on those before us. Our Lord, do not make us carry what we have no strength for. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.
