    Meaning
    I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. 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 help us against the disbelieving people.”

    Meaning
    Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people of understanding. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, You did not create this in vain. Glory be to You; so protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Our Lord, whoever You admit into the Fire, You have truly disgraced him, and the wrongdoers have no helpers. Our Lord, we heard a caller calling to faith: ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our sins, erase from us our misdeeds, and take our souls in death with the righteous. Our Lord, give us what You promised us through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You never break the promise.” Then their Lord answered them: “I will not let the work of any worker among you go to waste, whether male or female; you are one from another. So those who emigrated, were driven out of their homes, were harmed in My cause, and fought and were killed, I will surely erase their misdeeds and surely admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. And with Allah is the best reward.” Do not let the free movement of those who disbelieve through the lands deceive you. It is a little enjoyment; then their refuge is Hell, and wretched is that resting place. But those who were mindful of their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, there to stay forever, a welcome from Allah. And what is with Allah is better for the righteous. And indeed, among the People of the Book are some who believe in Allah, in what was sent down to you and in what was sent down to them, humbling themselves before Allah; they do not sell the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in reckoning. O you who believe, be patient, outdo others in patience, stand firm at your post, and be mindful of Allah, so that you may succeed.

  • Seeking Forgiveness by Allah's Oneness

    اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ بِأَنَّكَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ، الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ، أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

    Transliteration
    Allāhumma innī asʾaluka yā Allāhu bi-annaka-l-Wāḥidu-l-Aḥadu-ṣ-Ṣamad, alladhī lam yalid wa lam yūlad wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan aḥad, an taghfira lī dhunūbī, innaka anta-l-Ghafūru-r-Raḥīm
    Meaning
    O Allah, I ask You, O Allah, by the fact that You are the One, the Unique, the Eternal Refuge, who has not begotten and was not begotten, and there is none comparable to Him, to forgive me my sins; indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful.
