  • Prayer for Forgiveness, Ease and Victory

    رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِنْ نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ، أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِينَ.

    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.
