Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

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.
