Our Lord, forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed our duty. Establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith.

Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the unjust wrongdoers there are no helpers.

My Lord, accept my repentance, remove my offense, respond to my supplication, establish my evidence, guide my heart, direct my tongue and eliminate resentment and hatred from my breast. O Allah, inspire me to sensible conduct and protect me from the evil of my soul.

O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so leave me not to myself for even the duration of the wink of an eye. And amend for me all of my affairs. There is no god but You.

O Allah! I seek refuge in Your approval and pleasure from Your anger; and in Your pardon from Your punishment. I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot adequately praise You; You are as You have praised Yourself.

O Allah! You created my soul and it is You who will take it; to You belongs its death and its life. O Allah, if You should keep it alive then safeguard it, and if You should cause it to die then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You for freedom from all evil. O Allah!
