I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, from every sin I committed knowingly or unknowingly, secretly or openly, and I turn towards Him from the sin that I know and from the sin that I do not know.

"O Allah! I seek protection in You, that I do not join any partner with You knowingly. I need Your forgiveness from that which I do not know. I repent from its ignorance. I free myself from disbelief and from joining partners with You and from lies and from all sins. I submit to your will, and I believe and declare; There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) is the Messenger of Allah."
