secretly or openly; I also seek His forgiveness for sins which I know or
do not know; O' Allaah! Undoubtedly, You are the best Knower of all

O' Allaah! I seek refuge with You to save myself
from associating any partner with You, which I
know; and I beg Your forgiveness for sins which I
do not know; I solemnly repent and disdainfully
cast off infidelity, polytheism, lie, back-biting,
(bad innovations), sneaking (tale-bearing), all
shameful deeds and slanders and every sort of
disobedience and I sincerely embraced Islaam
and declare from the core of my heart that there
is none worthy of worship but Allaah alone;
(Hazrat) Muhammad is the (choicest) Messenger
of Allaah.
