You have said, my God,in the firm text of Your Book,that You accept repentance from Your servants,pardon evil deeds,and love the repenters,so accept my repentanceas You have promised,pardon my evil deedsas You have guaranteed,and make obligatory towards me Your loveas You have stipulated!To You, my Lord, belongsmy stipulationthat I will not returnto what is disliked by You,my guaranteethat I will not go backto what You blame,and my covenantthat I will stay awayfrom acts of disobedience to You.Ya Allah, You know better what I have done,so forgive me what You knowand turn me through Your power to what You love!Ya Allah,counted against me areclaims that stay in my memoryand claims that I have forgotten,while all of them remain inThy eye that does not sleepand Your knowledge that does not forget!So compensate their owners,lighten their load upon me,lift up their weight from me,and preserve me from approaching their like!Ya Allah,but I cannot be faithful to my repentancewithout Your preservation,nor can I refrain from offenseswithout Your strength.So strengthen me with a sufficient strengthand attend to me with a defending preservation!Ya Allah,if any servant repents to You,while in Your knowledge of the Unseen hewill break his repentanceand return to his sin and offense,I seek refuge in You from being like that!So make this my repentancea repentanceafter which I will need no repentanceand a repentancewhich will obligate the erasing of what has gone byand safety in what remains!Ya Allah,I ask pardon from You for my ignorance,and I ask You to disregard my evil acts!So join me to the shelter of Your mercythrough graciousnessand cover me with the covering of Your well-beingthrough bounteousness! ................
