Repentance
وَٱلَّذِينَ جَآءُو مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَٰنِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِى قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّۭا لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌ
waٱlladhin ja’u minۢ baedihim yaqulun Rabbanaa ighfir lanaa wali ikhwaaninaa alladheena sabaqoonaa bil eemaani walaa taj‘al fee quloobinaa ghillan lilladheena aamanoo Rabbanaa innaka ra’oofur-raheem.
