اللَّهُمَّ ألِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا، وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ، وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا، وَأَبْصَارِنَا، وَقُلُوبِنَا، وَأَزْوَاجِنَا، وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا، وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ. وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ، مُثْنِينَ بِهَا، وَقَابِلِيهَا، وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا.
O Allah, unite our hearts, and mend the discord between us. Guide us to the paths of peace, and deliver us from darkness into light. Keep us away from all shameful deeds, both apparent and hidden. Bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, and our offspring. Accept our repentance, for indeed, You are the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful. And make us grateful for Your blessings, praising them, accepting them, and perfect them upon us.
