اللَّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ 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 لِنِعَمِكَ، مُثْنِينَ بِهَا، وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا.
O Allah, unite our hearts, and reconcile the matters between us. Guide us to the paths of peace, deliver us from darkness to light. Keep us away from indecency, both apparent and hidden. Bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, and our offspring. Accept our repentance, for indeed You are the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful. And make us grateful for Your blessings, praising them, and complete them upon us.
