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.
O Allah, unite our hearts, mend the matters between us, guide us to the paths of peace, deliver us from darkness to light, keep us away from shameful deeds, whether open or secret, and bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, and our offspring. Turn to us, for indeed You are the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.

Narrated Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'There is no believer who is struck by a trial in his body, property or child, and says: 'Praise be to Allah, by Whose favour His servants are perfected.' but he is granted the best of what is decreed for him.' Then he recited: 'O Allah, unite our hearts, and amend the relationship between us, and guide us to the ways of peace, and deliver us from darkness to light, and keep us away from shameful deeds, whether apparent or hidden, and bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our wives and our offspring, and turn to us, for Thou art the Accepter of Repentance, the Merciful.' He added: 'And we turn to Him.' (Sahih)
