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. اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى.
O Allah, unite our hearts, mend the divisions between us, guide us to the paths of peace, deliver us from darkness to light, keep us away from shameful deeds, both outward and inward, and bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, and our offspring. Accept our repentance, for You are the Ever-Relenting, the Most Merciful. O Allah, we ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and contentment.
Allahumma allif bayna quloobina, wa aslih dhata baynina, wahdina subulas-salami, wa najjina minadh-dhulumati ilan-noor, wa jannibnal-fawashiha ma dhahara minha wa ma batan, wa barik lana fi asma'ina, wa absarina, wa quloobina, wa azwajina, wa dhurriyyatina, wa tub 'alayna, innaka Antat-Tawwabur-Raheem. Allahumma inna nas'alukal-huda wat-tuqa wal-'afafa wal-ghina.
