Our Lord, take us not to task if we forget or err. Our Lord, lay not on us a burden like that which You laid on those before us. Our Lord, burden us not with more than we can bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Allah is greatest — Mightier than all His creation, Mightier than what I fear and dread. I seek refuge in Allah, whom there is none worthy of worship but Him, the One who holds the seven heavens from falling upon the earth except by His command — from the evil of Your servant [so-and-so], his soldiers, his followers, and his supporters. O Allah, be my protector against their evil.

اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ، سَرِيعَ الْحِسَابِ، اهْزِمِ الْأَحْزَابَ، اللَّهُمَّ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَزَلْزِلْهُمْ

O Allah, guide us among those You have guided, grant us well-being among those You have granted well-being, take us into Your care among those You care for, bless us in what You have given, and protect us from the evil of what You have decreed. For You decree and none decrees against You; none is abased whom You befriend, and none is honoured whom You oppose. Blessed and Exalted are You, our Lord.
