Duas for Forgiveness

Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make mistakes. Do not place on us a burden like those before us. Do not burden us beyond what we can bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory.

“Our Lord, we have heard a caller to faith, saying, ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins, wipe out our misdeeds, and cause us to die with the righteous. Our Lord, grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Surely You never break Your promise.”
