Whomsoever Thou causeth to enter the (Hell) fire surely thou hast put him to disgrace; there is not, for the unjust, any of the helpers. O Our Lord! We Have indeed heard the voice of a Crier (Messenger) calling (us) unto faith, saying, “Believe ye in your Lord!” Therefore “Forgive us then our sins and remove away from us our evil deeds and cause us to die with the virtuous ones”. O Our Lord! And give us what Thou didst promise us through Thy prophet, and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection; Verily, Thou breakest not Thy Promise”.[1]

Translation:

Alif Laam Mim. This is the Book, there is no doubt in it, (being the word of God) (it is) a guidance for the pious. (Ones). Who believe in the unseen, and establish the prayers and of what We have provided them with. They give (in the way of their Lord). And who believe in that which hath been sent down unto thee (O Our Prophet Mohammad) and that which hath been sent down (unto the other Prophets) before thee, and of the hereafter they are sure.[1]

Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases. His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great. There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light; and (as to) those who disbelieve, their guardians are Shaitans who take them out of the light into the darkness; they are the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide.[2]

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah’s; and whether you manifest what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will call you to account according to it; then He will forgive whom He pleases and chastise whom He pleases, and Allah has power over all things. The apostle believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His apostles; We make no difference between any of His apostles; and they say: We hear and obey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the eventual course. Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has wrought: Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.[3]
