Meaning

“O Allah, I seek Your protection from knowingly associating anything with You, and I ask Your forgiveness for what I do without knowing. I repent from it and free myself from disbelief, shirk, lying, backbiting, wrong innovation, spreading tales, indecency, slander and every sin. I submit, and I say: there is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
