Seeking Forgiveness
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ
On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear.
It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it
earns. (Pray): "Our Lord! condemn us not if we forget or fall
into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which Thou
didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! lay not on us a burden
greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins and
grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector;
help us against those who stand against faith." 340

The Apostle believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his
Lord as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in
Allah His angels His books and His Apostles "We make no
distinction (they say) between one and another of His Apostles."
And they say: "We hear and we obey; (We seek) Thy forgiveness Our
Lord and to Thee is the end of all journeys." 337

الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
(Namely) those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed believed:
forgive us then our sins and save us from the agony of the fire."
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي أَنْظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَنْ تَرَانِي وَلَٰكِنِ انْظُرْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَانِي ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
When Moses came to the place appointed by Us and his Lord
addressed him He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me that I
may look upon thee." Allah said: "by no means canst thou see Me
(direct); but look upon the mount; if it abide in its place then
shalt thou see Me." When his Lord manifested his glory on the
mount He made it as dust and Moses fell down in a swoon. When he
recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to thee I turn
in repentance and I am the first to believe." (Allah) said: "O
Moses! I have chosen thee above (other) men by the mission I
(have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take
then the (revelation) which I give thee and be of those who give
thanks." 1102 1103 1104
وَذَا النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
And remember Zun-nun when he departed in wrath: he imagined that
We had no power over him! But he cried through the depths of
darkness "There is no god but Thou: Glory to Thee: I was indeed
wrong!" 2744
So say: "O my Lord! grant thou forgiveness and mercy! for Thou
art the Best of those who show mercy!"
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
He prayed: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul! Do Thou
then forgive me!" So (Allah) forgave him: for He is the
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ
And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our
brethren who came before us into the Faith and leave not in our
hearts rancor (or sense of injury) against those who have
believed our Lord! Thou art indeed Full of Kindness Most
Merciful." 5384 5385
