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. 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

Transliteration
Amanar-rasulu bima unzila ilayhi min rabbihi wal-mu'minun, kullun amana billahi wa mala'ikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulih, la nufarriqu bayna ahadin min rusulih, wa qalu sami'na wa ata'na, ghufranaka rabbana wa ilaykal-masir. La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha, laha ma kasabat wa alayha maktasabat, rabbana la tu'akhidhna in nasina aw akhta'na, rabbana wa la tahmil alayna isran kama hamaltahu alalladhina min qablina, rabbana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih, wa'fu anna waghfir lana warhamna, anta mawlana fansurna alal-qawmil-kafirin.
Meaning
The Messenger believed in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and so did the believers. All of them believed in Allah, His angels, His books and His messengers; they said, “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they said, “We hear and we obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return.” Allah does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. Whatever good a person earns is for them, and whatever evil they earn is against them. “Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not lay upon us a burden like the one You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we have no strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.”
