The Dua

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Rabbana-ghfir lana wa li-ikhwaninalladhina sabaquna bil-imani wa la taj'al fi qulubina ghillan lilladhina amanu, Rabbana innaka Ra'ufur-Rahim.

Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts any resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.

— Surah Al-Hashr, 59:10
