It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.

And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."
