Allah, in though I seek refuge From holding anything as participant to you, knowingly; And beg thy pardon if I did it un-knowingly, I repent for it And I get rid of shirk- believing in participants with you And from disbelief and from all the sins. I bow to you (accept Islam) And believe in you-(Amantu Bika) And I say that there is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
