You are the Sovereign of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. All praise is due to You. You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. You are the Truth. Your promise is true. Meeting You is true. Your word is true. Paradise is true. Hellfire is true. The Prophets are true. And Muhammad, peace be upon him, is true. The Hour is true. O Allah, to You I submit. In You I believe. In You I trust. To You I turn. With You I compete. To You I judge. So forgive me for what I have done in the past and what I will do in the future, what I have concealed and what I have declared. You are the One who brings forward and the One who delays. There is no deity except You." Wa laa haula wa laa quwwata illaa billaah."

Meaning:

"O Allah, to You belongs all praise. You are the One who takes care of the heavens and the earth and all creatures in them. And to You belongs all praise, You are the King of the heavens and the earth and all creatures in them. And to You belongs all praise, You are the light of the heavens and the earth and all creatures in them.

And to You belongs all praise, You are the Most truthful, Your promises are true, meeting with You is true, Your words are true, paradise is true, hellfire is true, the prophets are true and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is true, and the Day of Judgment is true.

O Allah, only to You do I surrender, in You do I believe, on You do I rely, only to You do I turn (repent), to You do I complain. And to You I seek judgment, so forgive my past and future sins, what I have hidden and what I have done openly, and what You know better than me. You are the One who comes first and the One who comes last, there is no god but You, and there is no power (to avoid sins) and no strength (to perform worship) except with the help of Allah."
