Our Lord, do not blame us if we forget
Duas from the Qur'an
Our Lord, do not blame us if we forget
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
Rabbana la tu'akhidhna in nasina aw akhta'na, Rabbana wa la tahmil 'alayna isran kama hamaltahu 'ala-lladhina min qablina, Rabbana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih, wa'fu 'anna waghfir lana warhamna, anta mawlana fansurna 'ala-l-qawmi-l-kafirin.
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we forget or err. Our Lord, lay not upon us a burden like that You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.
Plain text (no diacritics)
ربنا لا تؤاخذنا إن نسينا أو أخطأنا ربنا ولا تحمل علينا إصرا كما حملته على الذين من قبلنا ربنا ولا تحملنا ما لا طاقة لنا به واعف عنا واغفر لنا وارحمنا أنت مولانا فانصرنا على القوم الكافرين
When is it said?
This is a supplication from the Qur'an, and it has no appointed time — it may be said in any state. The most hopeful places for supplication are in prostration, at the end of the night, between the adhan and the iqamah, and after the obligatory prayers.
Where it comes in the litany
Dhikr number 4 of 27 in Duas from the Qur'an — read in the order they are said.
