O Lord, if my sins have grown great in number, I have come to know that Your pardon is greater still; if only the righteous may hope in You, then to whom shall the sinner turn for refuge and protection? I call upon You, my Lord, as one who is humble and pleading, and if You were to turn my hands away, who else would show me mercy? I have no means of approach to You other than hope, and the beauty of Your pardon, and the fact that I am a Muslim.
