Kalimah Radd Kufr
Allaahumma inniy a’oodhu bika min an ushrika bika shay-an wa ana a’alamu bihi wa astaghfiruka lima laa a’alamu

aqoolu laa ilaaha illallaahu Muhammadur rasoolullah

forgiveness for the sin from which I am not aware of, I repent it and I declare myself free from infidelity,
polytheism (associating any partner with Allah), telling lies and all other sins. I accept Islam and believe
and declare that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is
the messenger of Allah.
