SHAKIR: so know that there is no god but Allah, and, ask protection for your fault and for the believing men and the believing women; and Allah knows the place of your returning and the place of your abiding

PICKTHAL: so know (o Muhammad) that there is no Allah save Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy sin and for believing men and believing women. Allah knoweth (both) your place of turmoil and your place of rest.

Therefore, know O Muhammad that there is no God save Allah there is none that harms or benefits, gives or withholds, raises or abases except Allah; and it is also said that this means: and know there is nothing that has the merit of "there is no deity save Allah".  In short, adhere, O Muhammad, to knowledge of this fact that will benefit you at the Resurrection.

And ask forgiveness for your sin O Muhammad, this was said to him, despite his infallibility, so that his community might emulate him [in this respect]. Indeed he did do this. The Prophet  Muhammad said, 'Verily I do ask Allah for forgiveness a hundred times every day'.

And ask forgiveness O Muhammad, for the sins of the believing men and believing women; herein is an honoring for them, by having their Prophet enjoined to ask forgiveness for them.

And Allah knows your going to and fro, your bustle during the day in pursuit of your business, and your place of rest, when you retire to where you sleep at night. In other words, He has knowledge of all your states, nothing of which can be hidden from Him, so be mindful of Him.

Allah knows your goings and comings as well as your works in the life of the world and your place of rest and also He knows your destination and abode in the Hereafter.
