The dua a revert should recite when accepting islam

Abu Malik Ashaja'i reported on the authority of his father that whenever a person embraced Islam, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) instructed him to recite

‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي 

" O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to the path of righteousness and provide me sustenance."

[Ref: Saheeh Muslim , 2697a] 

The callers to Islam should revive this sunnah and ensure that the revert recites this atleast in english
