astaghfirullah

Astaghfirullah literally translates to "I seek forgiveness in Allah". In a religious way, people can recite it during meditation or say it to others to show humility- to say that Allah is greater or that goodness comes from Allah. In popular culture, people can say this if they see something wrong or shameful (context applies).

Example 1:
Person- Hatija, your lecture was truly insightful!
Hatija- Astaghfirullah, Allah gives us the knowledge.

Example 2:
A group of religious people watching a movie together when a sex scene comes on
-"Astaghfirullah" in congregation.
