You can use the library pyArabic like this:

import pyarabic.araby as araby

before_filter="اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لنَا ولوالدِينَا"
after_filter = araby.strip_diacritics(before_filter)

print(after_filter)
# will print : اللهم اغفر لنا ولوالدينا

You can try different stip filters:

araby.strip_harakat(before_filter)  # 'اللّهمّ اغفر لنا ولوالدينا'
araby.strip_lastharaka(before_filter)  # 'اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لنَا ولوالدِينَا'
araby.strip_shadda(before_filter)  # 'اللَهمَ اغْفِرْ لنَا ولوالدِينَا'
araby.strip_small(before_filter)  # 'اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لنَا ولوالدِينَا'
araby.strip_tashkeel(before_filter)  # 'اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لنَا ولوالدِينَا'
araby.strip_tatweel(before_filter)  # 'اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لنَا ولوالدِينَا'
