Dua Text

رَضِينَا بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا وَنَبِيًّا، وَبِالْقُرْآنِ إِمَامًا وَبِالْكَعْبَةِ قِبْلَةً وَبِالصَّلَاةِ فَرِيضَةً وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِخْوَانًا، وَبِأَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَعُمَرَ الْفَارُوقِ وَعُثْمَانَ ذِي النُّورَيْنِ وَعَلِيٍّ الْمُرْتَضٰى أَئِمَّةً، رِضْوَانُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ، وَبِحَلَالِ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰى حَلَالًا وَبِحَرَامِ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰى حَرَامًا، وَبِالْجَنَّةِ ثَوَابًا وَبِالنَّارِ عِقَابًا، وَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَالنَّارَ حَقٌّ وَالصِّرَاطَ حَقٌّ وَالْحِسَابَ حَقٌّ وَسُؤَالَ مُنْكَرٍ وَنَكِيرٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ حَقٌّ، وَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ مَخْلُوقَتَانِ لِأَهْلِهِمَا، فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ، وَأَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

Meaning

We are pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, with Muhammad ﷺ as Messenger and Prophet, with the Quran as guide, with the Kaaba as qibla, with the prayer as obligation, with the believers as brothers; and with Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Umar al-Faruq, Uthman Dhun-Nurayn and Ali al-Murtada as leaders (may Allah the Exalted be pleased with them all). We hold lawful what Allah the Exalted has made lawful and forbidden what He has made forbidden; we accept Paradise as reward and Hell as punishment. Paradise is true, Hell is true, the Sirat bridge is true, the reckoning is true, and the questioning by Munkar and Nakir in the grave is true. Paradise and Hell have been created for their people; one group will be in Paradise and one group in the blazing fire. And Allah will raise those who are in the graves.
