Dua Text

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۞ اَللّٰهُمَّ احْفَظِ الْحُفَّاظَ الْكِرَامَ عَنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَايَا، وَارْحَمْ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ بِحُرْمَتِهِمْ فِي الْبِحَارِ وَالْبَرَايَا، اَللّٰهُمَّ احْشُرْنَا مَعَ حَمَلَةِ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ الْبَرَرَةِ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ، لَا سِيَّمَا يَوْمَ تُنَادِي نَبِيَّنَا يَا رَاكِبَ الْبُرَاقِ، اِشْفَعْ لَنَا يَوْمَ الْفِرَاقِ، اَللّٰهُمَّ كَمَا جَعَلْتَ حَمَلَةَ الْقُرْآنِ حَمَلَةَ رَايَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَاجْعَلْهُمْ لَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ دَلِيلًا إِلٰى دَارِ السَّلَامِ، اَللّٰهُمَّ تَوِّجْ أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ الْمُجَوِّدِينَ بِمَحَاسِنِ التِّيجَانِ، وَجَمِّلْ أَذْكَارَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَيْنَ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجَانِّ، اَللّٰهُمَّ أَصْعِدِ الْحُفَّاظَ الْكِرَامَ عَلٰى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي الْمَحْشَرِ أَيْنَ حَمَلَةُ الْقُرْآنِ، وَارْكَبْهُمْ عَلٰى نُورِ الْجِنَانِ مَعَ الْحُورِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ وَالْغِلْمَانِ، وَشَفِّعْهُمْ إِلٰى دَارِ السَّلَامِ يَوْمَ يُنَادِي عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ أَيْنَ حَمَلَةُ الْقُرْآنِ، وَصَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ، وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Meaning

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, protect the noble huffaz from all kinds of afflictions. For their sake, have mercy on the Ummah of Muhammad, on sea and on land. O Allah, on the day we meet You, unite us with the huffaz who have memorized the Quran and resurrect us with them; especially at the time when our Prophet is called with the words “O Prophet who rode the Buraq.” Intercede for us on the day of separation. O Allah, just as You have caused the Quran to be memorized, preserve the valor of Islam as well. Make the huffaz our guide and forerunners on the Day of Judgment, and make them forerunners in Paradise, the Abode of Peace. O Allah, crown those who recite the Quran with tajwid, and beautify their remembrance before humans and jinn on the Day of Judgment. O Allah, on the Day of Judgment, when it is called out, “Where are the huffaz of the Word?”, raise the huffaz on that day onto their minbars of light and make them happy in every way. Mount them upon the lights of Paradise together with the houris, the wildan and the ghilman (the youths of Paradise). On the day when it is called out on the bridge of Sirat in the Abode of Peace, “Where are those who memorized the Quran?”, grant them the ability to intercede. May Allah’s mercy and compassion be upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and companions. May Allah’s peace be upon all His prophets. Praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
