Dua Text

سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ، بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ، اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِزْنِى مَا وَعَدْتَنِى، اَللَّهُمَّ آتِ مَا وَعَدْتَنِى، إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا، لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ، وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَيَهْدِيَكَ صِرَاطًا مُسْتَقِيمًا، وَيَنْصُرَكَ اللَّهُ نَصْرًا عَزِيزًا، نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ، وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Sayuhzamul-jam’u wa yuwallunad-dubur, balis-sa’atu maw’iduhum was-sa’atu adha wa amarr. Allahumma anjizni ma wa’adtani, Allahumma ati ma wa’adtani. Inna fatahna laka fathan mubina, liyaghfira lakallahu ma taqaddama min dhanbika wa ma ta’akhkhara wa yutimma ni’matahu ‘alayka wa yahdiyaka siratan mustaqima, wa yansurakallahu nasran ‘aziza. Nasrun minallahi wa fathun qarib, wa bashshiril-mu’minin.

Meaning

Soon that host will be routed, and they will turn their backs and flee. No, the Hour of Judgement is their real appointed time, and the Hour is more calamitous and more bitter. O Allah, fulfil for me what You promised me. O Allah, grant me what You promised me. Indeed, We have granted you a clear victory, so that Allah may forgive you your past and future sins, complete His favour upon you, guide you to a straight path and help you with a mighty victory.
