Translation of dua
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's
Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Salaam,
I would llike the below dua written in English so that it is in Arabic when
read.
Narrated
Hadrat Umar ibn Al-Khattab (r.a.) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saws)
say: None of you makes wudu and completes the wudu, then says: I bear witness
that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone, He has no
partners; and I bear witness that Mohamed is His slave-servant and His
Messenger, except that all eight Gates of Paradise are opened for him, so he
may enter by whichever he pleases.
Related by Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhee, An Nisaae, and Ibn Maajah.

Answer:
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your
Question: I would llike the below dua written in English so that it is in
Arabic when read.
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone,
He has no partners; and I bear witness that Mohamed is His slave-servant and
His Messenger
The transliteration
of the above supplication in Arabic would be:
Ash-hado
ann Laa ilaaha illalaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, wa ash-hado anna Mohammadan
abduhu wa Rasulohu.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and
whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
