اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي، وَاذْكُرْ بِهِدَايَتِكَ سَنَدِي، وَاذْكُرْ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ رَشَدِي، وَاغْلِبْ لِي بِالْحَقِّ، يَا خَيْرَ النَّاصِرِينَ.
O Allah, guide me and set me on the right path. With Your guidance, remember my support. With Your success, remember my right direction. Grant me victory through truth, O best of those who help.
Allahumma ihdini wa saddidni, wadhkur bi hidayatika sanadi, wadhkur bi tawfeeqika rashadi, waghlib li bil-haqq, ya khayran nasirin.
