Du'a

This translation has been copied from the Holy Du’a book published by ITREB Canada and the Holy Du’a book published by ITREB UK. While both are largely the same, there are some instances where the UK book takes a more literal translation, these instances have been noted in parentheses. I’ve also added phonetic symbols and Qur’anic citations to the transliteration to aid in pronunciation, these are not consistent with the published books.
