Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، وَخَيْرُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ)).
Khayrud-du'a'i du'a'u yawmi 'arafah, wakhayru ma qultu ana wan-nabiyyoona min qablee: la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamdu wahuwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer
(The best of supplications is the supplication on the day of ʿArafah and the best which I and the Prophets before me have said (is): (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all praise and sovereignty and He is over all things omnipotent.))
