Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
(( أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ دِينَكَ، وَأَمَانَتَكَ، وَخَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِكَ)).
Astawdi'ullaha deenak, wa amanatak, wakhawateema 'amalik.
(I place your religion, your faithfulness and the ends of your deeds in the trust of Allah.)
once((زَوَّدَكَ اللَّهُ التَّقْوَى، وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ، وَيَسَّرَ لَكَ الخَيْرَ حَيْثُ ما كُنْتَ)).
Zawwadakallahut-taqwa, waghafara dhanbak, wayassara lakal-khayra haythu ma kunt.
