Invocation for visiting the graves
The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
((السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ، مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لاَحِقُونَ، [وَيَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَقدِمِينَ مِنَّا وَالْمُسْتأْخِرِينَ] أَسْاَلُ اللَّهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ)).
As-salamu 'alaykum ahlad-diyar, minal-mu'mineena wal-muslimeen, wa inna in sha'allahu bikum lahiqoon, (wayarhamullahul-mustaqdimeena minna wal-musta'khireen) asalullaha lana walakumul-'afiyah.
(Peace be upon you all, O inhabitants of the graves, amongst the believers and the Muslims. Verily we will, Allah willing, be united with you, we ask Allah for well-being for us and you.)
