O Allah, I seek Your guidance through Your knowledge, and I seek Your capability through Your power, and I ask You from Your great bounty. For surely You have power and I do not, and You know and I do not, and You know the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair, then decree it for me, facilitate it for me, and bless me in it. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it may be, then make me pleased with it.
