"Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi ilmika wa
astaqdiruka biqudratika wa asaluka min fadhlikal azeeme. Fa innaka taqdiru
wala aqdiru wa ta-lamu wala alamu wa anta allamulghuyoobe Allahumma in kunta
talamu anna hazel amra khairun le fee deene wa maashi wa aaqibati amri
faqdirhu lee wa yassirhu lee summa baarik lee feehi wa in kunta taalamu
anna haazal amra sharrul lee fee deeni wa maashi wa aaqibate amri fasrifhu
ann, wasrifni anhu waqdir leyal khaira haisu kaana summa ardhine behi."
(O Allah! I beg Thee the Good through Thy
knowledge and ability; through Thy power and beg (Thy favours) out of Thine
infinite bounty; for Thou hast power, I have none. Thou knowest, I know not
and Thou art the Great knower of things hidden. O Allah! If in Thy knowledge
this matter be good for my faith, for my livelihood and for the consequences
of my affairs. Then ordain it for me and bless me therein; but if in Thy
knowledge this matter be bad for my faith, for my livelihood and for the
consequences of my affairs, then turn me away from me and turn me away
therefrom and ordain for me the good wherever it be and cause me to be
pleased therewith.)
