Dua Al-Istikharah

الَّلهُمَّ إنِّي أسْتَخْيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَ أسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَ أسْألُكَ مِنْ فضْلِكَ الْعَظيِمِ، فَإنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلا أقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلا أعْلَمُ، وَأنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ. الّلَهُمَّ إنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلمُ أنَّ [هذَا الْأمْرَ] خَيْرٌ لي فِي دِينيِ و مَعَاشِي وَ عَاقِبَةِ أمْرِي أوْ قَالَ عَجِل أمْرِى وَآجِلِهِ فاقْدُرْهُ لى وَيَسِّرْهُ لِى ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لى فِيهِ؛ وَإنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلمُ أنَّ [هذَا الأمْرَ] شَرٌّ لى فى دِينِى وَمَعَاشِى وِعَاقِبَةِ أمْرِى، أوْ قَاَلَ فِى عَاجِلِ اْمْرى وَآجِلِهِ، فَاصرِفْنىِ عَنْهُ، وَقْدُرْ لِى الْخيْرَ حَيْثُ كانَ ثُمّ ارْضِنِى بِهِ.

O Allah, I seek Your guidance [in making a choice] by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power, I have none. And You know, I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (then it should be mentioned by name) is good for me both in this world and in the Hereafter (or: in my religion, my livelihood and my affairs), then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge it is bad for me and for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs (or: for me both in this world and the next), then turn me away from it, [and turn it away from me], and ordain for me the good wherever it may be and make me pleased with it.
