O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power from Your might
اللّهُمّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ
allaahumma innee astakheeruka bi 'ilmika wa astaqdiruka biqudratika
And I ask You from Your tremendous favor
وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ
wa as'aluka min fadhlikal-'adheem
Verily, You have power and I do not have power
فَإِنّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ
fa'innaka taqdiru wa laa aqdiru
And You know and I do not know and You are the knowi�ng of the unseen
وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلّامُ الْغُيُوبِ
wa ta'lamu wa laa a'lamu wa anta a'l-laamul-ghuyoob
O Allah if You know that this matter is good for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs
اللّهُمّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي allaahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna haadhal-amra khayrun lee fee deenee wa ma'aashee wa 'aaqibati amree
Then decree it for me and make it easy for me and bless me in it
فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ
faqdurhu lee wa yassirhu lee thumma baarik lee feehi
But if You know that this matter is evil for my religion, livelihood and my affairs
وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي
wa 'in kunta ta'lamu 'anna haadhal-amra sharrun lee fee deenee wa ma'aashee wa 'aaqibati amree
Then divert it from me and keep me away from it and decree what is good for me and then make me content with it
فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
fasrifhu 'annee wasrifnee 'anhu waqdur liyal-khayra haythu kaana thumma ardhinee bihi
[THEN MENTION YOUR NEED]
Bukhari 1166
