O God,
I ask from Thee the best in
Thy knowledge,
so bless Muhammad and his
Household
and
decree for me the best! |
| 2 |
Inspire
us with knowledge to chose the best
and make that a means to
being
pleased with what Thou hast decreed for us
and
submitting to what Thou hast decided!
Banish from us the doubt of
misgiving
and
confirm us with the certainty of the sincere! |
| 3 |
Visit
us not with incapacity
to
know what Thou hast chosen, lest we
despise
Thy measuring out,
dislike
the place of Thy good pleasure,
and
incline toward that which is
further
from good outcome
and
nearer to the opposite of well-being! |
| 4 |
Make
us love what we dislike
in
Thy decree
and
make easy for us what we find difficult
in
Thy decision! |
| 5 |
Inspire
us to yield
to
that which Thou bringest upon us by Thy will,
lest
we
love
the delay of what Thou hast hastened
and
the hastening of what Thou hast delayed,
dislike
what Thou lovest,
and
choose what Thou dislikest! |
| 6 |
Seal
us with that which is most praised in outcome
and
most generous in issue!
Surely Thou givest generous
gain,
bestowest
the immense,
dost
what Thou wilt,
and
Thou art powerful over everything.142
