O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your male servant and the son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand; Your command over me is certain and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that belongs to You—whether You named Yourself with it, revealed it in Your Book, taught it to one of Your creation, or kept it with You in the knowledge of the unseen—to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness and the departure of my worry.

O Allah, I seek the best choice through Your knowledge, seek ability through Your power, and ask You from Your immense favour. You are able and I am not; You know and I do not; You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know this matter to be good for my faith, my livelihood and the outcome of my affair—now and later—then decree it for me, make it easy for me and bless it for me. If You know it to be harmful for my faith, my livelihood and the outcome of my affair—now and later—then turn it away from me and turn me away from it. Decree good for me wherever it may be, then make me content with it.

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Glory be to the One who placed this at our service, though we could not have controlled it ourselves; surely to our Lord we shall return. O Allah, we ask You on this journey for righteousness, mindfulness of You, and deeds that please You. Make this journey easy for us and shorten its distance. You are the companion on the journey and the guardian of the family left behind. I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, distressing sights, and returning to misfortune in wealth or family.
