Allahumma in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-l-amra khayrun li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa ‘aqibati amri, faqdirhu li wa yassirhu li thumma barik li fihi. Wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-l-amra sharrun li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa ‘aqibati amri, fasrifhu ‘anni wasrifni ‘anhu waqdir li al-khayr haithu kana thumma radini bihi.

Translation:

O Allah, I seek Your guidance [in making a choice] by Your knowledge, I seek ability by Your power, and I ask You for Your great bounty. You have power; I have none. And you know, I do not. You are the knower of hidden things. O Allah, if, in Your knowledge, this matter (mention your need) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affairs, then ordain it for me, make it easy, and bless me therein. And if, in Your knowledge, this matter is harmful to me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affairs, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and ordain for me the good wherever it may be, and make me pleased with it.
