I Pray for a Better Future

"O Allah! I seek goodness from Your Knowledge,
with Your Power (and Might) I seek strength,
and I ask from You Your Great Blessings,

because You have the Power
and I do not have the power.
You Know everything and I do not know,
and You have knowledge of the unseen.

Oh Allah! If in Your Knowledge this person and in this action is better for my religion and faith,
for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter
then make it destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka'] in it, for me.

O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this person and action is bad for me,
bad for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter
then turn it away from me and turn me away from it

and whatever is better for me,
ordain [destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with it."

May all I feel and do is Allah's guide towards that which is best (khayr).
Consign the matter to Allah and suspend my own inclinations,
may Allah make events unfold in the direction that is the best for my worldly and next-worldly affairs.
