O Allah, I request you for goodness by your knowledge and power. I ask for your strength for blessing. You know the unseen. O Allah, I don’t know a thing, but you know very well whether the matter is good or bad for me. O Allah, I have nothing, but you have power, and you know better than this matter is proper and not for me, my religion, and my living hood. If it is better, then make it easy and destiny for me.
