O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and the resolve to follow righteousness. I ask You to enable me to be grateful for Your blessings and to worship You in the best manner. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for the good You know, and I seek refuge in You from the evil You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for what You know. Indeed, You are the Knower of all unseen matters.
Allahumma inni as'alukath-thabata fil amri, wal 'azeemata 'alar-rushdi, wa as'aluka shukra ni'matik, wa husna 'ibadatik, wa as'aluka qalban saleeman, wa lisaanan saadiqan, wa as'aluka min khairi ma ta'lamu, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma ta'lamu, wa astaghfiruka lima ta'lamu, innaka anta 'allamul ghuyoob.
