اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ، وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا تَعْلَمُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ.
O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and determination in righteousness. I ask You for the ability to be grateful for Your blessings and to worship You well. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all that You know, and I ask You for the good of all that You know. I seek Your forgiveness for all that You know. Indeed, You are the Knower of all unseen.
