Seeking Help Through Allah's Mercy Morning and Evening

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْثُ ، أَصْلِحْ لِيْ شَأْنِيْ كُلَّهُ ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِيْ إِلَىٰ نَفْسِيْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ.

O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, I seek help through Your mercy. Set right all my affairs for me, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.

Yā ḥayyu yā qayyūmu, bi-raḥmatika astaghīthu, aṣliḥ lī shaʾnī kullahu, wa-lā takilnī ilā nafsī ṭarfata ʿayn

Steadfastness, Right Guidance, and a Sound Heart

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ ، وَالْعَزِيْمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مُوْجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ ، وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيْمًا ، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ

O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in the matter and resolve upon right guidance. I ask You for what makes Your mercy certain and for the firm means of Your forgiveness. I ask You for gratitude for Your favour and excellence in worshipping You. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for some of the good that You know, I seek refuge in You from the evil that You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for what You know. Truly, You are the Knower of the unseen.

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-th-thabāta fi-l-amri wa-l-ʿazīmata ʿalā-r-rushdi, wa-asʾaluka mūjibāti raḥmatika wa-ʿazāʾima maghfiratika, wa-asʾaluka shukra niʿmatika wa-ḥusna ʿibādatika, wa-asʾaluka qalban salīman wa-lisānan ṣādiqan, wa-asʾaluka min khayri mā taʿlamu, wa-aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā taʿlamu, wa-astaghfiruka limā taʿlamu, innaka anta ʿallāmu-l-ghuyūb.

Asking for All Good and Refuge from All Evil

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَاذَ مِنْهُ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ كُلَّ قَضَاءٍ قَضَيْتَهُ لِيْ خَيْرًا

O Allah, I ask You for all good, what comes soon and what comes later, what I know of it and what I do not know. I seek refuge in You from all evil, what comes soon and what comes later, what I know of it and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the best of what Your servant and Your Prophet asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of what Your servant and Your Prophet sought refuge from. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and whatever brings one closer to it, in word or deed, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and whatever brings one closer to it, in word or deed. And I ask You to make every decree You have decreed for me good.

Istikhāra Prayer for Seeking What Is Best

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْتَخِيْرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيْمِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ . اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هٰذَا الْأَمْرَ (ويسمّي حاجته) خَيْرٌ لِّيْ فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَمَعَاشِيْ وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِيْ ، فَاقْدُرْهُ لِيْ وَيَسِّرْهُ لِيْ ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْهِ ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هٰذَا الْأَمْرَ (ويسمّي حاجته) شَرٌّ لِّيْ فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَمَعَاشِيْ وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِيْ ، فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّيْ وَاصْرِفْنِيْ عَنْهُ ، وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِيْ بِهِ

O Allah, I seek Your choice through Your knowledge, I ask You to give me ability through Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. for You are able and I am not; You know and I do not; and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter (here he names his need) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and the outcome of my affair, then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and then bless me in it. And if You know that this matter (here he names his need) is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood and the outcome of my affair, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree what is good for me wherever it may be, and then make me content with it.

Allāhumma innī astakhīruka bi-ʿilmika, wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, wa asʾaluka min faḍlika-l-ʿaẓīm, fa-innaka taqdiru wa lā aqdir, wa taʿlamu wa lā aʿlam, wa anta ʿallāmu-l-ghuyūb. Allāhumma in kunta taʿlamu anna hādha-l-amra (wa yusammī ḥājatahu) khayrun lī fī dīnī wa maʿāshī wa ʿāqibati amrī, fa-qdurhu lī wa yassirhu lī thumma bārik lī fīh, wa in kunta taʿlamu anna hādha-l-amra (wa yusammī ḥājatahu) sharrun lī fī dīnī wa maʿāshī wa ʿāqibati amrī, fa-ṣrifhu ʿannī wa-ṣrifnī ʿanhu, wa-qdur liya-l-khayra ḥaythu kāna thumma arḍinī bih.
