The Official Short Istikhara Dua London (Save This Right Now)

Arabic (only 4 lines – copy & save):

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ خَيْرًا لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَيَسِّرْهُ لِي وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ
وَإِنْ كَانَ شَرًّا لِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ

Transliteration (for London youth): Allahumma in kana hadhal-amr khayran lee fee deeni wa ma’aashi wa ‘aqibati amri fayassirhu lee wa barik lee feehi Wa in kana sharran lee fasrifhu ‘annee wasrifni ‘anhu waqdur liyal-khayra haythu kana thumma ardini bihi

English (say this if you only know English): “O Allah, if this matter [say the exact matter] is good for my deen, my life and my akhirah, then make it easy and bless it for me. And if it is bad for me, then remove it from me and remove me from it, and give me whatever is good wherever it is, then make me happy with it.”
