اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ ﴿یہاں اپنا معاملہ کہیں﴾ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ

وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ ﴿معاملہ دوبارہ کہیں﴾ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ

Natural English Translation – Dua for Salat al Istikhara Manchester

“O Allah, I ask You for guidance through Your knowledge, and power through Your might, and I ask You from Your immense bounty, for You have power and I have none, You know and I do not know, and You know all hidden things.

O Allah, if You know that this matter [say your matter here] is good for my religion, my life and my final outcome, then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me.

And if You know that this matter [say your matter again] is bad for my religion, my life and my final outcome, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it may be, and make me satisfied with it.”
