O Allāh! I seek good from You out of Your knowledge and seek power from You out of Your power, and beg of You out of Your boundless Grace, for You have power and I have no power and You have knowledge and I have no knowledge, and You have the best Knower of all unseen. O Allāh! If it be within Your knowledge that this project is for my good in the matter of spiritual affairs, and my worldly affairs, and in respect of my ultimate end, then make it possible for me and grant me facility concerning it: and bless it for me, but if it be within Your knowledge that this project is harmful in my spiritual and worldly affairs, and in respect of my ultimate end, then cause it to move away from me and cause me to move away from it, and designate for my good, wherever it may be, and then make me pleased with it.
