O God,
You have tried us with
distrust in our provisions
and the expectation of long lives,
until we begged for provisions
from those who are provided
and craved in our expectations
the life-spans of the long-lived!
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
give us a true certainty
that will suffice us the burden of seeking,
and inspire us with a sincere trust
that will release us from the hardship of exertion!
Let Your clear promise in Your Revelation
which You have followed in Your Book with Your oath
cut off our worry
about the provision for which
You have made Yourself responsible
and sever our occupation
with everything
whose sufficiency You have guaranteed!
For You have said –
and Your word is the most truthful truth –
and You have sworn –
and Your oath is the most kept and fulfilled –
In the heaven are your provision
and everything you are promised!
And then You have said,
So by the Lord of heaven and earth,
it is as surely true as that you have speech!
