Dua after Isha Salat
O Allah! surely, I have no knowledge of the main source of my subsistence
and I seek it only through the passing thoughts that come to me,
And I wander in cities searching for it,
perplexed in regard to what I search for.
I do not know whether it is in a valley or in a mountain,
in the earth or in the heavens, in land or sea
And wonder in whose hands it is, and from whom it is
But surely I know that You have its Knowledge, and its sources are in Thy hand,
and You distribute it by Thy Kindness, and create opportunities through Thy Mercy
Oh Allah, bless Muhammad and his Progeny;
And Oh Lord! Increase my sustenance that is apportioned by Thee, and make my quest for it easy and the source near;
And make me not strive in the search of what You have not decreed for me;
For, surely You are in no need to chastise me
and I am in need of Thy Mercy
Bless Muhammad and his Progeny
And by Thy Grace show generosity to Thy servant,
surely You are the most Generous
