Prayer for More Sustenance (2)

Another Prayer for More Sustenance -Baqeyatus salehat — Before you go to your shop (or place of work), you may go to the mosque to offer two or four units of prayer after which you may say the following supplication:

غَدَوْتُ بِحَوْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ

ghadawtu bihawli allahi wa quwwatihi

I begin this day by Allah’s might and power.

وَغَدَوْتُ بِلاَ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ

wa ghadawtu bila hawlin minni wa la quwwatin

I begin it by no might or power of mine;

وَلكِنْ بِحَوْلِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ يَا رَبِّ

wa lakin bihawlika wa quwwatika ya rabbi

rather, by Your might and power, O my Lord.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ

allahumma inni `abduka

O Allah, I am verily your servant.

أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي

altamisu min fadlika kama amartani

I am seeking Your favor, as You have ordered me to do.

فَيَسِّرْ لِي ذٰلِكَ وَأَنَا خَافِضٌ فِي عَافِيَتِكَ

fayassir li dhalika wa ana khafidun fi `afiyatika

So, (please) make it easy for me while I am enjoying wellbeing that You confer upon me.
