وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِى كِتَٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ
And there is no animal in the earth but on Allah is the sustenance of it, and He knows its resting place and its depository all (things) are in a manifest book.
وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهِۦ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
And if Allah should afflict you with harm, then there is none to remove it but He; and if He intends good to you there is none to repel His grace; He brings it to whom He pleases of His servants; and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
سَيَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْراً
Allah brings about ease after difficulty.
مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ
Only that which Allah will shall come to pass.
لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ
There is no power save in Allah.

Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector.
وَافَوِّضُ امْرِي إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ
And I entrust my affair to Allah.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِٱلْعِبَادِ

O Lord, surely I stand in need of whatever good You may send down to me.
رَبِّ لاَ تَذَرْنِي فَرْداً وَانْتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْوَارِثِينَ
O my Lord, leave me not alone; and You are the best of inheritors.
