Al-Muqaddim / Al-Muakhkhir

The Expediter / The Delayer

Dua

Ya Muqaddim, Ya Muakhhir, when you bring me forward, make me worth of the moment. And when you hold me back, make me patient with the waiting. Advance me only when the step will please You and delay me only when the pause will protect me. Wherever I stand in Your decree, let me always feel content that I am never misplaced.
