Invocation for when something you dislike happens,
or for when you fail to achieve what you attempt to do
قَدَّرَ اللهُ وَما شـاءَ فَعَـلَ
144. Qadarullaahi wa maa shaa'afa'ala.
It is
the Decree of Allah and He does whatever He wills.
Reference:
"The strong believer
is better and more dear to Allah than the weak believer, and in each of
them there is good. Be vigilant for what is to your benefit and seek the
help of Allah and do not falter. But when you are striken by some
setback, do not say: 'If only I had done such and such,' rather say: 'It
is the Decree of Allah and He does whatever He wills.' For verily the
saying 'if (i.e. if only I had) begins the work of the Devil." Muslim
4/2052.
