A question from one of our readers:
I’m working on my thesis, but I’m not making any progress. I’m working very hard, yet things keep happening that get in the way. Please advise me on how I can finish my thesis. Thank you.

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

To move your thesis forward and overcome obstacles, it is recommended that you recite Supplications 1, 2, and 3 from *al-Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya* with full presence of heart, along with the supplication “لا حول و لا قوه إلا بالله” and the Supplication of Light. With God’s help, this may bring you the result you hope for.

They should recite the first, second and third supplications of the *Ṣaḥīfa Sajjādiyya* with full presence of heart, then add this supplication to them. God willing, they will attain what they seek.

لا حول و لا قوه إلا بالله اللهم اجعل لی نورا فی قلبی و نورا فی سمعی و نورا فی بصری و نورا فی لسانی و نورا فی شعری و نورا فی بشری و نورا فی لحمی و نورا فی دمی و نورا فی عظامی و نورا فی عصبی و نورا من بین یدی و نورا من خلفی و نورا عن یمینی و نورا عن یساری و نورا من فوقی و نورا من تحتی «1» اللهم عظم لی نورا و نعمه و سرورا
