** Note 020:027. The singular word اَمۡرِ (umray) generically includes all one needs in his actions, activities, affairs, behaviors, chores, concerns, conducts, duties, engagements, issues, matters, mission, problems, pursuits, and tasks to be tackled. The word in this enormous prayer has unlimited scope. Anyone using with this prayer can easily extend it to cover all of his needs. Moses a.s had prayed to fill his need to manage people by being able to hear and understand him. The management of people in his time did include the hiring and firing like he did to his brother. The field of management today includes control, effective communication and problem solving. The field of medicine or science could need research, data gathering and making judgment calls. The field of Law may include much more than what is mentioned in the Note to verse 003:148. In short this word can embrace whatever one needs in any occupation, profession or vocation.
