None can guide whom You have left astray, and none can mislead whom You have guided. None can give what You withhold, and none can withhold what You bestow. None can bring near what You have distanced and none can distance what You have brought near.
Rifā’ah az-Zuraqī (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: “When it was the day of (the battle of) Uhud and the polytheists retreated, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Arrange yourselves (in rows) so I can praise my Lord.’ So the Companions (radiy Allāhū ‘anhum) stood behind him in rows. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said [the above].” (Aḥmad 15066)
Praising Allah with his Names
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمٰواتِ وَرَبَّ الأرْضِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَىٰ ، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيْلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُوْنَكَ شَيْءٌ

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Splitter of the seed and the date stone, the One who revealed the Torah, the Bible and the Criterion (Qur’ān); I seek Your protection from the evil of every thing You hold by the forehead (i.e. fully control). You are the First and there is nothing before You. You are the Last and there is nothing after You. You are the Most High and there is nothing above You. You are the Most Near and there is nothing closer than You.

The Greatest Truth
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيءٍ بَعْدُ ، أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ وَالْمَجْدِ ، أَحَقُّ مَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ – وَكُلُّنَا لَكَ عَبْدٌ – لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

O Allah, Our Lord, to You Alone belongs all praise; praise which fills the heavens and the earth and which fills whatever You wish after that. You are Most worthy of praise and glory. The greatest truth the slave can utter is – and we are all Your slaves – there is none who can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold; and the wealth of the wealthy does not avail him from You.
Abu Sa’id Khuḍrī (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say [the above] after saying سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ (May Allah respond to the one who praises Him).” (Abū Dāwūd 847)

Aisha (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) narrates: “The people complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of a drought. So he ﷺ ordered for a pulpit and it was placed in his place of prayer. He then arranged a day for all the people to gather. Aisha says (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā): ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out when the disk of the sun appeared. He sat on the pulpit and praised Allah and then said: “You have complained regarding the drought of your gardens and lack of rain for some time. Verily, Allah has commanded you to ask Him and promised to answer your prayers, then he said [the above with the addition of] “Send down rain upon us, and make what you send effective and far-reaching until some time.” Then he ﷺ lifted his arms until we saw the whiteness under his armpit. He then turned his back towards the people and turned round his upper garment while his hands were raised. He then turned to the people and descended the pulpit. He performed two units of Salah. Allah then formed a cloud. There was a clap of thunder and a flash of lightening and it rained with the permission of Allah. He did not stay inside the Masjid until there were streams of water running. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw wetness on the peoples clothes, he smiled until his front teeth became visible. He then said: “I bear witness that Allah is over all things All-Powerful and I am the servant and Messenger of Allah.” (Ibn Ḥibbān 991)

He started reciting Al-Baqarah and he did not come to any verse that spoke of mercy but he paused and asked for mercy, and he did not come to any verse that spoke of punishment but he paused (and sought refuge with Allah from that). Then he bowed and he stayed bowing for as long as he had stood, and he said while bowing: [the above] Then he prostrated for as long as he had bowed, saying while prostrating: [the above]. Then he recited Al Imran, then another surah and another, doing that each time.” (Nasā’ī 1132)
Declare the Perfection of Allah
سُبُّوْحٌ ، قُدُّوْسٌ ، رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوْحِ
Subbūḥun, Quddūsun, Rabbul-malā’ikati wa-r-rūḥ.
The Supremely Perfect, the Most Pure, the Lord of the angels and the Spirit (Jibrīl).
Aishah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) narrates: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say [the above] in his ruku and sajdah.” (Muslim 487)
Praises Which Open the Doors of Paradise
اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيْرًا ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ كَثِيْرًا ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ بُكْرَةً وَّأَصِيْلًا
Allāhu akbaru kabīrā, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi kathīrā, wa subḥāna-llāhi bukrata-w-wa aṣīlā.
Allah is truly the Greatest. Praise be to Allah in abundance. Glory be to Allah in the morning and the evening.
Ibn ‘Umar (radiy Allāhū ‘anhumā) narrates: “While we performing salah with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), someone from among us said: [the above] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who uttered such and such a word? A person among the people said: It was me (who recited these words), Messenger of Allah. He ﷺ said: “It (its utterance) surprised me, for the doors of heaven were opened for It.” Ibn ‘Umar (radiy Allāhū ‘anhumā) said: “I have not abandoned them (these words) since I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying this.” (Muslim 601)
Praise Allah with His Oneness
لَا إِلٰهَ إلَّا اللهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ ، رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفَّارُ
Lā ilāha illa-llāhul-Wāḥid-ul-Qahhār, Rabbu-s-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā baynahum-al-Azīz-ul-Ghaffār.
There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, the One, the Supremely Powerful; Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in between them, the All-Mighty, the Most Forgiving.
Aisha narrates: “When the Messenger of Allah would turn in his sleep (at night), he would say [the above].” (Ibn Hibbān 5530)
A Comprehensive Praise
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ولَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ
Lā ilāha illa-llāh, waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in Qadīr, subḥāna-llāh, wal-ḥamdu li-llāh, wa lā ilāha illa-llāh, wallāhu akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi-l-ʿAliyyi-l-ʿAẓīm.
There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful. Allah is free from imperfection, and all praise is for Allah. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah and Allah is the Greatest. There is no power (in averting evil) or strength (in attaining good) except through Allah, the Most High, the Most Magnificent. (Ibn Mājah)
Ubadah b. Samit (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever wakes up in the night and says: [the above], then he supplicates رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي (O Lord, forgive me), he will be forgiven.’” Walid said: “Or he said: then if he supplicates, it will be answered then if he stood up and performed wudhu and then performed salah, his prayer would be accepted.”(Ibn Mājah 3878)
Praises Which Bring Ease
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيْمُ الْحَلِيْمُ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيْمِ

Lā ilāha illa-llāhu-l-Ḥalīmu-l-Karīm, Lā ilāha illa-llāhu-l-ʿAliyyi-l-ʿAẓīm, subḥāna-llāhi Rabbi-s-samāwāti-s-sabʿi wa Rabbi-l-ʿĀrshi-l-ʿAẓīm, alḥamdu-lillāhi Rabbi-l-ʿālamīn.

Allah is free from imperfection, Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. (Ahmad 92/1)
Praises Which Free You From the Hell-Fire
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أُشْهِدُكَ ، وَأُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وحَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ ، وَأُشْهِدُ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ ، لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُوْلُكَ

O Allah, I call upon You, Your angels, the bearers of Your Throne, and all those in the heavens and the earth to bear witness that surely You are Allah. There is no god but You Alone. You have no partner whatsoever, and I bear witness that Muammad ﷺ is Your slave and Your Messenger.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whosoever reads [the above] once, Allah frees a quarter of him from the Hell-fire. Whosever reads it twice, Allah frees two-thirds of him from the Hell-fire. And whosoever reads it thrice, Allah frees him completely from the Hell-fire.” (Hākim 1920)
Affirming Your Inability to Praise Allah Sufficiently
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ ، وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوْبَتِكَ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ ، لَا أُحْصِيْ ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ ، أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِكَ
Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bi-riḍāka min sakhatik, wa bi-muʿāfātika min ʿuqūbatik, wa aʿūdhu bika minka, lā uḥṣī thanā’an ʿalayk, Anta kamā athnayta ʿalā nafsik.
O Allah, I seek protection in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your forgiveness from Your punishment. I seek protection from You through You. I cannot enumerate Your praise. You are as You have praised Yourself.
Ali b. Abi Talib (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say [the above] at the end of his witr Salah.” (Abū Dāwūd 1427, Tirmidhi 3566, Ibn Majah 1179) In another narration, it is narrated from Aisha (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā): “I noticed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was missing from his bed one night, so I went looking for him, and my hand touched the soles of his feet while he was prostrating with his feet upright. He was saying: [the above without the word إِنِّيْ].” (Muslim 486)
Praise Allah for His Dominion
اَللّٰهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ ، تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ ، وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَاءُ ، وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ ، وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ ، بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ ، إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ. رَحْمٰنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيْمَهُمَا ، تُعْطِيْهِمَا مَنْ تَشَاءُ ، وَتَمْنَعُ مِنْهُمَا مَنْ تَشَاءُ ، اِرْحَمْنِيْ رَحْمَةً تُغْنِيْنِيْ بِهَا عَنْ رَّحْمَةِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ
Allāhumma Mālikal-mulk, tu’ti-l-mulka man tashā’, wa tanziʿu-l-mulka mim-man tashā’, wa tuʿizzu man tashā’, wa tudhillu man tashā’, bi-yadika-l-khayr, innaka ʿalā kulli shay’in Qadīr. Raḥmāna-d-dunyā wa-l-ākhirah wa Raḥīmahumā, tuʿṭīhimā man tashā’, wa tamnaʿu minhumā man tashā’, irḥamnī raḥmatan tughnīnī bihā ʿar-raḥmati man siwāk.
O Allah, Lord of the kingdom, You grant kingdom to whoever you will, and You take kingdom away from whoever You will. You honour whoever You will and You disgrace whoever You will. All good is in Your hands. You are All-Powerful over everything. (O) the Extremely Merciful and the Especially Merciful in this world and the hereafter; You give from them (this world and the hereafter) whomsoever You will and You withhold from them whomsoever You will. Have mercy on me which will leave me free of the mercy of those other than You.
Anas b. Malik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Mu’adh: “Shall I not teach you such a duʿā that if you had debt equal to Mount Uhud, Allah will pay it off for you. Say O Muadh: [the above].” (Tabarānī in Mu’jam al-Saghir 558)

Buraydah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a man saying [the above]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: “By the One in Whose Hand is my life, He has certainly asked Allah with His Greatest Name; when He is supplicated by it, He responds, and when asked, He gives.” (Tirmidhī 3475)

Anas ibn Malik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man was offering Salah. The man then said [the above]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: “He has certainly asked Allah with His Greatest Name; when He is supplicated by it, He responds, and when asked, He gives.” (Abū Dāwūd 1495)
