The supplication is a statement of sufficiency rather than a request. It declares that Allah is enough for the one saying it, that none has the right to be worshipped except Him, and that reliance is placed upon Him. The declaration of tawhid sits in the middle, between the statement of sufficiency and the statement of reliance. It closes by naming Him Lord of the exalted throne, so the One described as sufficient is identified by His sovereignty.
