Context & meaning

This is a declaration of contentment rather than a request, and it names three things in turn. Allah is accepted as Lord, Islam as religion, and Muhammad as Prophet. Each clause takes the same shape — a relationship stated as already settled — so the supplication reports a position held rather than asking for anything to be changed or granted.

When & how to recite

Its place in the chapter is the morning and the evening. The Arabic text marks it to be said three times.

Reflection

Nothing at all is asked for in these words. The supplication consists entirely of being pleased with what has already been given, which sets it apart from the requests surrounding it in the same chapter.
