“There is no deity worthy of…” (Hisn al-Muslim 27:92)

Hisn al-Muslim 27

((لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ)) (عشرَ مرَّات) ، أَوْ (مرَّةً واحدةً عندَ الكَسَلِ).

la ilaha illa allah wahdahu la sharika lah. lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent.

Context & meaning

The supplication opens by denying that any deity is worthy of worship except Allah, then reinforces that denial twice over — alone, and without partner. Nothing at all is affirmed until that denial has been completed. What follows assigns two things to Him inside a single clause: dominion and praise, named together rather than separately. The closing statement widens from ownership to capability, declaring Him competent over all things.

When & how to recite

Twice a day — at morning, then at evening. The Arabic text marks it to be said ten times, or once if tired.

Reflection

Dominion and praise are paired deliberately — one is what He possesses, the other what is owed for it. The final clause then moves from what He owns to what He is able to do.
