“There is no deity worthy of…” (Hisn al-Muslim 27:93)

Hisn al-Muslim 27

((لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ)) (مائةَ مرَّةٍ إذا أصبحَ).

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.

IslamicInfo presents the source information available in its current verified database and does not issue religious rulings.

Context & meaning

The sentence contains no request anywhere in it; it consists entirely of statements made about Allah. Four of them are set out in order — that no deity is worthy of worship except Him, that He is alone with no partner, that dominion and praise both belong to Him, and that He is competent over all things. The one reciting asks for nothing and says nothing about his own circumstances.

When & how to recite

Kept to the morning and the evening by its chapter. The Arabic text marks it to be said one hundred times in the morning.

Reflection

Nowhere does the wording use the first person. There is no I and no my anywhere in it, so the one saying it never appears in his own supplication — only the One being described.
