A supplication from Sūrah Āl ʿImrān expressing praise of Allāh’s absolute control over dominion, honour, provision, and all affairs.
اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَاءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَن تَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
O Allah, Owner of sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honour whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things capable.
You cause the night to enter the day and the day to enter the night. You bring the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living, and You provide for whom You will without measure.
Allāhumma mālika al-mulki tuʾtī al-mulka man tashāʾu wa tanziʿu al-mulka mimman tashāʾu wa tuʿizzu man tashāʾu wa tudhillu man tashāʾ, biyadika al-khayr, innaka ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.
Tūliju al-layla fī al-nahār wa tūliju al-nahāra fī al-layl, wa tukhriju al-ḥayya mina al-mayyit wa tukhriju al-mayyita mina al-ḥayy, wa tarzuqu man tashāʾu bighayri ḥisāb.
