Asking by the Greatest Name of Allah (Ism-e-Azam) — الدعاء باسم الله الأعظم
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ، الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
Transliteration: Allahumma inni as’aluka bi-anni ashhadu annaka antallahu la ilaha illa ant, al-ahadus-samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad.
Meaning: “O Allah, I ask You, bearing witness that You are Allah — there is no god but You — the One, the Eternal Refuge, who neither begets nor is born, and there is none like Him.”
Hearing a man make this supplication, the Prophet ﷺ said: “By the One in whose Hand is my soul, he has asked Allah by His Greatest Name — which, when He is called by it, He answers, and when He is asked by it, He gives.”
