My Lord, You fill the heavens and the Earth and whatever is between them, and whatever You will after that. You are the Possessor of praise and majesty. The truest thing a slave has said (of You) is: 'We are all Your slaves.' O Allah, none can prevent what You have willed to bestow, and none can bestow what You have willed to prevent. No wealth or majesty can benefit anyone, as from You is all wealth and majesty.
