Meaning

O Allah! I ask of You, for all praise belongs to You; there is no god but You; You are the One who bestows abundantly. O Most Compassionate, O Most Bountiful, O Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Owner of majesty and honour, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer of all! Send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and by Your mercy fulfil my need, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
