Question:
What is the ruling on this supplication: “O Allah, there is no Lord in existence but You, so we call upon You”?
Answer:
It is not reported; this has not been transmitted. We supplicate with what has been transmitted, and as far as I know, “there is no Lord in existence but You” has not been transmitted. It is true that there is no Lord in existence but Him, but supplication is based on what is prescribed; because it is an act of worship, we do not supplicate except with what has been transmitted from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), what has been transmitted in the Qur'an or in the Sunnah. Yes.
