لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ وَ حْدَہٗ وَحْدَہ

laa elaaha illal laaho wahdahu wahdahu wahdahu

There is no god but Allah, alone, alone, alone,

In the Kashkol of Shaykh Bahai: In the writing of my father, may he be blessed: Ataa was questioned about the meaning of the saying of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.): “The best dua is my dua and the dua of the prophets before me” and it is:

لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ لَہُ الْمُلْكُ

laa shareeka lahu lahul mulko

having no partners, His is the kingdom

وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ یُحْیِیْ وَ یُمِیْتُ

wa lahul hamdo yohyee wa yomeeto

and for Him is all praise, He gives life and death;

وَ ہُوَ حَیٌّ لَا یَمُوْتُ بِیَدِہِ الْخَیْر

wa howa hayyun laa yamooto be-yadehil khayroُ

He is living and will not die, by His hand is all good

وَ ہُوَعَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ.

wa howa a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer.

and He has power over all things.

Then he said: This is not a dua (as such), rather it is glorification and praise
