لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
La ilaha illallahul-'Adhimul-Halim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adhim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbus-samawati wa Rabbul-ardi wa Rabbul-'Arshil-Karim
There is no deity except Allah, the Most Great, the Most Forbearing. There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne.
The du'a of karb (extreme distress). Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that the Prophet ﷺ would say this during times of severe difficulty. Three declarations of tawhid, each paired with divine attributes: Al-'Adhim Al-Halim (Great yet Forbearing — He has power but is patient), Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adhim (Lord of the Throne — supreme authority), and the cosmic scope (heavens, earth, Throne). In crisis, you remind yourself exactly who is in charge.
