Have you ever faced a problem that felt like a mountain? Maybe it’s a health issue, a financial crisis, or a broken heart. We often look for worldly solutions, but Islam points us toward a “Divine Master Key.”
That key is the phrase: “Innallaha ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.” In this guide, we will explore why this short sentence is the ultimate weapon for a believer. We will look at its location in the Quran, its massive rewards in Hadith, and a step-by-step wazifa to change your life.
1. What is the Meaning? (Arabic, Urdu & English)
To unlock the power of any dhikr, you must first feel the weight of its meaning.
The Arabic Text:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Transliteration: In-nal-la-ha ‘a-la kul-li shay-in qa-deer
The Urdu Translation:
بیشک اللہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے
The English Meaning: “Truly, Allah is Powerful over everything.”
2. Where is it in the Quran?
This is not just a random phrase; it is a foundational Truth. It appears over 30 times in the Holy Quran. It usually appears at the end of a verse to remind us that no matter the situation mentioned, Allah has the final word.
- Surah Al-Baqarah (2:20): Highlighting His power over our sight and guidance.
- Surah Al-Imran (3:189): Confirming His ownership of the Heavens and Earth.
- Surah Fatir (35:1): Reminding us that He adds to creation as He wills.
3. The Authentic Reward: 100 Times Daily
Most people know this as a “wazifa,” but did you know there is a Sahih Hadith (authentic narration) about the specific expanded version of this dhikr?
According to Sahih Bukhari (3293) and Sahih Muslim (2691), the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said that whoever recites:
“La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer“ 100 times a day will receive:
- The reward of freeing 10 slaves.
- 100 Good Deeds written in their account.
- 100 Sins erased from their record.
- Protection from Shaytan for that entire day.
4. The “Mental Shift” Wazifa
Instead of just repeating words, use my “Focus & Flow” technique for your wazifa. This strategy ensures your heart is as active as your tongue.
How to perform it for your specific need:
- Step 1: Recite Durood Sharif 3 times.
- Step 2: Recite “Innallaha ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer” 100 times.
- Step 3 (The Strategy): Every 10 times you recite it, stop for 2 seconds. Think of your biggest problem. Tell yourself: “This problem is a ‘thing’ (shay’in), and Allah is ‘Qadeer’ (Powerful) over it.” * Step 4: Finish with Durood Sharif and make your Dua.
6. Personal Reflection: A Note from the Heart
I used to struggle with extreme anxiety about the future. I felt like a leaf in the wind. But when I started making this verse my “heartbeat,” everything changed.
I realized that if Allah is “Qadeer” over the galaxies, my small financial worries or personal fears are nothing to Him. This verse doesn’t just change your situation; it changes you. It turns a worried person into a warrior.
Spiritual Encouragement: Don’t wait for a crisis to recite this. Make it your daily oxygen. Let the world be heavy, as long as your heart knows that He is All-Powerful.
