But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad], say, "Sufficient for me is Allāh; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne."

— Saheeh International

If they turn away, [Prophet], say ,‘God is enough for me: there is no god but Him; I put my trust in Him; He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

But if they turn away, say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Allâh is sufficient for me. Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne."

What is Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa about?

The final verse of Surah At-Tawbah was addressed to the Prophet ﷺ: if people turn away, say "Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but Him. In Him I have put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne." It comes right after a verse describing the Prophet’s concern and mercy for his community, and it gives the response to rejection: reliance on Allah rather than despair. The verse joins three ideas in one line, sufficiency, tawhid and trust, and ends with the Throne, the greatest of creation, as a reminder of the greatness of the One relied upon.

When is it recited?

  • Seven times in the morning and evening, in a narration from Abu ad-Darda.(Sunan Abi Dawud 5081, its chain is discussed by scholars; many treat it as a statement of the Companion)
