Allahumma Malik al-mulk: O Allah (SWT), Owner of Sovereignty
O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honour whom You will and humble whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things competent. You cause the night to enter the day and the day to enter the night. You bring the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living, and You give provision to whom You will without measure.
Allah (SWT) commands the Prophet ﷺ to call on Him with these words, affirming that all power, honor and provision are in His hand alone. Use it in personal du'a whenever its meaning matches what you are asking Allah (SWT) for. There is no fixed count unless one is established by a cited source.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Quran 3:26-27. No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
