Summary
This supplication is not found in the authoritative hadith collections. Imam Abd al-Wahab al-Sya'rani stated that whoever recites it every Friday will die as a Muslim, a statement relayed by al-Dimyathi. Supplications in wording other than that of the Quran and hadith are permitted as long as the meaning is good and does not contradict religion, while observing the etiquette and conditions of supplication.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kita juga dibolehkan untuk berdoa dengan apa jua doa sekalipun, selagimana makna atau maksud doa tersebut adalah baik dan tidak bercanggah dengan agama.
