Is it permissible to add to the opening supplication (Du'a al-Istiftah) by saying: "Glorified are You, O Allah, and with Your praise; blessed is Your Name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no god besides You," and then follow it with "Allah is Most Great, Most Great, and praise be to Allah in abundance; and glorified be Allah in the morning and in the evening," and then with "There is no god but Allah"?

Adding to the prescribed opening supplication (Du'a al-Istiftah) is permissible, provided one does not believe it to be Sunnah or consistently adhere to it. However, it is better to limit oneself to the authentic supplication.
