Is this form of supplication correct: "Praise be to Allah as befits the Majesty of Your Countenance and the Greatness of Your Authority.. by the number of all numbers You know, O Allah, in every moment and second of the existence of the Malakut (spiritual realm), for every blessing You have bestowed upon me and upon every believer from the nations of 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah), in every time and place, and of every kind, from the beginning of creation until the Day of Judgment"? And is it permissible to supplicate for the guidance of all humankind?

There is no impediment to praising Allah with the formulation: "All praise is due to Allah, always and forever." However, the prophetic formulation is better: "Exalted is Allah and praised be He, by the number of His creation, by His Own Pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the ink of His words," due to its profound expression of abundance that cannot be enumerated.
