How sound is supplicating with the wording: "O Allah, O All-Compeller, compel me with a compulsion that astonishes the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, a compulsion befitting Your greatness, Your power, and Your generosity"?

"Al-Jabbar" is one of Allah's Most Beautiful Names, and Allah has commanded His servants to call upon Him by His Most Beautiful Names. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah, forgive all my sins and transgressions. O Allah, uplift me, mend my affairs, and guide me to righteous deeds and good character, for none guides to their goodness nor averts their evil except You." Therefore, there is no impediment to supplicating with the phrase "O Jabbar, mend my affairs."
