The answer

It is permissible to change the masculine form to the feminine or the plural to the singular when supplicating, if the intention is to supplicate and not to recite, so that it aligns with the supplicant's situation. However, regarding the supplication after the Athan, the word "al-Atheem" (the Great) has not been mentioned in any of its narrations. Therefore, one should restrict oneself to the wordings found in the authentic Sunnah.
