Is it permissible for a Muslim to say, "O Lord, do not move the mountain, grant me the strength to climb it," in addition to the remembrances (adhkar) mentioned in the Sunnah?
It is preferable for a Muslim to supplicate with comprehensive prayers that encompass the good of this world and the hereafter, especially those authentically narrated in the Quran and Sunnah, and to avoid newly invented or elaborate supplications. This is based on Aisha's statement: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) preferred comprehensive supplications and abandoned others." It is condemned to take foreign films as a source for receiving supplications. The mentioned supplication contradicts the glorification of Allah and humility towards Him in prayer, and thus should be avoided.
