Is the supplication: "I strived to commit sins discreetly, so You, my Lord, strived to conceal me" unlawful?

Among Allah Almighty's favors upon the Muslim is the vastness of supplication from the Quran, the Sunnah, and the supplications of theaf, so there is no need to invent supplications with wordings that have Sharia-related reservations, as most of them originate from those who are not people of knowledge. An example of this is a widespread supplication that clearly contains affectation and a phrase that is utterly heinous, which is the saying: "Strive to conceal her" addressed to the Lord of the Worlds. Its error lies in two aspects:

1. The verbal resemblance between the striving of the disobedient servant and the striving of the Forgiving Lord. This entails a diminishing of the Lord's majesty. 2. Attributing "striving" (ijthihad) to Allah Almighty, which is a word that denotes expending effort and energy. This is impossible concerning Allah Almighty, who informed about Himself that He created the heavens and the earth and everything in between them, and no weariness touched Him. This negation of weariness indicates the perfection of His power.

Therefore, it is not permissible to say "strive" (ijthihad) concerning Allah Almighty; rather, it is forbidden. It is obligatory for the Muslim to abandon supplication with this phrase and to beware of spreading it, and for websites to remove it.
