Use Ganjul Arsh as a supplementary du‘a , not a replacement for Qur’anic invocations. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Is Dua Ganjul Arsh shirk (idolatry)? No, if recited with the belief that Allah alone answers prayers. The du‘a contains no worship of other beings. However, attributing fixed, guaranteed benefits without divine text is problematic. 2. Can I recite it from a mobile app? Yes. The intention and sincerity matter more than the medium. 3. Is there any authentic hadith about the “Treasure of the Throne”? There is a famous hadith : “The best treasure in the Throne is La ilaha illallah .” (Related by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban).
