لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa syariika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'alaa kulli syai-in qadiir
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things.
When it's read
After finishing the prayer (after the salam), ideally before leaving the prayer spot.
For your little one
A few minutes of dhikr close the prayer in calm. For a child, start by counting three istighfar on the fingers — then grow it bit by bit. Reciting Ayat al-Kursi afterward is also encouraged.
