ﷺ: قولوا: اللهمَ لَــكَ الـحَمْدُ وإليكَ الـمُشتكَى وأنتَ الـمُسْتَعَان O Allah, to You is all praise and to You is our complaint, and You are the source of help

When we thank people we use the word الشُكْر, such as شُكرًا or أَشْكُرُكَ, but for Allah we use the word الحَمْد, such as in Surah Fatiha الـحَمْدُ للهِ
