Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them. They encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth. Their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
