In
the name of Allah gracious and merciful!
Allah -- there is no god besides him, alive, real;
neither drowsiness nor sleep can seize Him, He owns everything
in the Heavens and on the Earth.
Who will plead, except with His permission?
He knows what was before them and what will be after
them, while they perceive nothing from His knowledge other
than He wishes. His
throne embraces the heavens and the earth, and He is not
burdened by guarding them.
Indeed Great and High is He.
