اللَّهُ
لَا
إِلَهَ
إِلَّا
هُوَ
الْحَيُّ
الْقَيُّومُ
لَا
تَأْخُذُهُ
سِنَةٌ
وَلَا
نَوْمٌ
لَّهُ
مَا
فِي
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَمَا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
مَن
ذَا
الَّذِي
يَشْفَعُ
عِندَهُ
إِلَّا
بِإِذْنِهِ
يَعْلَمُ
مَا
بَيْنَ
أَيْدِيهِمْ
وَمَا
خَلْفَهُمْ
وَلَا
يُحِيطُونَ
بِشَيْءٍ
مِّنْ
عِلْمِهِ
إِلَّا
بِمَا
شَاءَ
وَسِعَ
كُرْسِيُّهُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضَ
وَلَا
يَئُودُهُ
حِفْظُهُمَا
وَهُوَ
الْعَلِيُّ
الْعَظِيمُ

God exists. There is no God but He, the Everlasting and the Guardian of life. Drowsiness or sleep do not seize him. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. No one can intercede with Him for others except by His permission. He knows about people's present and past. No one can grasp anything from His knowledge besides what He has permitted them to grasp. The heavens and the earth are under His dominion. He does not experience fatigue in preserving them both. He is the Highest and the Greatest.
