Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful. Allah! There is no God save Him,
the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor
sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever
is in the earth. Who is He that
intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth
that which is in front of them and that which is behind them
while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save
what He will. His Throne includeth the heavens
and the earth, and He is never weary
of preserving them. He is Sublime, the Tremendous
