“There is no deity except Allah and no one is worthy of worship except Allah, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence,
neither drowsiness comes to him nor sleep,
whatever is in the skies is of him and whatever is on the land,
who is the one who can do commendation of someone without His (Allah) willingness,
He knows whatever is in front of them and whatever is behind them,
and they cannot encompass a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills,
His Kursi extends in the skies (heavens) and on the land,
The protection of skies and land doesn’t make Him tired,
And He is the plush dignity”

اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ
لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ
أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاءَ
وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاواتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
