His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except of that which He wills. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Wahuwa l-‘aliy-yu l-‘aẓīm(u) Meaning Ģ55 Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Walā yuḥītūna bish y’i m-min ‘ilmihī ’il-lā bimā shā’(a) Man dha l-ladhī yashfa‘u ‘indahū ’il-lā bi’idhnih(ī) ²⁵⁴ Lā tākhudhuhū sinatun w-walā nawm(un) Walā yuḥītūna bishy’i m-min ‘ilmihī ’il-lā bimā shā’(a) Man dha l-ladhī yashfa‘u ‘indahū ’illā bi’idhnih(ī)
