الله لا إله إلا هو الحي القيوم لا تأخذه سنة ولا نوم
له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض من ذا الذي يشفع عنده إلا
بإذنه يعلم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم ولا يحيطون بشئ من علمه
إلا بما شاء وسع كرسيه السماوات والأرض ولا يؤوده حفظهما
وهو العلي العظيم |
God: there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the
Ever Watchful. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him.
All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to
Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by
His leave? He knows what is before them and what is
behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His
knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over
the heavens and the earth; it does not weary Him to
preserve them both. He is the Most High, the
Tremendous. |
