Ayat al-Kursi (The Throne Verse)
Allah (SWT), there is no god but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what lies before them and what is behind them, and they grasp nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Most Great.
