بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Transliteration:
Allahu la ilaha illa huwa, al-Hayyul-Qayyum. La ta’khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fi as-samawati wa ma fi al-ard. Man dha allathee yashfa‘u ‘indahu illa bi-idhnih. Ya‘lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum, wa la yuhituna bi-shay’in min ‘ilmihi illa bima sha’. Wasi‘a kursiyyuhu as-samawati wa al-ard, wa la ya’uduhu hifzuhuma, wa huwa al-‘Aliyyu al-‘Azim.
English Translation:
Allah is (worthy of worship); there is no one worthy of worship except Him. He is Alive on His own accord and the Preserver of (all) others. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overcomes Him, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth belongs to Him alone; who is the one who can intercede in His Domain without His permission? He knows whatever is in front of them and whatever is behind them; and they (i.e. people) do not attain from His knowledge except as much as He wills. The heavens and the earth are encompassed in His Throne and their protection is not a burden for Him. And only He is the Supreme, the Great.
