بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

allāhu lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa l-ḥayyu l-qayyūmu
lā taʾḫuḏuhu sinatun wa-lā nawmun
lahu mā fī s-samawāti wa-mā fī l-ʾarḍ
man ḏā llaḏī yašfaʿu ʿindahu ʾillā bi-ʾiḏnihi
yaʿlamu mā bayna ʾaydīhim wa-mā ḫalfahum
wa-lā yuḥīṭūna bi-šayʾin min ʿilmihi ʾillā bi-mā shaʾāʾa
wa-siʿa kursiyyuhu s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍ.
wa-lā yuʾūḏuhu ḥifẓuhuma
wa-huwa l-ʿaliyyu l-ʿaẓīmu

Allah! There is no deity but Him, the Alive, the Eternal.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him.
Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth.
Who could intercede in His presence without His permission?
He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them,
while they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills.
His throne includeth the heavens and the earth,
and He is never weary of preserving them.
He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
