| Dr Kamal Omar Allah! La-ilaha-illa-Huwa, Ever-Alive, Eternal. Slumber does not overpower Him, and nor sleep. To Him owes existence whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedes with Him except under His permission? He knows whatever is in their two hands and whatever is behind them.

And He is the Most High, the Supreme |

He knows everything that lies ahead of them and everything that is behind them. They shall never know anything about Him except what He wills. His chair _ (His authority and influence, His domain and command) _ extends over the heavens and the earth. Preserving and protecting them does not tire (or burden) Him (in the least). He is the most High, the Greatest |
| Edward Henry Palmer God, there is no god but He, the living, the self-subsistent. Slumber takes Him not, nor sleep. His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth.

And they cannot comprehend anything of His knowledge save whatever He Himself pleases to reveal. His Kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth and the guarding of these does not weary Him. He alone is the Supreme and the Exalted |
