{Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence; neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.}

Translation

{The Messenger believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and the believers: all believed in Allah, His angels, His books and His messengers; we make no distinction between any of His messengers. And they said: We heard and obeyed; forgive us, our Lord, and to You is the return. Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity: it has what it earned, and against it what it committed. Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or err. Our Lord, do not lay upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we cannot bear; pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us: You are our protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.}
