“In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Allah! There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Supporter of all. No slumber can seize him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there that can intercede in His presence except as He permits? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them, for He is of the Most High, the Supreme in glory.” (Qur’an, 2:255)
