Ayat-ul-Kursi: Sentence of the Thrown Pedestal Sign

Sentence of the Throne In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Independent; neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him; 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 Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not, and He is the Highest, the Most Magnificent.
