COD ! TIIEUE IS NO CJOD BUT HE, THE LIVING, THE SELF-SUBSISTING; 



NEITHER SLUMBEIl NOR SLEEP SEIZETH HIM ; 



TO HIM BELONGETH WHATSOEVER IS IN HEAVEN OK ON EARTH. 



WHO IS HE THAT CAN INTERCEDE WITH HIM, HUT THROUGH KIS GOOD PLEASURE ? 



HE KNOWETH THAT WHICH IS PAST AND THAT WHICH IS TO COME UNTO THEM, 



AND THEY SHALL NOT COMPREHEND ANY THING OF HIS KNOWLEDGE, BUT SO FA K AS HE I'LEASETH. 



MIS THRONE IS THE EXTENDED HEAVENS AND EARTH : 



AND THE PRESERVATION OF BOTH IS NO BURTHEN UNTO HIM. 



HE IS THE HIGH, THE MIGHTY* 



THIS IS THE GUAVE OF FATIMA.

PRAISE BE TO GOD, 



AND MAY HIS iiLESSING BE UPON MUHAMMAD AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
