God: there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the Ever Watchful.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens
and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with
Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is
behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge
except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the
earth; it does not weary Him to preserve them both. He is the Most
High, the Tremendous.

285
The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to Him from
his Lord, as do the faithful. They all believe in God, His angels, His
scriptures, and His messengers. ‘We make no distinction between any
of His messengers,’ they say, ‘We hear and obey. Grant us Your
forgiveness, our Lord. To You we all return!’—286
God does not burden
any soul with more than it can bear: each gains whatever good it has
done, and suffers its bad—‘Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or
make mistakes. Lord, do not burden us as You burdened those before
us. Lord, do not burden us with more than we have strength to bear.
Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so
help us against the disbelievers.’
