HIS Throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and HE is never weary of Preserving them. HE is the Sublime, the Tremendous.

The Messenger believeth in that which hath been Revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) the believers. Each one believeth in ALLAAH and HIS Angels and HIS Scriptures and HIS Messengers. WE make no distinction amongst any of HIS Messengers and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy Forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. ALLAAH Tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as Thou Didst Lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! And Pardon us, And Absolve us and have Mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and Give us Victory over the disbelieving folk.
