Verse
of The Throne
God!
There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him.
Unto Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth.
Who is he that intercedes with Him save by His leave?
He knows that which is in front of them
and that which is behind them,
while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will.
His throne includes the heavens and the earth,
and He is never weary of preserving them.
He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
(From Chapter 2 Verse no 255)

Chapter 2: The Cow: 115. Unto God belong the East and the West, and whithersoever ye turn, there is God's Countenance. Lo! God is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. 116. And they say: God has taken unto Himself
a son. Be He glorified! Nay, but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His. All are subservient unto Him. 136. Say ye: 'We believe in God and the revelation given to us and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and it is unto Him that we surrender ourselves.' 186. When my servants question you about Me, tell them that I am near. I answer the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on Me. Therefore, they should respond to Me and put their trust in Me, so that they may be rightly guided. Chapter 3: The Family of Imran: 26. Say: O God, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest in Thine hand is the good; surety, Thou hast power over all things. 27. Thou causest the night to pass into the day, and Thou causest the day to pass into the night. And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead, and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou choosest, without stint.73. Grace is from the hand of God, and He gives it to whom he wishes. God is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. 160. If God is your helper none can overcome you, and if He withdraw His help from you, who is there who can help you after Him? In God let believers put their trust. Chaper 6: Livestock: 17. If God touch thee with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom but He, and if He touch thee with good fortune (there is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things. Chapter 9: Repentance: 116. Unto God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He giveth life and He taketh it. Except for Him ye have no protector nor helper. Chapter 24: Light: 35. God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! God guides whom He will to His Light: God sets forth Parables for men: and God knows all things. 36. (Lit is such a Light) in houses, which God has permitted to be raised to honour; for the celebration, in them, of His name: In them is He glorified in the mornings and in the evenings, (again and again). Chapter 28: The Stories: 88. And cry not unto any other god along with God. There is no god save Him. Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command, and unto Him ye will be brought back. Chapter 36: YA-SEEN: 82. But his command, when he wishes a thing, is only that He says to it "Be!", and it is. Glory be to the One in whose hand is dominion over everything, and to Him you shall return. Chapter 41: Explained in Detail: 53. Soon We shall show them Our signs on the horizons and in themselves until it is clear to them that He is the Truth. Is your Lord not sufficient? Truly He witnesses everything. Chapter 65: Divorce: 3. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in God, sufficient is (God) for him. For God will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has God appointed a due proportion. Chapter 112: Sincerity: 1. Say: He is God, the One and Only; 3. He begets not, nor is He begotten; 4. And there is none like unto Him.
