Āmın. 1In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy! 2Praise belongs to God, Lord of the Worlds, 3the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy, 4Master of the Day of Judgment. 5It is You we worship; it is You we ask for help. 6Guide us to the straight path: 7the path of those You have blessed, those who incur no anger and who have not gone astray. Āyat al‐KursīĀyat al‐KursīĀyat al‐KursīĀyat al‐Kursī (Verse of the Throne(Verse of the Throne(Verse of the Throne(Verse of the Throne, 2:255, 2:255, 2:255, 2:255)))) Allāhu lā ilāha illā hū al‐ḥayy al‐qayyūm, lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa lā nawm, lahu mā fi al‐samāwāti wa mā fil‐arḍ, man dhal-ladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi idhnih, yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā khalfahum, wa lā yūḥīṭūna bi shayyʾin min ʿilmihi illā bimā shāʾ, wasiʿa kursīyyuhu al‐samāwāti wal‐arḍ, wa lā yaʾūduhu ḥifẓuhumā wa hūwa al‐ʿalī ul‐ʿaẓīm. 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. Last Two VersLast Two VersLast Two VersLast Two Verses of Ses of Ses of Ses of Sūrat al‐Baqaraūrat al‐Baqaraūrat al‐Baqaraūrat al‐Baqara (2:285(2:285(2:285(2:285----286)286)286)286) 285Āman al‐rasūlu bimā unzila ilayhi min rabbihi wal‐muʾminūn, kullun āmana billāhi wa malāʾikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulih, lā nufarriqu bayna aḥadin min rusulih, wa qālū samaʿnā wa aṭaʿnā ghufrānaka rabbanā wa ilayka al‐maṣīr. 286Lā yukallif ullāhu nafsan illā wusʿahā, lahā mā kasabat wa ʿalayhā mak tasabat, rabbanā lā tuʾākhidhnā in nasīnā aw akhṭaʾnā, rabbanā wa lā taḥmil ʿalaynā iṣran kamā ḥamaltahu ʿalā alladhīna min qablinā, rabbanā wa la tuḥammilnā ma lāā ṭāqata lanā bih, waʿfu ʿannā waghfir lanāā warḥamnāā, anta mawlānā fanṣurnā ʿalā al‐qawm il‐kāfirīn. [Āmīn] 285The 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!’—286God 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.’
