Translation of AayatAl-Kursi

255. Allah! None is worthy of worship but He, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting,

The One Who sustains and protects (the entire universe with His strategy).

He is seized by neither slumber nor sleep. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth belongs to Him alone.

Who can dare intercede with Him except by His permission? (He) knows all that is (happening or has happened) before the Creation, and all that is (about to happen) after them; and they cannot encompass anything of His knowledge except that which He wills.

His Throne (of Empire and Power and Authority) encompasses the heavens and the earth, and the protection of both (the earth and the heavens) does not pose Him any difficulty. And He alone is Most High, Most Great.
