Am yaqūlūna ftarāh, bal huwa l-ḥaqqu min rabbika li-tundhira qawman mā atāhum min nadhīrin min qablika la’allahum yahtadūn.

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

Thumma sawwāhu wa nafakha fīhi min rūḥihi wa ja’ala lakumu s-sam’a wa l-abṣāra wa l-af’idah, qalīlan mā tashkurūn.
