• Sound (Transliteration):
  Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum, la ta’khuthuhu sinatun wa la nawm, lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard, man thal-lathi yashfa’u ‘indahu illa bi-ithnih, ya’lamu ma bayna aydeehim wa ma khalfahum, wa la yuheetoona bishey’im-min ‘ilmihi illa bima sha’a, wasi’a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard, wa la ya’ooduhu hifthuhuma, wa Huwal-‘Aliyyul-‘Atheem.
• Meaning:

  Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
