بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ ۟بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۙاَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

The Beneficent, the Merciful.

مٰلِكِ یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ ۟ؕمٰلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ

Master of the Day of Judgment,

اِیَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَاِیَّاكَ نَسْتَعِیْنُ ۟ؕاِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَاِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِيْنُ

Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.

اِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِیْمَ ۟ۙاِھْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَـقِيْمَ

Show us the straight path,

صِرَاطَ الَّذِیْنَ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ ۙ۬ۦ— غَیْرِ الْمَغْضُوْبِ عَلَیْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّآلِّیْنَ ۟۠صِرَاطَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۙ غَيۡرِ الۡمَغۡضُوۡبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا الضَّآلِّيۡنَ

The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

Ayatul Kursi (2:255) · Muhammed William Pickthall

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚ— اَلْحَیُّ الْقَیُّوْمُ ۚ۬— لَا تَاْخُذُهٗ سِنَةٌ وَّلَا نَوْمٌ ؕ— لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ— مَنْ ذَا الَّذِیْ یَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهٗۤ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖ ؕ— یَعْلَمُ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۚ— وَلَا یُحِیْطُوْنَ بِشَیْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهٖۤ اِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ— وَسِعَ كُرْسِیُّهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ ۚ— وَلَا یَـُٔوْدُهٗ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ— وَهُوَ الْعَلِیُّ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الۡحَـىُّ الۡقَيُّوۡمُۚ  لَا تَاۡخُذُهٗ سِنَةٌ وَّلَا نَوۡمٌ‌ؕ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ‌ؕ مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يَشۡفَعُ عِنۡدَهٗۤ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِهٖ‌ؕ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ‌ۚ وَلَا يُحِيۡطُوۡنَ بِشَىۡءٍ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهٖۤ اِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ‌‌ۚ وَلَا يَــئُوۡدُهٗ حِفۡظُهُمَا ‌ۚ وَ هُوَ الۡعَلِىُّ الۡعَظِيۡمُ

Allah! There is no deity save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth 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 includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
