Allah. There is no god but He, the living, the self-subsisting, eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep.
His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He
permits? He knows what is before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass any of His knowledge
except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding
and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme.

(ii) Surah 114

1. Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind, 2. The King of mankind, 3. The God of Mankind, 4. From the
mischief of the whisperer who withdraws, 5. Who whispers into the hearts of mankind, 6. Among jinns and
among mankind.
(iii)

(iii) Surah 6. 75-79

75. So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, so that he might have
certainty. 76. When the night covered him over, he saw a star: He said: ‘This is my Lord.’ But when it set, he said:
‘I do not love things that set.’ 77. When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: ‘This is my Lord.’ But when
the moon set, he said: ‘Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among those who go astray.’ 78. When he saw
the sun rising in splendour, he said: ‘This is my Lord; this is the greatest.’ But when the sun set, he said: ‘O my
people! I am indeed free from your giving partners to Allah.’ 79. ‘For me, I have set my face firmly and truly towards
Him who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah.’
