NOTE Translation of the inscriptions from Ayat al-Kursi (verse 255 of Surah Al-Baqara), one of the most famous and protective verses: "Allah! There is no deity but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth. Who can intercede with Him without His permission? He knows their past and their future; they comprehend of His knowledge only what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation causes Him no hardship. He is the Most High, the Most Great. He is God.”
