ever sustaining(the One Who sustains and protects all that exists ) . Neither does somnolence affect Him nor
sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth: and who can
intercede with Him except by His leave? Known to Him is all that is present
before men and what is hidden (in time past and time future), and not even a
little of His knowledge can they grasp except what He will. His seat extends
