49 Verse of
50 the Throne
51 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
52 God. There is no God but Him, the Living, the Eternal 
53 Neither slumber nor sleep seize Him. To him belongs all that is in the heavens. Who is there 
54 who intercedes with him, save by his permission? He knows what is before them
55 and what is after them, while they encompass none of His knowledge apart from that which He wishes. His throne
56 extends over the heavens and the earth, and He is no tired by guarding them. He is the Exalted
57 and the Mighty. (*) There is no compulsion in religion. The right course has become distinguished from error. Those
58 who reject idols and believe in god have grasped the firmest handle
59 which will never be broken.
60 God is Hearing and Knowing.
