Book (59: 22-24) “He is Allah besides Whom there is no god; the Knower of the unseen and the
seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful. He is Allah, besides Whom there is no god; the King,
the Holy, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian over all, the Mighty, the Supreme,
the Possessor of every greatness Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him). He is Allah
the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His are the most excellent names; whatever is in the
heavens and the earth declares His glory; and He is the Mighty, the Wise”.
