اللّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿۲۵۵﴾ هيچ معبودي نيست جز خداوند يگانه زنده، كه قائم به ذات خويش است، و موجودات ديگر، قائم به او هستند، هيچگاه خواب سبك و سنگيني او را فرا نمي‏گيرد، (و لحظهاي از تدبير جهان هستي، غافل نمي‏ماند،) آنچه در آسمانها و آنچه در زمين است، از آن اوست، كيست كه در نزد او، جز به فرمان او شفاعت كند؟! (بنابراين، شفاعت شفاعت كنندگان، براي آنها كه شايسته شفاعت اند، از مالكيت مطلقه او نميكاهد). آنچه را در پيش روي آنها ( بندگان) و پشت سرشان است مي‏داند، (و گذشته و آينده، در پيشگاه علم او، يكسان است). و كسي از علم او آگاه نمي‏گردد، جز به مقداري كه او بخواهد. (اوست كه به همه چيز آگاه است، و علم و دانش محدود ديگران، پرتوي از علم بيپايان و نامحدود اوست). تخت (حكومت) او، آسمانها و زمين را در بر گرفته، و نگاهداري آن دو ( آسمان و زمين)، او را خسته نمي‏كند. بلندي مقام و عظمت، مخصوص اوست.
