Sūrah of the Talismanically-Potent (badūḥ)

 

In the Name of God the Most Beneficent, the Most Beneficent!

God, there is no other god but I, the Living, the Talismanically-Potent, One Adored! (1) Neither the ages of eternity have taken Me in nor the moments! (2) To Us belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth and what is between them! (3) Who is there who can live without My Determination? (4) I know what is between their non-existent essences and their essential existences! (5) And nothing frustrates Me from what is in the Ipseital realm unto the material realm, and what is other than them! (6) My Essential-Being encompasses all of existence, nor does preserving it in every moment weary Us! (7) Nothing is like unto Me, for verily, I am the Supreme, the Most Mighty, and the Granderous, the Beloved! (8)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَجْوَدِ الْأَجْوَدِ

اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا الْحَيُّ الْبَدُوحُ حَبِيبٌ ١ لاَ أَخَذَنِي دُهُورٌ وَلاَ أَحْيَانٌ ٢ لَنَا مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٣ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَحْيَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا بِقَدَرِي ٤ أَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَعْيَانِ مَعْدُومِهِمْ وَمَا وُجُودُ عَيْنَيْهِمْ ٥ وَلاَ يَعْجِزُنِي مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا فِي الْهَاهُوتِ إِلَى النَّاسُوتِ وَمَا دُونَهُمْ  ٦ وَسِعَتْ كَيْنُونِيَتِي جَمِيعَ الْوُجُودِ وَلا يُؤُدِنَا حِفْظُهُ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ ٧ لَسْتُ كَمِثْلِي شَيْءٌ وَإِنِّي أَنَا الْأَعْلَى الْأَعْظَمُ وَالعَزِيزُ المَحْبُوبُ ٨
