The middle panel: Verse number 255 named Al-Korsi from Surat Al-Baqarah "Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except as he permitted. He knows what appeared to His creatures as before or after or behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He will. His throne doth extend over the heavens And on earth, and He feels No fatigue in guarding and preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)." The last panel on the left side: Surah Al-Kadr number 97 We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the night of power is?
