فَلَسْنَا نَعْلَمُ كُنْهَ عَظَمَتِكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ: حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ، لاَ تَأْخُذُكَ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ، لَمْ يَنْتَهِ إِلَيْكَ نَظَرٌ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْكَ بَصَرٌ، أَدْرَكْتَ الاْبْصَارَ، وَأَحْصَيْتَ الاْعْمَالَ، وَأَخَذْتَ ﴿بِالنَّوَاصِي وَالْأَقْدَامِ﴾،
We do not know the reality of Thy greatness except that we know that Thou art Ever-living and Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist. Drowsiness or sleep do not overtake Thee, vision does not reach Thee and sight does not grasp Thee. Thou seest the eyes and countest the ages. Thou holdest (people as slaves) by foreheads and feet.
