O Allah, I ask You, O He to whom there is no comparable,

and O He who is not in the high heavens nor in the lower earths,

وَ لَا فَوْقَهُنَّ وَ لَا تَحْتَهُنَّ وَ لَا بَيْنَهُنَّ

 

nor above them, nor below them, nor between them,

إِلَهٌ يُعْبَدُ غَيْرُكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ

 

there is no deity worshipped other than You alone, no partner to You.
