The Throne Verse (Q2:255)

The Throne Verse has been the subject of much exegetical energy (see Ayoub 1984:247– 52), and al-Ghazālī devotes his next short chapter to it (al-Ghazālī 1352:45–7; tr. 75–8). The verse reads as follows:

Allah! There is no God but he, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes him. His is what is in the heavens and on the earth. Who shall intercede with Him except with His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them. And they do not comprehend of his knowledge except what He wills. His throne encompasses the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Exalted, the Great.
