A Persian Peshkabz for comment and help with translation

Congratulations GePi! Beautiful pesh-kabz.
This is verse 255 of the second surah in the holy Quran, The Throne verse.
It is written in a very artistic calligraphy of thulth font.
Translation is:
"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 permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
[Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]

There are many stories and verses in the Koran influenced by the Bible. Here is one original:

“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep”

Psalm 121.
