bismi allahi alrrahmani alrrahimi
In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي ٱلارْضِ
wa ma min dabbatin fi al-ardi
And there is no animal in the earth
إِلاَّ عَلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا
illa `ala allahi rizquha
but on Allah is the sustenance of it,
وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا
wa ya`lamu mustaqarraha wa mustawda`aha
and He knows its resting place and its depository.
كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ
kullun fi kitabin mubinin
All (things) are in a manifest book.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismi allahi alrrahmani alrrahimi
In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful;
