Surah Al-Buruj
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Buruj: a single tall lantern burning steadily on a hilltop through a windy night, its light not going out, the vast sky and earth around it
Al-Buruj 85:8–9

The Mighty, the Praiseworthy

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ٨ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ ٩
