Al-Fatiha: Verse 7
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

The right one is Tasbih al-Tarawih:
دعاء تراويح … سبحان ذي الملك والملكوت … سبحان ذي العزة والعظمة والهيبة والقدرة والكبرياء والجبروت … سبحان الملك الحي الذي لا ينام ولا يموت … سبوح قدوس ربنا ورب الملائكة والروح .

Exalted is the Possessor of the hidden and the manifest dominion.
Exalted is the Possessor of Might, Greatness, Reverence, Power, Pride, and Majesty. Exalted is the Master, the Living, the one who neither sleeps nor dies. All-perfect, All-holy, Our Lord, and the Lord of the angels and the souls.

Overall each set of tiles in frame measures 46.5″ high x 35″ wide. Please note they are extremely heavy.
