Ayatul Kursi (the Verse of the Throne) is the 255th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah. It is widely recognized as the most powerful and majestic verse in the Holy Quran, outlining the beautiful attributes of Allah’s absolute sovereignty, knowledge, and power.
The Magnificent Meaning
The verse opens with the assertion of Divine Unity and life: "Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence." It goes on to describe how His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and its preservation tires Him not.
Virtues of Recitation
The Prophet ﷺ stated that reciting Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer is a key that leads to Paradise. It is also an ultimate source of spiritual protection when recited in the morning, evening, and before sleeping.
