22nd December 2024

Benefits of Ayat Al-Kursi Ayat 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah, known as ‘Ayat Al-Kursi’, is also referred to as the ‘Leader of all Quranic Verses’.

 

This verse was revealed after the migration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), accompanied by thousands of angels due to its greatness and magnificence. The devils and demons were also shaken because there was a barrier in their struggle. Therefore, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) immediately commanded Zaid bin Thabit (the scribe of the Quran) to write it down and spread it.

 

This verse is called ‘Ayat Kursi’ because it contains the word ‘KURSI’, which means ‘the Magnificent and Honorable Seat’. It symbolizes the greatness of God, encompassing the seven heavens and the seven earths.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌۭ وَلَا نَوْمٌۭ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
