Ayat ul Kursi is one of the most significant ayahs in the Qur’an. The prophet (ﷺ) said: “For everything there is a pinnacle and the pinnacle of the Qur’an is Surat Al-Baqarah, in it there is an Ayah which is the master of the Ayat in the Qur’an; [it is] Ayat Al-Kursi.” [Tirmidhi]
Let us explore the miracle behind this ayah for it has such a significance in Islam. First, let us look at the brief translation and listen to the recitation:
“Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.” 2:255
Allah knows best.
