The importance of the verse Al-Kursi
It is reported that one day, Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, while guarding the collected zakat, caught a thief who said to him: “Let me go, and I will teach you such words that Allah will make useful for you!” Abu Hurayrah asked: “What are these words?” He said: “When you go to bed, read “Ayat al-Kursi” from beginning to end, and a guardian from Allah will always be with you, and Satan will not be able to approach you until the morning!” After this, Abu Hurayrah told the Prophet about this, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: “He really told you the truth, despite the fact that he is a notorious liar!” After which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, told Abu Hurayrah that it was the Shaitan himself in the form of a man (Al-Bukhari “Sahih” 2311).
Ubay ibn Ka'b said: “Once the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked me: “O Abul-Munzir, do you know which verse from the Book of Allah is the greatest?” I said: “This is the verse that says: Allah - there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, the Living, the Almighty...“(verse al-Kursi) After this, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, slapped me on the chest and said: “May you be happy in knowledge, O Abul-Munzir!”" (Muslim “Sahih” 810).

Ayat "Al-Kursi"
Transcription of the verse “Al-Kursi”
Bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim.
Allahu laya ilyayahe illya huwal-hayyul-qayyuum, laya ta-hu h uhu sinatuv-valya navm, lyakhumaafis-samaavaati vamaafil-ard, Maine h al-la h ii yashfya‘u ‘indahu illya bi and h them, ya'lyamu maa beine aidihim wa maa halfahum wa laya yuhiituune bi sheyim-min 'ilmihi illya bi maa shaa'a, wasi'a kursiyuhu ssamaavati val-ard, wa laya yauduhu hifzukhumaa wa huval-'aliyul-'azim.
“Allah (God, Lord). There is no god but Him, the eternally Living, Existing One. Neither sleep nor slumber will befall him. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and on the Earth. Who will intercede before Him, except according to His will!? He knows what has been and what will be. No one is able to comprehend even a particle of His knowledge, except by His will. The heavens and the Earth are embraced by the Kursiya (Great Throne) of Him, and His concern for them [About everything that is in our galactic system] does not bother Him. He is the Most High [in all characteristics above everything and everyone], the Great [His greatness has no limits]!” (see, Holy Quran, Surah al-Baqarah, verse 255 (2:255)).
Ayat “Al-Kursi” is a special verse of the Holy Quran, which has not only deep meaning, but also the power of mystical influence. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, this is the greatest of the Quranic verses, because it contains evidence of monotheism, as well as the greatness and limitlessness of the qualities of the Almighty Creator. In this verse, in words accessible to human understanding, the Lord tells people about Himself and His incomparability with any objects and essences of the world He created. This verse truly has glorious and delightful meanings and deserves to be called the greatest of the Qur'anic verses. And if a person reads it, reflecting on its meaning and comprehending its meaning, then his heart is filled with conviction, knowledge and faith, thanks to which he protects himself from the evil machinations of Satan.
“The Throne” (“al-kursi”) is one of the greatest creations of the Creator. The Messenger of Allah said: “The seven heavens (Earth and heaven) compared to the foot of the Throne are like a ring thrown in the desert, and the superiority of the Throne over its foot is like the superiority of this desert over this ring.” 1 “The Throne” “no one is able to imagine in a worthy way except Allah Almighty 2. The quoted words of the verse “Al-Kursi” should not be interpreted in a literal sense. Allah cannot be limited by any space and does not need any “al-kursi” (throne, chair) or “al-‘arsh” (throne).
Ayat Al-Kursi in its meaning and significance is equal to one quarter of the entire Holy Quran. Ali 3, the successor of the Prophet Muhammad, spoke about the power of its action: “I cannot understand those Muslims who do not read the verse “Al-Kursi” before going to bed. If you knew how great this verse is, you would never neglect to read it, because it was given to your Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from the treasuries of al-‘Arsh. The verse “Al-Kursi” was not given to any of the prophets before Muhammad (God bless them). And I never spend a night without reciting the verse of Al-Kursi three times [before going to bed].”
The Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Whoever reads the verse “Al-Kursi” after prayer-namaz will be under the protection of Allah Almighty until the next prayer.” 4 “Whoever reads the verse “Al-Kursi” after the prayer-namaz, [if he dies] nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise” 5.
The name of the verse "Al-Kursi" is sometimes mistakenly written as "Ayatul Kursi". The Koran consists of 114 parts called suras. Surahs consist of verses. In Surah Bakkara, verse number 255 is called “Al-Kursi”. Hence the name - verse “Al-Kursi”. Not all verses in the Koran have a title.

He thinks that wealth will immortalize him [make him immortal]?! No! He will be thrown into al-khutoma. Do you know what “al-khutoma” is? This is the kindled fire of the Lord [hell fire], which reaches the hearts [gradually burning them and bringing them incomparable pain].

Several semantic translations are possible: “I swear by the time interval that begins after the sun moves from its zenith and continues until sunset”; "I swear by the afternoon prayer."
That is, the slanderers thrown into “al-hutoma” will lose all hope of liberation, the gates of Hell will be tightly closed in front of them.
The Quranic sura tells about a historical event that occurred in the year of birth of the last messenger of the Lord Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and became a sign for people who understand.
By this time, the ancient temple of Monotheism, the Kaaba, restored by the prophet Abraham (see: Holy Koran, 22:26, 29), was again turned by the Arabs into the main temple of their pagan pantheon. Mecca became the center of paganism, attracting pilgrims from all over the Arab East. This caused discontent among the rulers of neighboring states. Then the ruler of Yemen, Abraha, in order to attract pilgrims, built a new temple, striking in its luxury and beauty. But the religious building was never able to become a center of pilgrimage for nomads, who still recognized only Mecca as such.
One day, a certain pagan Bedouin, demonstrating his disrespect for a Yemeni temple, desecrated it. Upon learning of this, Abraha vowed to wipe the Kaaba from the face of the earth.
In the army he equipped there were eight (according to other sources - twelve) elephants, which were supposed to destroy the Kaaba.
Approaching Mecca, Abraha's army set up a rest camp. The camels grazing in the vicinity immediately became prey for the Yemenis. Among them were two hundred camels that belonged to one of the most respected people of Mecca, ‘Abdul-Muttalib (grandfather of the future Prophet).
Meanwhile, Abraha ordered the most respected Meccan to be brought to him. Residents pointed to ‘Abdul-Muttalib, who went to negotiate with Abraha. The dignity and nobility of ‘Abdul-Muttalib immediately inspired the ruler of Yemen to respect him, and he invited the Meccan to sit next to him. “Do you have any request for me?” – asked Abraha. “Yes,” replied ‘Abdul-Muttalib. “I want to ask you to return my camels, which your soldiers took away.” Abraha was surprised: “Seeing your noble face and courage, I sat down next to you. But after hearing you, I realized that you are a cowardly and selfish person. While I came with the intention of wiping your shrine from the face of the earth, are you asking for some camels?!” “But I am only the owner of my camels, and the owner of the temple is the Lord Himself, He will preserve it...” was the answer. Having taken his herd, ‘Abdul-Muttalib returned to the city, abandoned by the inhabitants who did not have the opportunity to resist the huge army. Together with the people accompanying him, ‘Abdul-Muttalib prayed for a long time at the threshold of the Kaaba, offering a prayer for the salvation and preservation of the Lord’s temple, after which they left Mecca.
When Abrakha's troops attempted to storm the city, a miraculous sign occurred: a flock of birds appeared and pelted the army with stones made of burnt clay. Abraha's army was destroyed. Defenseless Mecca and Kaaba were saved, because according to the Lord's plan they were destined for a different fate.
This story is a clear sign for those with understanding.
See, for example: Ibn Kasir I. Tafsir al-qur'an al-'azim. T. 4. pp. 584, 585.
The Lord is Almighty: He reveals His punishment through seemingly weak and defenseless creatures. Thus, for Pharaoh’s refusal to release Moses and his people for worship, one of the “plagues of Egypt” was the invasion of toads, midges, “dog flies,” and locusts that infested all of Egypt. The “plagues of Egypt,” according to the Bible, forced Pharaoh to release the people of Israel from captivity (Ex. 8:10).
Reading the Quran is a great way to overcome anxiety, forget about vanity and worries. There is a special verse in the Holy Book that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spoke about. He noted that these verses of the Koran give the most rewards in both worlds to those who read them. We are talking about Ayatul-Kursi, which is also called the verse of the Throne.
It says:
“Allah - there is no deity except Him, eternally living, eternally existing. Neither drowsiness nor sleep has power over Him. To Him belongs what is in heaven and what is on earth. Who will, without His permission, intercede before Him [for anyone]? He knows what happened before people and what will happen after them. People comprehend from His knowledge only what He wills. Heaven and earth are subject to Him; it is not a burden for Him to protect them. He is the Most High, the Great” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2/255).
The merits of Ayatul-Kursi are stated in numerous hadiths. For example, Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu anhu) said:
“Once the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ordered me to guard the zakat received in Ramadan. Then I saw a man sneak up to the amanat and start stealing food. I caught the thief and said that I would take him to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). However, he prayed and promised to tell words that would benefit both worlds. He advised reading Ayatul-Kursi before going to bed. When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) learned about what had happened, he explained: “The one who came to steal the zakat is the shaitan. He is a liar, but this time he told you the truth" (Bukhari, Sahih, 61, 530).
Aifa ibn Abdul Kila'i heard a man ask the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) to name the greatest surah of the Qur'an. He said that this is al-Baqarah, which contains the verse of the Throne. This is the highest mercy of Allah bestowed on people and brings countless benefits in both worlds (Tirmidhi, 2169).

Ayat Al Kursi (ayatal kursi) is the 255th verse of Surah Al Baqarah (the cow). (Some believe that this verse is a surah) Prophet Mohammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said that this is the greatest verse of the Quran because it contains itself evidence of monotheism, as well as the greatness and limitlessness of the qualities of the Almighty.It contains “ismi ´azam”, i.e. the greatest name of the Almighty.
Imam al-Bukhari, in his collection of hadiths, cites a hadith about his dignity: “Once, when Abu Hurayrah (radiallahu anhu) was guarding the collected zakat, he caught a thief who said to him: “Let me go, and I will teach you such words that Allah will make useful for you!” Abu Hurayrah (radhiallahu anhu) asked: “What are these words?” He said: “When you go to bed, read “Ayat al Kursi” from beginning to end, and a guardian from Allah will always be with you, and Satan will not be able to approach you until the morning!” After this, Abu Hurairah (radiallahu aknu) told the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about this, and he said: “He actually told you the truth, despite the fact that he is a notorious liar!” After which the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) told Abu Hurayrah (radiallahu akhnu) that it was the Shaitan himself in the form of a man.”
Another hadith says: “When Ayatul Kursi was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), the Angel Jibraeel, surrounded by 70 thousand angels, conveyed this verse, saying that “Whoever sincerely reads it will receive a reward as for 70 years of service to the Almighty. And the one who reads Ayatul Kursi before leaving home will be surrounded by 1000 angels who will pray for his forgiveness."
Reading the verse of Al-Kursi is equal to reading one fourth of the Quran, at least listen to it constantly.
The one who reads it will be protected from thieves and Satan. Reading this verse before entering a house drives the shaitan out of it. If you read it and blow on food and drink, it will bring blessings, and if you blow on things and clothes, it will protect them from Satan and the thief. The reader of Ayatul Kursi will be protected from the evil of the jinn from morning to evening and from evening to morning.
Whoever reads the text of verse al Kursi constantly after each obligatory prayer, then only death separates this person from Paradise. If you read verse al-Kursi together with the last verse of surah al-Baqarah, then dua (prayers to the Almighty) will not remain unanswered. Download verse Al-Kursi from the website to read 33 or 99 times daily for safety and blessings. Read 3 times before bed, especially if you have nightmares. Praise be to Allah, the Most High Master, in whose hand is power over everything and to whom you will be returned!
One of the most frequently repeated and famous verses of the Final Revelation of the Almighty is “Ayatul-Kursi” (or verse “al-Kursi” - “Ayat of the Throne”). It is given in the second sura of the Book of Allah - “Al-Baqarah” (“The Cow”) under number 255.
It is reported from Abu Hurayrah (ra) that the Messenger of the Lord Muhammad (s.g.w.) admonished his ummah: “Truly, everything has a peak, and Surah “Bakara” is the peak of the Koran. And in this surah there is an verse that is the master of all the verses of the Koran - Ayatul-Kursi” (transmitted in the collections of Hakim and at-Tirmidhi).
In Arabic text of “Ayat of the Throne” looks like that:
اللّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Transcription: Allahu la ilaha illahu, al-hayyul-Qayyum. La ta-huzuhu sina-tuu-ua la naum. Lyahu ma fis-samauati ua ma fil-ard. Manzallazi yashfa-'u 'indahu illa bi-iznih? Ya'lamu ma bayna aidihim wa ma halfahum. Wa la yu-hituna bi-shayim-min ‘il-mihi illya bima sha! Ua-si-'a Kursiyuhus-Samaua-ti wal-ard; wa la ya-udu-hu hifzu-huma wa Khuual-’aliyul-’aziym.
Translation of meaning: Allah - there is no god but Him, and only Him we should worship. Allah is Alive, Existing and preserves the existence of all people. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overwhelms him; He alone owns what is in the heavens and on earth; and He has no equal. Who will intercede for another before Him without His permission? Allah - glory to Him Almighty! - knows everything that has happened and what will happen. No one can comprehend anything from His wisdom and knowledge except what He allows. The Throne of Allah, His knowledge and His power are greater than the heavens and the earth, and His protection of them does not burden Him. Truly, He is the Most High, the One and the Great!
Many hadiths are devoted to the significance and greatness of this verse. Some of them are reliable, but there are also weak ones (in other words, there is a loss or questionable transmitters in the chain of transmitters).
For example, it is reported that if a believer says to himself the verse “al-Kursi” after completing the obligatory prayers before saying the tasbih (33 times each of “SubhanAllah”, “Alhamdulillah” and “Allahu Akbar!”), then after death nothing will prevent him from getting to Paradise.
It is also known that the fourth righteous caliph Ali (ra) said: “I do not understand those who, when going to bed, do not read the Ayat of the Throne.” According to him, if a person realized the degree of greatness of this verse, he would never neglect to read it, because this fragment of the Noble Quran was revealed to the Final Messenger of God (s.g.v.) from Arsh itself.
It is believed that reading “Ayat al-Kursi” helps to overcome the shaitan and rid the home of him. You can learn this dua by repeating the Koran-hafiz on our video, which also provides a transcription in Russian letters:
No one has any doubts or disagreements about the importance of constantly quoting Ayatul-Kursi. The reason is simple: the highest qualities inherent only to Him are very often mentioned here: Hayu (Eternally living, He who has neither beginning nor end); Qayyum (Existing, Independent of anyone or anything, not needing anyone or anything); Aliyu (Highest, Highly Honored); Azyimu (The Greatest).
In addition, the verse “al-Kursi” provides such signs of the Creator as:
- Vahdaniyat (Unity): “Allah - there is no god but Him...”;
- Geylm (Possession of knowledge): “...knows everything that was and what will be. No one can comprehend anything from His wisdom and knowledge except what He allows”;
- Malik (sovereignty): “He alone owns what is in the heavens and on the earth; and He has no equal...";
- Qudrat (Power): “The Throne of Allah, His knowledge and His power are broader than the heavens and the earth, and His protection of them does not burden Him”;
- Irada (Will): “Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him,” “no one can comprehend anything from His wisdom and knowledge except what He allows” (2:255).
This passage from Surah Baqarah has this name because of the word “Kursi” mentioned in it. Theologians have given it different interpretations. Hassan Basri believed that this refers to the Arsh (Throne) of the Lord of the Worlds. Ibn Kathir assured that “kursi” does not simply mean Arsh, but it is something more than a throne. Abdullah ibn Abbas (r.a.), in turn, emphasized: “Kursi” means gyylm (knowledge) of our Creator.

Attention! The transcription of the Al Kursi verse, as well as other surahs or verses, cannot accurately convey the correct pronunciation of the Quran. This is due to the fact that the Arabic language has letters whose pronunciation cannot be conveyed in Russian letters. Therefore, if you do not know how to read the Koran in Arabic yourself, but want to learn some surah, then it is best to contact someone who can teach it to you correctly. If you do not have this opportunity, then study the verse of Al Kursi using the audio playback below.

"Allah (God, Lord)... There is no god except Him, the eternally Living, Existing One. Neither sleep nor drowsiness can comprehend Him. Everything in the heavens and on Earth belongs to Him. Who will intercede before Him, except by will Him!?He knows what has been and what will be.No one is able to comprehend even a particle of His knowledge, except by His will.Heaven and Earth are embraced by the Kursiya (Great Throne) of Him, and His concern for them [About everything that is in our galactic system]. He is the Most High [in all characteristics above everything and everyone], the Great [His greatness has no limits]!" (see, Holy Koran, Surah al-Baqarah, verse 255 (2:255)).
