Some exegetes of the Qur'an have taken its following two verses (256-257) to be part of the al-Kursi Verse. This is the only verse in the Qur'an in which "God's Kursi (seat or throne)" is mentioned as extending to the heavens and the Earth. This is why the verse was known as the al-Kursi Verse. It was called so since the time of the Prophet (s). Thus, understanding ayatul kursi is not just about literary knowledge but also about living with greater intent in life. In order to do so, let us first look at what exactly ayatul kursi is and why it is so important. Ayatul kursi is the 255th verse of surah Al-Baqarah (the Cow) in the Quran which states “Allah! There is a so-called Muslim country in which the citizens are Muslims who recite the shahada, yet until recently they used to hold a weeklong festival to send praises to the gods of the sea. How can a Muslim recite the shahada and ayatul kursi and declares that Allah is the only true deity yet sends praises to the gods of the sea?! Closing. As a conclusion, reciting ayat al-Kursi have its own advantages as stated in the above hadith from Abi Umamah, which means it is sunnah for us to recite ayat al-Kursi every time we have performed the obligatory prayer. Lastly, may Allah SWT give us understanding and strength to practise the sunnah of the Prophet PBUH in our daily lives Tafseer of Ayatul Kursi 5 www.MemphisDawah.com intends (wills); Above everything [ istawaa (ascended) upon the ‘arsh above the seven heavens] and with everything [He encompasses everything with His Knowledge, Ability, Authority, and so forth Libj.
