اللَّـهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚلَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Meaning:
“Allah: There is no God but Him, the Living, the Existing. Neither slumber covers Him, nor sleep. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede before Him without His permission? He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them. And they do not comprehend anything from His Knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursi encompasses heaven and earth. And it is not difficult for Him to guard them. And He is the Most High, the Great."
This is the greatest verse of the Noble Quran. Hadith reports of his miraculous virtues and grace. Ahmad's Musnad states that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that this verse is the most meritorious verse of all. According to another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked our master `Ubayy ibn Ka`ba, may Allah be pleased with him: "What is the greatest verse of the Qur'an?" Our master `Ubayy ibn Ka`b, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "Ayat al-Kursi." Expressing agreement, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "O Abu Munzir, may Allah bless you in your knowledge."
Our lord Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “In the surah Al-Baqarah there is an ayat, which is the Sayyidah (Lady) of the verses of the Qur'an. Shaitan leaves the house where it is read.
According to the hadeeth of an-Nasa`i, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If someone reads the ayat al-Kursi after each obligatory (fard) prayer, nothing will stop him from entering Paradise after death.” This means that immediately after death, this person will begin to feel the signs of Paradise, its bliss and peace.
This verse describes the Oneness of the Essence of Allah and his attributes in a special manner - He is Alive, He hears and sees, He speaks, He is self-sufficient, He is eternal and infinite, He is the inventor and creator of the whole universe, He is beyond change and influence, He is the ruler of the entire universe. He is the Most High in His majesty, so that no one can speak before Him without His permission. He has a power so absolute that the creation, maintenance and control of the vast universe does not tire him or incline him to rest. His Knowledge encompasses everything, so that neither the smallest atom nor a drop, obvious or hidden, can hide from Him. This, in a nutshell, is the main meaning of the verse. Now let's analyze its content in detail.
اللَّـهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
Meaning: "Allah: There is no God but Him." The word "Allah" is like a proper name for the Essence of Allah. It means "The essence in which all perfections are combined and which is devoid of all shortcomings." The words "there is no God but Him" explain what this Essence is. It is said that there is absolutely nothing worthy of worship except this Essence.
Second suggestion:
الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
Meaning: "Alive, Existing".
In Arabic, the word "hayun" means "alive". Of all the names of Allah, this is chosen to emphasize that He is eternally Living, Infinite. He is above death. The word "kayumun" is derived from "qiyam", which means "to stand", and the word "kaimun" means one who stands. The words Qayum and Qayyam are excellent forms. They mean "He who himself stands strong and at the same time supports others." "Qayum" is an attribute of Allah Almighty, Who has no partner among creations, because what depends on others for its existence and survival can hardly support the existence of something else. Thus, a person cannot be called "qayyum". It is forbidden. People who abbreviate the name "`Abdul-Qayyum" (servant of Qayyum), using only the second part of it, commit a serious mistake and, as a result, a sin.
The combination of "Hayy" and "Qayyum" is known among the names of Almighty Allah as "al-ism al-a`zam" (Great Name), according to some righteous ancestors. Our master `Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, says: “There was a time during the battle of Badr when I wanted to see what the Prophet was doing, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When I arrived, I saw him in prostration (sajda), and he constantly repeated: “Ya Khayyun, ya Kayumun, ya Khayyun, ya Kayyumun.”
Third suggestion:
لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ
Meaning: "Neither drowsiness covers him, nor sleep". The word "sinatun" means drowsiness - that is, the state preceding sleep, and the word "naum" means sound sleep. The meaning of this sentence is: Almighty Allah is above slumber and sleep. The word "Qayyum" in the previous sentence informs a person that Allah Almighty rules the entire universe harmoniously, which includes all the heavens and earths, as well as everything in them. This message, in turn, may lead the questioner to the idea that He who has such a unique Being and is carrying out such a great task may feel tired from time to time and need rest and sleep. But a person whose mind, knowledge and strength are limited, was warned that in no case should one compare Allah with oneself or with other creatures and consider him similar to a person. He is beyond any resemblance or analogy. His Power is perfect, therefore no action is difficult for Him or tires Him. And He is not subject to fatigue, exhaustion, drowsiness and sleep.
Fourth suggestion:
لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
Meaning: "To Him belongs everything in heaven and on earth". The letter "lam" at the very beginning indicates belonging. Therefore, it is said here that everything in the heavens and on the earth is in the possession of Almighty Allah. He is the Master, and He can do whatever He wants with what belongs to Him.
Fifth suggestion:
مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ
Meaning: " Who can intercede before Him without His permission?» Several provisions follow from this.
Let's start with the fact that Almighty Allah is the Owner of the entire universe and there is no one more important than Him, therefore, no one is allowed to ask Him what He is doing. No one and nothing can ask why and why He does something - this is not allowed about any event. However, sometimes it is possible to intercede for another. It is clear that no mortal can even breathe before Almighty Allah without His permission. However, Allah has servants who have earned His pleasure and whom He has accepted, and they will be allowed to speak before Allah Almighty and intercede for others. In short: no one will be allowed to intercede for anyone without the permission of the Almighty. In one of the hadiths it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, I will be the first to intercede for all human communities.” This is called al-Maqam al-Mahmud, the exalted step that marked our Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
Sixth suggestion:
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ
Meaning: "He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them". This means that Almighty Allah knows about all their states and about all the events that happen to them. "Before" and "beyond" can mean that the Almighty knows about what happened before their birth, and about what happened after. It is also possible that "before" refers to states and events open to man, and "beyond" to states and events hidden from people. If so, then this means that human knowledge covers some things, while other things (events and states) do not enter into the knowledge of people. Some things are revealed to a person, and some things are not. But for Almighty Allah, all these things are equal. His Knowledge embraces everything equally. These two meanings of the sentence do not contradict each other.
Seventh suggestion:
وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ
Meaning: " And they do not comprehend anything from His Knowledge, except what He wills.". This means that man and other creatures cannot comprehend anything from the infinite Knowledge of Allah, except for a certain part, which Allah Almighty allows to be revealed. And that's all there is to know. Thus, it becomes clear that the all-encompassing Knowledge about every particle in the universe is an attribute exclusively of Almighty Allah. No man, no creature can claim to know as much.
"Al-Kursi":
"Bismillahi-r-rahmani r-rahim. Allahu la ilaha illa hu al-hayul-kayyum. Laa ta" huzuhu sinatyn wa laa naum Lahu maa fissamaauyaati wa maa fil ard. Man zallazi yashfau "indahu illa-a bi-iznih Ya" lamy maa bayna aydiyhim umaa halfakhum wala yyhiytuuna bishyai im min "ilmihii illaa bi maa shaaaaa. Wasi" i kursiyy hu-s-samaauaati wal ard walya uduhuu hifzuhuumyaa ".
Translation:
"Allah is the One besides Whom, there is no deity. He is Living, Eternally Existing, neither slumber nor sleep overcomes Him. Everything that is in Heaven and everything that is on Earth belongs to Him, whoever intercedes before Him, without His permission "He knows what was before them and knows what will happen after them, they seize from His knowledge only what He wills. His Throne embraces Heaven and Earth, and His guarding them is not burdensome, truly. He is High, Great" .
« Ayataeh- Kursi” is the 255th verse of Surah Bakara of the Holy Quran. The hadeeth of the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) states:
“Like everything in the world has a core, a foundation, so the essence, the central place of the Bakara sura is the Ayat of the Heavenly Throne.
Hazrat Babafariduddin Janj (rahmatullah 'aleih) reported that “When Ayat al-Kursi was sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Angel Jibrail ('aleihis-salaam), surrounded by 70 thousand angels, transmitted this verse, saying at the same time that “The one who sincerely reads it will receive a reward as for 70 years of service to the Almighty. And the one who reads Ayat al-Kursi before leaving the house will be surrounded by 1000 angels who will pray for his forgiveness.”
The person reading this verse is under the protection of the most majestic angels of the Almighty.
Reading Ayat al-Kursi will be protected from the evil of genies from morning to evening and from evening to morning.
Ayat al-Kursi is equal to a quarter of the Holy Quran.
Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi constantly after each obligatory prayer, then only death separates this person from Paradise.
Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi after the obligatory prayer will be protected until the next prayer.
And the reader himself, and his children, and his house, and his wealth, property, and even the houses of neighbors will be protected.
Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi before going to bed will be protected by two angels until the morning.
Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi before leaving the house, he will be under the protection of Allah until he returns.
Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi and the beginning of Sura N 40 “Gaafir” in the morning will be safe until the evening, and if you read in the evening, then there will be safety until the morning.
Kutbubbin Bakhtiyar (rahmatullah ‘alayh - may Allah be merciful to him) reported, “Allah will relieve the house of the person who reads Ayat al-Kursi before leaving the house.”
When reading Ayat al-Kursi, the evil genies are expelled from the premises.
Who on Fridays, preferably in solitude, begins to read Ayat al-Kursi 70 times after the prayer of Al-Asr (the third in a row), he will begin to see the inner spiritual light, and every dua made at this moment will be accepted by Allah.
Before any test that a person has to experience, whether it is a meeting with negative people or another danger in the form of a natural element, etc. read Ayat al-Kursi.
The Great Caliph of Islam - "Ali (glad to Allah anhu) said:
“I cannot understand those Muslims who do not read Ayat al-Kursi before going to bed. If you only knew how great this verse is, you would never neglect reading Ayat al-Kursi, because it was given to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘aleihi wa sallam) from the treasuries of Al-Arsh. Ayat al-Kursi was not sent down to any of the Prophets before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). And I never go to bed without first reading Ayat al-Kursi.
One of the most famous verses of the Koran is Ayatul Kursi - verse 255 of the chapter of the Korov. Ayatul Kursi in Russian means "Ayat of the Throne, Ayat of the Throne." It got its name due to the mention of the throne of the Most High in it. There are several versions about his reasons for sending down, but none of them is reliable.
This verse is the greatest verse of Scripture. It contains the attributes of monotheism, limitless power and the greatness of Allah. Choosing another object for worship is a crime. This verse lists some of the beautiful names of the Almighty. One of them is Alive, which in itself contains the possession of sight, hearing, will and other properties. Allah is Self-sufficient. He is the Sovereign, Supporting the life of all things, providing his creations with everything necessary. Of course, the Self-sufficiency of Allah implies the absence of such qualities as weakness, fatigue. He alone has dominion over all that is between the heavens and the earthly stronghold. And how insignificant is the man who boasts of his power and virtues! Only believers know that all creations are slaves of the Almighty. And in His immeasurable all-encompassing power, only Allah is able to intercede for His slaves. No mortal is allowed to do this! The honor of His intercession can be awarded to adherents of monotheism, followers of the noble prophets.
The knowledge of the Supreme has no boundaries and embraces the past, present and future. And nothing and no one is able to hide from this comprehensive knowledge. It is difficult for a person to appreciate the essence of the knowledge of the Creator, because the creatures know only what Allah has taught them. The knowledge of mankind, including numerous discoveries in various fields, is a drop in the boundless ocean of knowledge of the Almighty. The angels close to Allah said: “Holy are You! We only know what You have taught us. Verily, You are the Knower, the Wise."(Sura al-Baqarah, verse 32).
For a complete understanding of the verse, it is recommended to study its tafsir, which can be found in the collections of Islamic scholars. One of these personalities is Abd ar-Rahman bin Nasir al-Saadi (may Allah have mercy on him) - the author of the collection "Relief from the Magnanimous and Merciful."
Now every Muslim, regardless of his place of residence, has the opportunity to listen to the Koran at any time. This can be done for free. Anyone can enjoy the wonderful reading of such a famous Quran reciter as Mishari Rashid using the Internet.
Virtues of Ayah Al Kursi
The peculiarity of this verse is in its miraculous power, which it possesses due to the evidence of monotheism and the greatness of Allah. In this verse, the Creator speaks about Himself to His servants in simple language, using metaphors understandable to the descendants of Adam. And constantly thinking about the true meaning of this verse, the believer fills his soul with faith, knowledge and protects himself from the machinations of shaitans and genies.
Indeed, this verse is the greatest and most valuable in the entire Qur'an. The noble Messenger of Allah, in response to the question of which verse of the Holy Scripture he considers the greatest and most significant, answered: “Ayat al-Kursi”. Many other sayings of the Messenger of Allah are known, in which he emphasizes the virtues and value of reading this verse. The Prophet recommended to his companions to read ayat Al-Kursi as a dua for solving many problems, for example, for curing diseases, protecting and purifying from the machinations of the devil, getting rid of fear, for forgiveness of sins. Ayat Yal-Kursi can be read after obligatory and additional prayers, before eating, before leaving the house, when returning home, when visiting a sick person, as well as in any difficult life situations.
A hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah says: “Indeed, everything has a peak, and the sura of Al-Baqara is the peak of the Qur'an, and in this sura there is an ayat that is the master of all the verses of the Qur'an - Ayatul-Kursi.” Also, the prophet recommended to pronounce the Altar verse after prayer in order to protect oneself from the intrigues of the devil. This is evidenced by the hadith narrated by Al-Hasan: “Whoever reads the ayat “al-Kursi” after prayer, he will be under the protection of God until the next prayer” (given in the collection of hadith at-Tabarani).
Ayat Al Kursi has the deepest spiritual meaning and helps everyone to realize the greatness of the divine principle and come closer to spiritual perfection. But in order to take advantage of all the benefits of the verse, it is necessary to learn how to read it correctly in Arabic and study the tafsir. Nowadays, even for a Muslim who does not speak Arabic, this does not present any difficulty. It is enough to enter the Internet and type in the search line the text “Ayat Al Kursi” and the worldwide network will immediately display a selection of sites where it is possible to study the transcription of this majestic verse. Anyone can do it online. You can also download the necessary materials to your computer or smartphone. And having mastered the correct reading, a Muslim will be able to constantly repeat it, reflect on its meaning and comprehend the meaning. As a result, the believer's heart will become softer and kinder, and iman - more perfect. And a person will be able to fulfill the prophet’s covenant: “To the one who reads the ayat“ al-Kursi ”after prayer, [if he dies] nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise.” This hadith was narrated by Abu Umama, it is given in the collection of As-Suyuta J. "Al-jami' as-sagyr" as a hadith "sahih".
