Ayat al-Kursi
The Virtues of Ayat al-Kursi and the Blessings of Its Recitation Daily
There is no doubt that Ayat al-Kursi (verse 255 of surah Al-Baqarah) is the most magnificent verse of the Holy Qur’an. There are various Hadiths in which the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized its magnificence and virtues. By including this verse into our daily recitations, we can ensure complete safety from Allah (SWT) from all kinds of evil, Shaytan, and worries.
In today’s post, we have brought you the top 2 virtues of Ayat al-Kursi with Sahih Hadith references.
- Reciting It After Every Obligatory (Farz) Namaz (Way to Jannah)
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stated that he who will recite Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory namaz, nothing shall remain between him and Jannah, except death.
English Version:
“O Allah! No god is there but He, the Living, the Eternal, the Independent, the Absolute, neither sleep seizes Him nor slumber. Unto Him belongs whatsoever is in the heaven and whatsoever is in the earth; and who so intercedes with Him does so only with His permission. And His are the knowledge of the present and the knowledge of the future. And not the least of things concerning Him escapes from His knowledge except what He may desire to do. His Kursi embraces the heavens and the earth, and weariness does not touch Him.”
- Reciting It Before Sleep (Shelter Against Shaytan)
As stated in hadith, upon reciting Surah Ayat-ul Kursi before sleep, Allah will appoint an angelic protector for that person who will protect him during sleep; furthermore, Shaytan will not be able to approach him till the next morning.
The benefit: This is the best spiritual remedy for protecting oneself and their children against nightmares, Nazr-e-Bad, or any other spirit.
