Ayat-ul-Kursi, found in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255), is regarded as the greatest verse of the Qur’an. It beautifully describes Allah’s absolute power, knowledge, and authority over the heavens and the earth. The Prophet ﷺ declared it the most superior verse and encouraged Muslims to recite it regularly. Its virtues are many: protection from shaytan, divine guardianship during sleep, blessings upon one’s home, and entry to Paradise for those who recite it after every obligatory prayer. This verse strengthens faith and brings peace and security to the believer’s heart, making it essential for daily recitation.
