Al-Kursi Verse: Difference between revisions

'''Al-Kursi Verse''' (Arabic: آیة الکرسی) is the verse 255 of [[Sura al-Baqara]] in [[Qur'an]]. Some interpreters of Qur'an have taken its following two verses (256-257) to be part of 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)]].

According to [[hadiths]], it is supererogatory or [[mustahab]] to recite this verse in all conditions, particularly after saying [[prayers]], before going to sleep, when leaving home, when facing dangers and troubles, when riding a vehicle, to prevent evil eyes, for health, and so on.

The verse 255, and also according to some hadiths and views of some scholars of Quranic exegesis verses 256 and 257, of Sura al-Baqara are parts of the al-Kursi Verse.
