'''Al-Kursī Verse''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|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 the al-Kursi Verse. This is the only verse in 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)]].

The verse came to be called "al-Kursi" since the time of [[the Prophet (s)]]. He is quoted as saying that "the greatest verse in [[Qur'an]] is the al-Kursi Verse" and "the master of all words in Qur'an; the master of Qur'an is [[Sura al-Baqara]], and the master of Sura al-Baqara is the al-Kursi Verse". The verse has always been particularly honored by [[Islam|Muslim]]s, since all Islamic doctrines rest upon [[monotheism]], which is comprehensively summarized in the al-Kursi Verse. The verse characterizes both the [[Divine essence]] and the [[ Divine attributes]] and acts.

There are many hadiths in both [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] sources concerning the features and positive impacts of reciting the al-Kursi Verse in different circumstances. According to these hadiths, it is [[mustahab]] to recite this verse in all conditions, particularly after performing [[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.
