Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255)-Part 2of2 | Ayat al-Kursi: The Greatest Verse | by Shaikh Abdul Rahman Atiq

Summary: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255), known as Ayat al-Kursi, is one of the most powerful and profound verses in the Qur’an. It describes the عظَمة (majesty), knowledge, and absolute authority of Allah ﷻ. The verse begins by affirming that Allah is Al-Hayy (The Ever-Living) and Al-Qayyum (The Sustainer of all existence) — meaning everything depends on Him, while He depends on nothing. Allah’s knowledge is complete: He knows what is before us and what is after us Nothing happens except by His permission No one can intercede except with His approval His Kursi (Throne/Authority) extends over the heavens and the earth, and protecting them does not tire Him. He is Al-‘Aliyy (The Most High) and Al-‘Azim (The Most Great). This verse is a complete declaration of Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) — His power, knowledge, and control over everything. 🌟 Key Lessons from Ayat al-Kursi: Allah is eternal, self-sustaining, and never sleeps or tires His knowledge is absolute — past, present, and future No intercession or action occurs without His permission His authority encompasses all creation True security and protection come from remembering Him
