Ayatul Kursi – Full Arabic Text, Transliteration & Translation
Arabic Verse:
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Transliteration:
Allahu la ilaha illa Huwa, Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom. La ta’khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. Man dhal-ladhi yashfa’u ‘indahu illa bi-idhnihi? Ya’lamu ma bayna aydeehim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuhitoona bishay’im-min ‘ilmihi illa bima sha’a. Wasi’a Kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard. Wa la ya’ooduhu hifdhuhuma. Wa Huwal-‘Aliyyul-‘Adheem.
English Translation:
"Allah—there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi (Throne) extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great."
Urdu Translation:
"اللہ، جس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں، زندہ اور ہمیشہ قائم رہنے والا ہے۔ نہ اُسے اونگھ آتی ہے نہ نیند۔ آسمانوں اور زمین میں جو کچھ ہے اُسی کا ہے۔ کون ہے جو اُس کی اجازت کے بغیر اُس کے ہاں سفارش کر سکے؟ وہ جانتا ہے جو کچھ اُن کے سامنے ہے اور جو کچھ اُن کے پیچھے ہے، اور وہ اُس کے علم میں سے کسی چیز کا احاطہ نہیں کر سکتے مگر جو وہ چاہے۔ اُس کی کرسی آسمانوں اور زمین کو گھیرے ہوئے ہے، اور اُن کی حفاظت اُسے تھکاتی نہیں۔ اور وہ بلند مرتبہ اور عظمت والا ہے۔"
Why Recite Ayatul Kursi After Salah? (Hadith Evidence)
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasized the importance of reciting Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَمُوتَ"
(Narrated by Abu Musa, Al-Nasa’i)
Translation:
"Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death."
This Hadith alone shows the immense reward of making this a daily habit!
7 Powerful Benefits of Ayatul Kursi After Salah
1. Divine Protection from Evil
Ayatul Kursi is a spiritual shield against Shaytan, black magic, and evil eye. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"When you go to bed, recite Ayatul Kursi, for there will remain over you a guardian from Allah, and no devil will approach you until morning." (Sahih Bukhari 3275)
2. Entry into Paradise
As mentioned earlier, consistent recitation after Salah is a direct path to Jannah.
3. Strengthens Faith (Iman)
Reflecting on its meaning increases Tawheed (belief in Allah’s greatness) and removes doubts.
4. Brings Barakah (Blessings) in Life
Reciting it daily invites Allah’s mercy, ease in sustenance, and protection from hardships.
5. Eases the Grave’s Punishment
Ibn Mas’ud (RA) said: "Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every prayer, only death separates him from Paradise, and he will be among those protected in his grave."
6. Guards Against Theft & Harm
Many scholars recommend reciting it for home protection, as it repels intruders and calamities.
7. Increases Good Deeds & Rewards
Each letter of the Quran carries 10 rewards, making Ayatul Kursi (50+ words) a massive source of Hasanat!
How to Make It a Daily Habit?
✅ Set a reminder after every Salah.
✅ Understand its meaning to deepen connection.
✅ Teach family members for collective blessings.
Final Thoughts: A Lifelong Shield of Faith
Ayatul Kursi isn’t just words—it’s Allah’s promise of protection, guidance, and eternal success. Every time we recite it, we affirm His greatness and seek His shelter.
Reflect: How often do we rush after Salah without remembering Allah? Let’s change that today. Start small—recite Ayatul Kursi after just one prayer, and feel its power.
May Allah make us among those who hold tightly to His words and enter Jannah without reckoning. آمين!
