Ayatul Kursi - Surah Al Baqarah 2:255


Whoever recites Aayat al-Kursiy immediately after each prescribed prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death.

اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الۡحَـىُّ الۡقَيُّوۡمُ

Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists.

Allaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyoom,

لَا تَاۡخُذُهٗ سِنَةٌ وَّلَا نَوۡمٌ‌ؕ

Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him.

laa ta'khuthuhu sinatun wa laa nawm,

لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.

lahu maa fis-samaawaati wa maafil-'ardh,

مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يَشۡفَعُ عِنۡدَهٗۤ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِهٖ‌ؕ

Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?

man thal-lathee yashfa'u 'indahu 'illaa bi'ithnih,

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ‌ۚ

He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter.

ya'lamu maa bayna 'aydeehim wa maa khalfahum,

وَلَا يُحِيۡطُوۡنَ بِشَىۡءٍ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهٖۤ اِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ

And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills.

wa laa yuheetoona bishay'im-min 'ilmihi 'illaa bimaa shaa'a,

وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ

His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth,

wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samaawaati wal'ardh,

وَلَا يَـــُٔوۡدُهٗ حِفۡظُهُمَا

and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.

wa laa ya'ooduhu hifdhuhumaa,

وَهُوَ الۡعَلِىُّ الۡعَظِيۡمُ‏

And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

wa Huwal-'Aliyyul- 'Adheem.
