Ayat al-Kursi

Ayat Al-Kursi is one of my favorite merits from Quran. I always read this ayat everyday. A few days ago, I told my husband how I love this ayat so much. Then he said : "Why don't you find out what's the ayat means".

Then the searching is begin, and I found this from Islamic Information Center : 

"ALLAHU LAA ILAAHA ILLA HUWAL HAYYUL QAYYUMU. LAA TA'KHUDZUHUU SINATUW WA LAA NAUUM. LAHUU MAA FISSAMAAWAATI WA MAA FIL ARDHI. MAN DZAL LADZII YASFA'U 'INDAHUU ILLAA BI IDZNIHI. YA'LAMU MAA BAINA AIDIIHIM WA MAA KHALFAHUM. WA LAA YUHITHUUNA BI SYAI-IN MIN 'ILMIHII ILLAA BI MAASYAA-A. WASI'A KURSIYYUHUSSAMAAWAATI WAL ARDHA. WA LAA YA-UDHUU HIFZHUHUMAA WAHUWAL 'ALIYYUL AZHIIM"

In English :

"In the name of Allah the Most Merciful, and Compassionate Allah 

There is no god but He,

The Living, the Everlasting, 

Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep,

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. 

Who is there that can intercede with His, except by His leave? 

He knows what lies before them and what is after them, 

And they comprehend not anything of His Knowledge save as He wills. 

His throne comprises the heavens and the earth,

The preserving of them fatigues Him not, 

And He is the All-High, All-Glorious"

In Bahasa Indonesia :

Allah tidak ada Tuhan melainkan Dia yang Maha Kekal lagi terus menerus mengurus makhlukNya, tidak mengantuk dan tidak tidur KepunyaanNya apa yang di langit dan di bumi. Siapakah yang dapat memberi syafa'at di sisi Allah tanpa izinNya? Allah mengetahui apa-apa yang di hadapan mereka dan di belakang meraka, dan mereka tidak mengetahui apa-apa dari ilmu Allah melainkan apa yang dikehendakiNya. Kursi Allah meliputi langit dan bumi, Dan Allah tidak merasa berat memelihara keduanya, dan Allah Maha Tinggi lagi Maha Besar. (QS : Al-Baqarah : 255)

The reason why Ayat al-Kursi is the most excellent verse, is that this verse mentions the names of Allah Most High more than any other verse (i.e. this verse contains the most remembrance (dhikr) of Allah Most High). For example, some verses of the Quran may mention the names of Allah Most High two times, some may mention the names of Allah Most High four times, and some ten times. But in Ayat al-Kursi, the names of Allah Most High have been mentioned seventeen times. Ayat al-Kursi mentions six attributes (sifat) of Allah Most High, all six being mentioned in this single verse. The attributes mentioned are: the Divine Oneness (Wahdaniyyah) of Allah Most High, His Life (Hayah), His Knowledge (?Ilm), His Kingdom (Mulk), His Divine Power (Qudrah) and His Will (Iradah).

Heavenly words. I love this! :)
