Ayat Al-Kursi | آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ | Raad Mohammad al Kurdi | رعد محمد الكردي
Explanation:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has stated that this verse is the greatest verse of the Qur’an due that which it comprises of Tawheed, completely singling out Allah, alone, without any partners, in all acts of worship and the many attributes of Allah, The Exalted Inventor of all things.
Allah informs us that He is “Allah”: Meaning, The One to whom belongs worship, in all its senses: None deserves to be worshiped except Him. Therefore, worshipping other than Allah is futile. He is “Al-Hayy” : The Ever-Living : To whom belongs all of the qualities of perfect life; including perfect hearing, vision, ability, will, and other attributes relating to His essence. He is “Al-Qayyoom” The Sustainer; it entails all of His attributes describing His actions. He is independent and free of any need of His creation. He sustains all of existence.
He has originated everything into existence, has provided everything with sustenance, and all the necessities for existence and survival. Due to His perfect qualities of life and sustainment, “Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him”. Drowsiness and sleep only occur in the creation, which experiences weakness, exhaustion, and inability, and does not apply to the One of Magnificence, Greatness, and Splendor! He informs us that He is The Owner of everything that is within the heavens and earth. So everything is a possessed slave of Allah: None can depart from this state. “There is none in the heavens and earth, except that it comes to the Most Merciful as a slave” (19:93). So He is The Owner of everything. And He is The One, to whom belongs the attributes of dominion, authority, reign, majesty, and management of universal affairs. Due to His supreme rule and authority, none can intercede with Him, except by His permission. All of the notable and distinguished interceders are slaves belonging to Him. None can proceed with intercession, until He permits them: “Say: To Allah belongs all intercession. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and earth…” (39:44). Allah does not allow anyone to intercede, except the intercession for whom He is pleased with. And Allah is not pleased, except with the one who worships Him alone and follows all of His Messengers. Therefore, whomsoever this does not apply to is not entitled any share of intercession. Then Allah informs us of His unlimited, all-encompassing knowledge. He knows what awaits the creation of infinite future events, as well as “what is behind them”, of unlimited past affairs. No concealed thing is hidden from Him: “He knows that which deceives the eyes and what the hearts conceal” (40:19).
None of the creation can encompass anything of Allah’s knowledge and information, “except for what He wills”, i.e., what He has disclosed to them, by different means, including prescribed and legislative affairs. Yet, this in its entirety, still amounts to nothing, with respect to the know
