Throne Verse

Uncommon card · No. 151997

Āyat al-Kursī (Arabic: آيَة ٱلْكُرْسِيّ), also known as the 'Throne Verse', is the 255th verse of the second chapter of the Quran, al-Baqara 2:255. Considered the greatest and one of the most well-known verses of the Quran, it is widely memorised and displayed in the Islamic faith. The word Kursī —of which the ownership is given to Allah and from which this verse derives its name— is equated with Al-Arsh in many interpretations; the other expressions used in the same sentence underscore the impossibility of such a comparison, serving as the clearest statement—one that has become a hallmark of Islamic belief—that no one's power or greatness can be compared to His.
