The title given to Surah Al-Baqarahs 255th ayat by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is “Ayat Al-Kursi” which would mean: “The verse (sign) of (Allah)’s Dominion”.
In this lively lecture of Tafsir Ayat Al-Kursi, it is divided into 10 segments. Its give more explanations for every segments.
Literally Kursi means the “Footstool” but literal meaning cannot apply here therefore metaphorical meaning has to be taken into account as this magnificent verse explains Allah’s Existence, Sovereignty, Power, Knowledge rather the Dominion of Allah azza Wajjal.
Ayat Al-Kursi explains that Allah is Ever-Living, Self-Subsisting and Self-Sustaining. As such, He is eternally awake and alert otherwise the Universe will cease to exist.
Allah does not suffer from boredom as He takes great interest in His creation. Nor does He grow tired because His existence is not subject to change.
He is the First Cause of everything and possesses infinite power. He owns everything and is the Master of the Day of Judgment. As such, we should worship Allah and seek His assistance in all affairs.
He is the Source of all knowledge. Pondering over the meaning of Ayat Al-Kursi opens subtle secrets and knowledge of the Universe in our hearts, which is imperative in a time when the forces of atheism are stronger than ever.
