Ibn Taimiyah said in the chapters: a) To believe in the Kursi b) To believe in the ‘Arsh (Throne) Indeed Allah, the Creator of both the Kursi & the ’Arsh, is the Most Great. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “The Kursi compared to the ‘Arsh is nothing but like a ring thrown out upon open space of desert.” If the Kursi extends over the entire universe, then how much greater is the ‘Arsh.
The Kursi mentioned in this Verse should be distinguished from the ‘Arsh (Throne) mentioned in V.7:54, 10:3, 85:15 and elsewhere.
Kursi – literally a footstool or chair, and sometimes wrongly translated as Throne. May I also please ask if anyone can verify the following explanation given with the Ayat, in the copy of the Qur’an I posses: His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what will happen to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. I would be most grateful if some of you are able to offer me some alternative translations of Ayat-ul-Kursi, as I currently only have one translation (by Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali) at hand, & it goes as follows:Īllah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains & protects all that exists).
