There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory)."Brought to you by Bihar Anjuman (www.biharanjuman.org) and its registered National Non Government Organization (NGO) in India, RAHBAR (www.myrahbar.org).

(Sahih Bukhari: Book #54, Hadith #495), (Sahih Bukhari: Book #38, Hadith #505t), (Sahih Bukhari: Book #61, Hadith #530)Ubayy b. Ka'b said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O abu' al-mundhir, do you know the verse from the Book of Allah which, according to you, is the greatest? I said: Allah and His Apostle (may peace be upon him) know best. He again said: abu'l-mundhir, do you know the verse from the Book of Allah which, according to you, is the greatest? I said: Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. Thereupon he struck me on my breast and said: May knowledge be pleasant for you, O abu'l-mundhir! (Sahih Muslim: Book #004, Hadith #1768)It was narrated that Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (radiAllahu anhu) said: The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi immediately after each prescribed Prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death." [an-Nasa'i, Ibn Hibban, ibn Sunni, at-Tabarani, ibn Hibban - Sahih]It is reported by at-Tabarani that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "The one who recites Ayat al-kursi after the conclusion of an obligatory prayer, he is under the care of Allah until the next prayer commences."[at-Tabaraani's At Targheeb wat-Tarheeb (2:435)]
