Verse 255 is known as Aayat-ul-Kursi, which deals with the attributes of Allah SWT completely, and in this article, we will share Ayatul kursi in English and its benefits to perform.

The Holy Prophet ﷺ has said that Aayat-ul-Kursi is the loftiest verse of the Holy Quran (ibn Kaseer with reference to Muslims and Ahmad).

As reported by Hazrat Abu Hurairah, the Holy Prophet ﷺ has said that in the Surahtul Baqarah, there is one verse (i.e., Aayat-ul-Kursi), which is the chief of the verse of the Holy Quran.

When it is recited in any house, Satan flees away from it. (Sahih Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 61, Number 530)

Similarly, Nisai has reported that the Holy Prophet ﷺ has said that any-body who recites Aayat-ul-Kursi after each compulsory prayer, nothing except death can detain him from entering Paradise (The Book of Deeds for Day and Night, The Reward of Whoever Recites Ayat al-Kursi After Every Prayer, Vol. 9, Page: 44, No. 9848, Published by: Al-Resalah Foundation, Beirut)

In other words, it means that after death, he is forthwith granted the blessings of Paradise.

Allah: the Everlasting, the Sustainer of the whole Universe; there is no god but He. He does neither slumber nor sleep.

Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His own permission.?

He knows what is before the people and also what is hidden from them.

And they cannot comprehend anything of His knowledge save whatever He Himself pleases to reveal. His Kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth and the guarding of these does not weary Him. He alone is the Supreme and the Exalted.
