FIRST REMINDER. Yaum As-sabt, 8th day of Zul-Qa'âdah (Saturday, 21st July). THE GREATNESS OF AAYATUL KURSY. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Reading the Holy Quran is a great way to overcome turmoil, anxiety and distress, and to relieve us. There is one particular Aayah that Prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam spoke of, that is said to give its reader great benefits in this life and the afterlife and that's Aayatul Kursi (Surat Al-Baqarah 2:255), also known as the Verse of the Throne. The narrations (hadith) that speak of the virtues, and benefits, of Aayatul Kursi are numerous. Narrated Abu Huraira: Prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam ordered me to guard the Zakat revenue of Ramadan. Then somebody came to me and started stealing of the foodstuff. I caught him and said, “I will take you to Allah’s Apostle!” Then Abu Hurairah described the whole narration and said: That person said (to me), “Please don’t take me to Allah’s Apostle and I will tell you a few words by which ALLAH will benefit you. When you go to your bed, recite Aayatul Kursi, (2.255) for then there will be a guard from ALLAH who will protect you all night long, and Satan will not be able to come near you till dawn.” When the Prophet heard the story he said (to me), “He (who came to you at night) told you the truth although he is a liar; and it was Satan.” Sahih Al-Bukhari – Book 61 Hadith 530. AlhamdulilLah. Even Satan knows the greatness of this verse and fears it but today we don't use it to benefit us as we just recite it without studying it's deep meaning. Let's find time to study the Qur'an as it's the key to success spiritually, economically, socially, financially you name it. Learning to recite it properly and understand it MUST be a priority in our if indeed we want to succeed in life. To be continued in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH grant us the benefits of the Qur’an. Aameen.
