Video chanting the melodious chair verse ️
The chair verse is the 255th verse of Surah Al Baqoroh. In a number of hadiths it is stated that the verse of the chair has many virtues and privileges in it.
Arabic text reading the verse of the Chair
Allahu laa ilaaha illaa huwal-hayyul qoyyuum. Laa ta' khudzuhuu sinatuw wa laa na'uum, lahuu maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil-ardh, man dzalladzii yasyfa'u 'indahuu illaa bi-idznih, ya'lamu maa baina aidiihim wa maa kholfahum, wa mina bisyai-ithu ilmihii illaa bimaa syaa'. Wasi'a Kursiyyuhus samaawaati wal-ardh, wa laa ya-uuduhuu hifzhuhumaa wa huwal-'aliyyul-'azhiim.
It means:
"Allah, there is no God (who has the right to be worshiped) but He Who is eternally alive and continuously takes care of (His creatures); no sleep and no sleep. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and in the earth. No one can intercede with Allah without His permission? Allah knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they know nothing of Allah's knowledge except what He wills. Allah's seat covers the heavens and the earth. And Allah does not find it difficult to maintain them, and Allah is Most High, Most Great."
The benefits and virtues of reading the verse of the chair
Sheikh Ali Jaber (Rahimahullah) in one of his studies once said that reading the verse of the chair after prayer can bring a lot of goodness. This is also explained in a hadith, that the Messenger of Allah said that anyone who istiqamah reads the verse of the chair after completing the fardhu prayer, then heaven is the guarantee.
"Man qara-a ayatal-kuryyi dubura kulli prayer maktubah, five yamna'hu min dukhulil-jannati illa an yamuut".
Which means,
"Whoever reads the verse of the chair after every fard prayer, then nothing can prevent him from entering heaven except death,".
By reading just 1 verse of the chair, it is already so beneficial, then how about the magnitude of the benefits if we are istiqomah to read the letter Al Baqarah or other letters. And how else if you read khatam one Koran?
Therefore, Sheikh Ali Jaber also advised that no matter how busy we are, so that we always take the time to read the verse of the chair after the fardhu prayer. As for reading tasbih, tahmid and takbir can be read after.
Tips for Istiqomah dhikr for busy people
Whatever our busyness and activities that make us unable to last long in the place of prayer, so we are in a hurry, then try after the fardhu prayer to istiqomah reading istighfar, allahumma antassalam waminka salam and so on then the verse of the chair. As for other dhikr such as tasbih, tahmid and takbir we can do while walking.
So try not to miss reading the verse of the chair after the fardhu prayer. Because the guarantee is to go to heaven. And nothing can stop him except waiting to die.
Ayat Kursi is also recommended to be read as a practice before we go to sleep and after waking up. Because another benefit of reading the verse of the chair is that we are awake from the interference of jinn and devils.
Moreover, if the verse of the chair is read when you go to sleep, Allah will protect it and will not be approached by the devil," said Ali Jaber.
If our children have fallen asleep but have not had time to read the verse of the chair, then we can read it while rubbing its head and body so that it is always in the protection of Allah, and not approached by the devil.
Al-Mahamily narrates in the book of Fawaid, from Ibn Mas'ud he said: Someone said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me something that Allah will benefit me with, the Messenger of Allah replied, read the verse of the chair, then indeed he will take care of you, guard your descendants and guard your house until the houses around your house."
Wallahu a'lam..
