In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in
the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with
Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that
which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what
He will. His Throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never
weary of preserving them. And He is the Sublime, the
Tremendous.

Lesson
‘Al-Hayyu – (the Alive), it aims
that Allah Almighty is Alive from Eternity to Evermore. Attribute of The Life
is His Personal Quality. Neither; earlier death ever prevailed over Him and nor
ever will it overcome upon Him in future.
‘Al-Qay-yuum- (the Eternal), that
is to say; Such Existence Who is not only Perpetual with His Personal Nature
but He is Cause of others’ perpetuity and establishment also, and has caused to
hold on every creature.
Kursiyyu - (His Throne), it
shouldn’t be taken from the word Kursiyyu that Allah Almighty
(I seek refuge in
ALLAH) has any physical body and the Kursii is His
sitting place. Here Kursiyyu means the Throne, the Knowledge, Sole
Command, and also as Power. That is to say; Allah Almighty’s Knowledge and Sole
Command is Overcoming upon the entire universe.
yashfa-‘u ‘indaHuuu - (he, who may
intercede with Him), intercession means act of pleading /recommendation for any
individual. Such person who intercedes is called Shaafe’ too. This fact
has been repeated many times in Holy Qur’an
that none will be permitted to intercede for any individual without His
permission in the Court of Allah Almighty. And if any person will intercede,
that won’t be against the truth and righteousness. This one sentence has
refuted wrong beliefs of ancient nations.
In this verse,
there is narration about Oneness, Magnificence and Sole Command of Allah
Almighty that He have always been and always will be. He will never die, expire
or be perished. There is none worthy of
worship but only He (God Almighty). He is the Owner of such Virtues that praising any other save
Him is not reasonable. He is Creator, Lord and Master of the entire creatures.
He fulfills desires and necessities of all, and there is no partner of Him in
completion of all these works. He doesn’t need any supporter or partner. He
Alone manages these entire tasks and He is Well-Versed perfectly over them. He
is the Alive. All creatures are living with His Will. He is the
Eternal from always and will remain Eternal always. He keeps others’
established. He never feels fatigue. Despite so vast management of the entire
universe, neither He needs rest, nor does slumber overtake Him and nor sleep.
He remains Watchful and Sensible always.
His circle of
discretion is neither limited nor straitened, but It has circumscribed the
entire universe, earth and skies. All is for Him and He has Mastery and Power
of choice over everything. These all things have been fastened with His Command
and He brings them into motion as He desires.
Having so much
Powerful Mastery in Knowledge, Sole Command and Greatness, none can venture to
intercede before Allah Almighty save by His leave. Every individual is
responsible for own deeds, whether that is a mendicant, worldly person, rich or
poor, elder or younger will find fruit of own acts (good or bad) himself
(reward or punishment). Nobody would be able to share other’s load. However if
Allah Almighty gives permission to someone, then he can request in His Court.
He knows whatever is in any person’s mind. He is Aware of every mankind’s
intentions and wills. He keeps account of goodness and badness of the entire
creatures and it is very easy for Him.
None has power to
acquire some part out of His Knowledge without His permission. But how much
knowledge someone has attained, is result of Allah’s Mercy and Kindness. His Throne
of Knowledge and Sovereignty has besieged the entire universe. Everything large
or small, good or bad, open or hidden is bright before Him. He doesn’t feel
weariness from watching too much vast chain of creatures. This entire
arrangement is very light for Him. He is Pure from any kind of defect. He is
Master of the entire virtues and excellence. There is no limit of His Dignity.
Briefly speaking, the following virtues of God Almighty have been mentioned in
the ‘Aayat-ul-Kursii:
1.
The Alive.
2.
The Eternal.
3.
Neither slumber overtakes Him nor sleep.
4.
Everything is of Him and for Him whatsoever is in the heavens or
in the earth.
5.
Who is he that intercedes with Him save by His leave?
6.
He knows that which is in front of them and that which is behind
them.
7.
They encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will.
8.
His Throne includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never
weary of preserving them.
9.
And He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
