Ayat Al Kursi (2:255)

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, Most Merciful. Allah! There is no God but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting. Neither slumber nor sleep can seize Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who will intercede with Him except by His Leave? He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them, While they encompass nothing of His Knowledge, except what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, And He is never weary of preserving them. And He is the Sublime, the Supreme.

The main theme of this passage, which we know as the verse of the Throne, is the oneness of Allah, or tawhid Allah is a being unlike any other beings because he knows everything and can do everything Also He has neither parents nor children Similarly Surah Ikhlas also states that He cannot be compared to anyone or anything His throne signifies His absolute power over all as well as His absolute knowledge of everything.

The Presentation of the Theme

This passage marks out the differences between Allah and His Creation It teaches us that Allah has no human weakness and limitations, such as sleep, limited knowledge and tiredness Allah never tires or sleeps, and His knowledge covers everything Even mans knowledge is only that which Allah grants Others Quranic verses similarly declare that He know the most concealed secrets Moreover, His throne which means kingdom is over all the heavens and the earth He doesnt require any help or rest which proves His limitless power Thus this passage teaches the lowly position of humans before their Creator.
