Amazingly beautiful sterling silver Ayatul-Kursi Islamic pendants. The perfect Islamic gift for both the young and old. They bear the well-known “Ayatul-Kursi” (“Verse of the Throne”) inscription. Ayatul-Kursi is a very significant verse from the Qur'an (Al-Baqarah 2:255). Translated, "Ayatul-Kursi" means "The Throne Verse." It speaks about Allah's sovereignty, knowledge, and authority. Ayatul-kursi is memorized by most Muslims. This is due to its profound meaning and the protection it is believed to offer to those who recite it.
The translation of the Ayatul-Kursi verse is: “Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except of that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.”
Ayatul-Kursi pendants are necklaces, lockets, or medallions that have the Ayatul-Kursi inscribed on them. They can be made from various materials such as gold, silver, stainless steel, or even encrusted with jewels. Wearing the Ayatul-Kursi pendant may serve several purposes such as the following:
- A Reminder: Having the Ayatul-Kursi Quranic verse close to one's chest can serve as a reminder of the teachings of Islam and the presence of Allah in one's life.
