I caught him and told him that I would take him to ALLAH’s Messenger ﷺ.” Then Abu Huraira told the whole narration and added “He (i.e. the thief) said, ‘Whenever you go to your bed, recite the Verse of “Al-Kursi” (2.255) for then a guardian from ALLAH will be guarding you, and Satan will not approach you till dawn.’ ” On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He told you the truth, though he is a liar, and he (the thief) himself was the Satan.”

4 – Benefits of Reciting Ayatul Kursi in the Morning
When we start our day by scrolling through social media feeds and posting our morning routine, we should not hope to get a nice and fresh start to the day.
Why? Because our days should be started with the name of Allah SWT. But today, we are so caught up in our life that when we wake up, worries and stress mingle in our minds, making us forget to thank Allah for another day. We don’t want to pray fajr salah and recite duas as we just spring out of bed and get busy with the chores of this work.
Will all of this help us when we leave this temporary abode? We should freeze for a moment and ask ourselves this question.
We should start our day by thanking Allah for letting us live another day and offering morning prayers. It is advised to recite Ayatul Kursi to keep ourselves protected against odd circumstances and unforeseen events. It keeps us away from any harm that may come us in any form.

Similarly, when our children leave the house, we get anxious upon having them go out of our sight. We make countless phone calls to make sure they are doing well and reach their destination safely.
But, when we have the Kalaam and word of Allah, we should not worry about the safety of our wealth, children and home. Ayatul Kursi is the most powerful verse that builds a shield around them and protects them with the will of Allah SWT. No harm can be done under its protection until Allah SWT wills it.
We must make it a habit of reciting it when leaving the house and blow it on our children regularly.

It is mentioned in a Hadith that learning Ayatul Kursi is acquiring the Greatest Knowledge as it is the greatest verse of the Quran. Because it mentions the beautiful truth of Allah’s supremacy and Omnipotence in the most Majestic way. We should always cherish it and adorn ourselves with this beautiful jewel.
