Surah al-Baqarah verse 255 (chapter: The cow) in holy Qur’an is called Ayatul Kursi:
TRANSLATION: “Allah! is besides whom there is no ALLAH, the Ever living, the self-subsisting by whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by his permission?
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great.”
