Ayat al-Kursi (after each fard)
Allah (SWT), there is no god but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what lies before them and what is behind them, and they grasp nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Most Great.
Recite after the obligatory prayer, following the count and wording stated in the source.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Quran 2:255; narrated after salah in an-Nasa'i, 'Amal al-Yawm wa'l-Laylah 100 (sahih). No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
Allahu la ilaha illa Huwa, al-Hayyu-l-Qayyum. La ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fi-s-samawati wa ma fi-l-ard. Man dha-lladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi-idhnih. Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum, wa la yuhituna bi-shay'in min 'ilmihi illa bi-ma sha'. Wasi'a kursiyyuhu-s-samawati wa-l-ard, wa la ya'uduhu hifdhuhuma, wa Huwa-l-'Aliyyu-l-'Adheem.
