Ayat al-Kursi, the 255th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2) of the Qur'an, is known as "The Throne Verse." It describes God's supreme knowledge, power, and care over all creation, affirming that nothing in the heavens or on earth is hidden from His awareness. Muslims have recited this verse for over fourteen centuries as a prayer for protection and spiritual security. Its profound affirmation of divine omniscience makes it central to Islamic devotional practice, and it is often memorized and recited during times of anxiety or before sleep, believed to provide spiritual safeguarding and peace.

Pattern description
Ayat al-Kursi, Islam's most revered protection verse, appears here in elegant Arabic calligraphy rendered in a cool, deep emerald palette stitched on even-weave linen. This 191×191 stitch count design employs just four DMC thread colors to achieve striking contrast and visual clarity, making each letter distinct despite the intricate needlework required. The advanced-level pattern rewards experienced stitchers with a meditative, line-by-line journey through one of the Qur'an's most memorized passages, where precision in stitch placement directly translates to legibility of the sacred text.
The stitched lettering reads: السَّلاتُ إِلَىٰ فُوقِ النُّورِ تَصْعَدُ
تَأْخُذُ بِسَتِرَةٍ وَلَا تَرُوحُ مَعَ
التَّوَبَةُ بِاغْتِرَافِ الأُخْرَىٰ الَّتِي
شَفِيعَ عَبْدِهِ لَا يَدْخُلُ يَعْصِمُ بِه
يَتِيمِ وَمَا خَلَيْمِ وَلَا مَجْهُودَ
رَوْضَةٌ قَطِيعَهُ وَلَا يَشَاءُ الْحَيَّ
خَرِيبَةُ الشَّمَّـــسِ وَلَا أَنُوسِ وَلَا بُودَّه
حِفْظُهَا وَفِي الْعُلَىٰ الْقَيِّمَةُ [٢٦٥] (Ayat al-Kursi — The Throne Verse, Quran 2:255).
