Ayatul Kursi Benefits: Ayatul Kursi is the 255th verse of the second chapter of the Quran In ‘Surah Baqarah.’ It is the greatest verse of the whole Quran because it mentions the Power and Sovereignty of Allah SWT.
Ayatul Kursi is an Ayah of Surah Al-Baqarah (verse255). Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said it is the most important Ayah in the Quran. It is one of the four parts of Quran that are attached to Arsh (Allah’s Throne). The significance of the Ayatul-Kursi can be invoked from these sayings of prominent holy personalities. Hazrat Ali (R.A) said, “The Ayahs leader of Quran Kareem is Ayatul Kursi.”

Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “Whoever recites the first 4 ayahs of Surah-e-Baqarah, then Ayatul Kursi and then the last3 ayahs of Surah-e-Baqarah will not be inflicted with any kind of difficulty in his wealth or himself, Shaitaan will not come near him and he will not forget the Quran.”

Hazrat Ibn Masood (RA) said, “Allah the Lofty did not create anything in the skies or on earth, in Jannat or Jahannam, loftier than Ayatul Kursi.” Hazrat Ibn Masood (R.A) also mentioned that no space in the sky or on the earth is loftier than Ayatul Kursi.

QURAN IS A SHIFA
The Quran is a miracle that Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) revealed to His Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and it is a blessing for humanity. The Quran is not only a guidance for mankind but Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) has also made it a means and a cure for physical, spiritual and psychological ailments of all kinds. The Creator has clearly told us that the words of the Quran are a “shifa” (healing) for all; this form of treatment can bring miraculous cure to all forms of ailments, as has been reported from various authentic Islamic sources, including the Sunnah. However, as a part of a Muslim's Aqeedah, doctrine or belief, we must realise that the Quran is a means to the cure and the one who cures is in reality Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) alone. This is the case whether we read the Quran, take a pill for a headache, use acupunture; or undergo an operation, the one who cures you is Allah (سبحانه و تعالى), the means we use are only a tool and we do not put our trust in them, except as a means.

Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) says concerning the Quran:

“O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Quran), and a healing for that which is in your hearts.” [Quran: Surah Yunus 10: Ayah 57)

And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe… [Quran: Surah Al-Israa 17: Ayah 82]

The recitation of the Quran, or even just listening to it, has a calming and soothing effect as the Sakeenah, tranquility, of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) descends upon one: It is related on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه‎), that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: "Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever alleviates the need of a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever shields [or hides the misdeeds of] a Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah will aid His slave so long as he aids his brother. And whoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the Houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that sakeenah (tranquility) descends upon them, and mercy envelops them, and the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. And whoever is slowed down by his actions, will not be hastened forward by his lineage."[Sahih Muslim]

As for other forms of treatment, Islam does not discourage the use of treatments available to us through medical and other sciences. On the contrary, the use of such treatments is encouraged in the teachings of the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) who sought the treatment of illnesses and diseases for himself and urged his followers to do the same. Thus, seeking traditional medical treatment for the cure of diseases is a part of Islam as has been narrated to us from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم):

Usamah ibn Shuraik narrated: “Some Bedouins asked, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم)!, shall we treat (our illness)?’ He said, ‘Yes, O worshippers of Allah! Use remedies. For indeed Allah did not make a disease but made a cure for it, except for one disease.’ They said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم)! What is it?’ He said. ‘Old age.” [At-Tirmidhi Hadith No. 2038, Chapters on Medicine, Jami’, Vol. 4; Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 3855, Book of Medicine, Vol.4].

Abu Hurayrah narrates that The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: “There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its remedy.” [Bukhari 7.582]
