Ayatul Kursi - Verse of the Throne

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Allahu la ilaha illa huwal-hayyul-qayyum. La ta'khudhuhoo sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. Man dhal-ladhi yashfa'u indahu illa bi-idhnih. Ya'lamu ma bayna aydeehim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuheetuna bi shay-im min ilmihi illa bima shaa. Wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard. Wa la ya-ooduhoo hifdhuhuma wa huwal-aliyyul-adheem.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Say: He is Allah, the One... Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak... Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.

Finding and understanding a daily dua

Where can I find daily duas with English meanings?

Browse the dua collection or search for an occasion such as sleeping, eating or travelling. Open an entry to see its available Arabic text, transliteration, English meaning and source reference.

How do I check the source of a dua?

Look for the reference on the individual entry and check it in the named source. A missing reference should be reported through the contact form. A reference alone is not a claim that United Islam has independently authenticated every entry.

Are transliteration and translation the same?

No. Transliteration helps you follow the sound of Arabic in Latin letters. Translation helps you understand the meaning in English. Read the labels on each entry so you can distinguish the two.
