Ayatul Kursi, the Throne Verse, is verse 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah. It is one of the most loved verses in the Quran, and Ayatul Kursi wall art is one of the most popular pieces of Islamic decor for Muslim homes. This guide explains what the verse is about, where to hang it, and how to choose the right size and material.
What is Ayatul Kursi?
Ayatul Kursi is verse 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah, the second and longest chapter of the Quran. It describes Allah's greatness: that He is the Ever-Living, that nothing escapes His knowledge, and that His Kursi (Throne or Footstool) extends over the heavens and the earth. Because of its meaning, many families display it where they will see it every day, as a reminder of Allah's protection and care.
Where should I hang Ayatul Kursi wall art?
- Entrance or foyer. The most popular choice. It is the first thing you and your guests see when you come home.
- Living room. Above the sofa or a console table, as the main feature of the room.
- Prayer room. A calm, smaller piece at eye level.
- Office or shop. Behind a desk or reception counter.
Whatever room you choose, hang Quranic calligraphy respectfully: at or above eye level, never in a bathroom, and not near the floor.
What size Ayatul Kursi wall art do I need?
Measure the wall, or the furniture under it. A simple rule is to choose a piece about two-thirds the width of the sofa or table below it.
| Where | Suggested width |
|---|---|
| Prayer corner, bedroom, small wall | 35–60 cm |
| Entrance or foyer | 45–90 cm |
| Above a three-seater sofa | 110–135 cm |
Our Ayatul Kursi collection covers sizes from about 35 × 45 cm up to 135 × 75 cm. If you need something in between, we can make a custom size. See our full size guide.
Which material is best for Ayatul Kursi?
- Metal (powder-coated GI): bold black or gold cut-out letters. The wall colour shows through, which makes the text stand out on light walls.
- Stainless steel: a glossy finish that catches the light, for statement walls.
- Wood: warm and traditional, and well suited to large pieces for living rooms.
- Acrylic: mirror gold and layered designs for modern interiors.
