The Symmetry in Ayat ul Kursi

Allah's revelation is a spoken word message that has a deeper impact when it's heard, instead of read. Ayat ul Kursi is an exceptional verse which can be broken down into shorter messages - the first reflects the last, the second reflects the second-to-last, and so on. 

This work is not whimsy, it is compiled from tafseer and talks on the language of Qur'an. Ustad Nouman Ali Khan also discusses this verse in a YouTube video.  

(1) Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.

(2) Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. 

(3) To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. 

(4) Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? 

(5) He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,

(6) And they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. 

(7) His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, 

(8) And their preservation tires Him not. 

(9) And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Qur'an, 2:55)
