Meaning
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all 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 lies before them and what is behind them, and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
When to recite
Recite Ayat al-Kursi once after every obligatory prayer; it is also recommended before sleep and within the morning and evening azkar for the protection it brings.
