QUESTION:

So many times we are asked to recite Aytul-Kursi, however I am somewhat
confused as to what the ACTUAL Aytul-Kursi is.  I have been taught to read
the first Ayah (2:255) and then continue to recite the following 2 ayahs
(2:256-257).  However, many of my Sunni friends recite and most of the
caligraphy I see only contains ayah 2:255.  So, what exactly is
Ayatul-Kursi: 2:255 or 2:255-257?


ANSWER:
Ayatul Kursi starts from "Allahu Laa ilaha illa huwal Hayyul Qayyum..." upto
"....khalidun" i.e. 2:255-257.
