اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ ٢٥٥

MP3Ayatul Kursi MP3 in 320kbps
Two recordings here are true 320kbps files: Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, and a longer studio recording of Abdul Basit Abdus Samad. Download them directly:
A bigger number is not always a better sound. An MP3 can only be as clear as the recording it was made from, and a voice on its own needs far less data than music. At 128kbps Ayatul Kursi already sounds clean on a phone speaker; 192 to 320kbps is worth it on good headphones, in the car or on a speaker at home.
We list the real bitrate of every file instead of calling everything 320kbps, so you can pick the quality you want.

Ayatul Kursi and 4 Qul audio
Ayatul Kursi followed by Al-Kafirun, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas, each with its Bismillah, in one MP3 you can play or download. Many families play this set before sleep.
Ayatul Kursi + 4 QulTap play to startRecited by Mishary Rashid Alafasy · 3:17
The Prophet ﷺ taught reciting Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas three times in the morning and evening (Abu Dawud 5082), and Ayatul Kursi before sleep (Sahih al-Bukhari 2311). Listen to learn them, then recite them yourself.
Ayatul Kursi 100 times, 313 times or non-stop
Tap the repeat button in the player at the top and Ayatul Kursi plays non-stop with any reciter. To count the repetitions, 100, 313, 786 or 1,000 times, use the repeat player: it keeps count and shows how long it will take.
There is no authentic hadith that promises a special reward for reading Ayatul Kursi a set number of times. Listening again and again is still one of the best ways to memorise it.
Which reciter should you choose?
There is no wrong choice: every reciter here reads the same words of Allah. It depends on what you want from it today.

Questions about Ayatul Kursi audio
Is the Ayatul Kursi MP3 free to download?
Yes. Every recording here is free to stream and to save for personal listening, with no signup.
Is there an Ayatul Kursi MP3 in 320kbps?
Yes: Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais and the longer studio recording of Abdul Basit Abdus Samad are 320kbps files. Every other card shows its real quality, so you know what you are downloading. For a single voice, 128kbps already sounds clear on a phone; 192 to 320kbps is worth it on good headphones or speakers.
Which reciter is best for learning Ayatul Kursi?
Start with Al-Husary at teaching pace: he reads slowly and pronounces every letter clearly. When you know the words, move to a steady murattal recitation such as Mishary Alafasy or Al-Minshawi, and use the reader on our Ayatul Kursi page to repeat one line at a time.
How long is Ayatul Kursi audio?
It depends on the reciter. The fastest here takes about 37 seconds (Saud Al-Shuraim), most murattal recitations take 45 to 60 seconds, and the mujawwad versions take about two minutes.
Can I listen to Ayatul Kursi 100 or 1000 times non-stop?
Yes. Tap the repeat button in the player above and it plays without stopping, or use the repeat player to count 100, 313, 786 or 1,000 times. No authentic hadith gives a reward for a particular number; repeating it is still a good way to memorise it.
Is Ayatul Kursi a surah or a dua?
Neither, strictly: it is one verse (ayah 255) of Surah Al-Baqarah. People often call it a surah because it is long, or a dua because it is read for protection, but it is a verse of the Quran that praises Allah.
Is listening to Ayatul Kursi the same as reciting it?
Listening to the Quran with attention is an act of worship in itself (Quran 7:204). The specific rewards in the hadith, though, such as protection through the night (Sahih al-Bukhari 2311) and after each obligatory prayer, are for reciting it yourself. Use the audio to learn it and get the pronunciation right, then recite it in your own voice.
Can I play Ayatul Kursi at home for protection?
Playing it is a good thing to fill your home with, but no authentic hadith says a recording protects a house. The protection described in the Sunnah comes from reciting it, for example before you sleep.
Can I download Ayatul Kursi and the 4 Qul as one MP3?
Yes. In the 4 Qul section, choose a reciter and tap Download as one MP3. You get Ayatul Kursi, Al-Kafirun, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas in a single file, each surah with its Bismillah.
What are the 4 Qul?
The four short surahs that begin with the word Qul (“Say”): Al-Kafirun, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas. Many families recite them with Ayatul Kursi before sleep. The Prophet ﷺ taught reciting Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas three times in the morning and evening (Abu Dawud 5082).
Can I use these recordings in my video?
For personal listening they are free. A recording belongs to the reciter or the studio that made it, so before you use one in a video, especially a monetised one, check the terms on the reciter’s official channel or the studio that published it.
What is the difference between murattal and mujawwad?
Murattal is a measured, steady recitation, the style you hear in prayer. Mujawwad is slower and more melodic, with longer elongations, and is the style of Egyptian Quran recitals. Both follow the rules of tajweed.
What is the Warsh recitation?
Warsh, from Imam Nafi’, is one of the authentic ways the Quran has been passed down, and is common in North and West Africa. Most recordings here follow Hafs, from Imam Asim. In Ayatul Kursi the differences are small details of pronunciation.
The download opened a new tab instead. What do I do?
Some browsers open the MP3 instead of saving it. In that tab, press and hold the player (on a phone) or right-click it (on a computer) and choose to save or download the audio.
Edited by Zakir Mohammed
Each card shows the recording’s real length and file quality, so you know what you are downloading. All Arabic recordings are in the Hafs reading, except the two marked Warsh.
