Evidence and guidance
In Sahih Muslim 810, the Prophet ﷺ affirmed Ubayy ibn Ka`b when he identified Ayat al-Kursi (2:255) as the greatest verse in Allah's Book. The verse is a magnificent statement of tawhid: Allah alone deserves worship; He is Al-Hayy and Al-Qayyum; neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him; His knowledge and authority encompass creation.
How to apply it
We affirm what Allah affirmed about Himself without distortion, denial, asking how, or likening Him to creation. Memorize the ayah by meaning blocks and avoid adding invented stories, numerology or unsupported promises.
