This created a curiosity in me enough to try the chant.A study made by Hindu scholars of the chant of Aayat-Al-Kursi revealed that – the sound vibrations emanating from this chant matched the sound vibrations that emanate when Hindus chant their Maha-Mrutyunjaya-Stotram – indicating that these are 2 chants that are on the same `wavelength’ of `sound notes’ that travel upwards (towards God) when we pray.You will now be under the protection of The Throne of God Almighty. Chanting this prayer is equivalent to tying a protective amulet around you.This is The Throne that belongs to Almighty God or Allah, as fondly refered to by Muslims.Aayat-Al-Kursi means: Aayat (amulet / taveez), Al (The), Kursi (Chair / Throne).What I found all the more interesting about it – was its connection, as explained by scholars, to Hinduism’s Maha-Mrutyunjaya-Stotram. It interested me enough to research about it. Obviously the girl had no knowledge of any burly surly looking wrestlers who would have escorted her safely home – but she did attribute the vision to her chant of Aayat-Al-Kursi, as she crossed the lane. The question was: who were those 4 burly surly looking wrestlers who accompanied your daughter home from classes the other day, and apparently walked her through the lane till she reached the end of it? An aunt from the same colony visited her, to ask her mom a question. She couldn’t quite understand what stopped these boys from their usual behavior – until few days later. On entering the lane she realized that a group of boys (about 10 in number) were somewhere in the mid of the deserted lane unable to turn back and equally fearful of walking ahead, she started on her chant of Aayat-Al-Kursi as she made her way ahead in the lane while passing by them she realized from the corner of her eye that they had all lowered their heads, frozen in their stance, and absolutely silent the girl quickly crossed the lane and made her safe way home. Passing through that lane often involved being subject to leering, jeering et al, and that was the case even if you were in a large group of girls, so being absolutely alone would send some different jitters down your spine. I first heard about Aayat-Al-Kursi via a blog site of young Muslim girl – where she had written that walking home from classes one day, late evening, she had to walk through a deserted lane which used to be a favorite hang-out for local colony boys.
