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 is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills.
His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not.
[Al-Baqarah 2: 255]

How to memorize Ayatul kursi?
The first thing you should do is to read Ayatul Kursi tafsir to understand it. There are many methods that you could follow. One of them is to read it many times.
In the beginning, you won’t be able to memorize it but with time you will find yourself reciting it on your own. That is the method I followed to memorize it.
Another method is:
Split the aya into small parts for example starts memorizing the first part:
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting.
When you finish memorizing this part go to the next part:
لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ
Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep.
After you finish memorizing three parts try to recite them from your memory. If you succeeded continue to the fourth part and memorize it then recite all that you have memorized on your own. Keep doing this until you memorize the whole ayatul kursi.
