Virtues of Certain Surahs - 2
Hafiz Aziz
Every word revealed in the holy Quran is important to read in order to purify our souls and strengthen our faiths. Indeed this great revelation has many depths and mysteries that have yet to be discovered. Those who frequently read Quran can attest to the fact that it is an unending source of information and a bottomless well of knowledge and guidance. It should be noted, that aside from the benefits of guidance towards divine truth, some verses and chapters of the holy Quran also have hidden benefits.
Surah al-Baqarah (#2): Prophet PBUH said, “Whoever recites the first four verses of surah al-Baqarah accompanied by the ‘Ayatul-Kursi’ together with the last three verses of surah al-Baqarah and makes a habit of reciting these verses daily, his life, property and family will be protected and no evil shall come upon them; Shaitan will not come close to him and he will not be from those who forget Allah SWT”.
Prophet PBUH said, “Do not make your home a graveyard, Shaitan runs from the home in which Surah Baqrah is recited [Muslim].
Prophet PBUH said, "He who recites the two Ayat at the end of Surat al-Baqarah at night they will suffice him" [Bukhari].
Surah al-Kahaf (#18): Whoever recites this Surah on Friday (from sunset of Thursday till sunset of Friday), there will be a Nur brightened for him between the two Fridays. In some other narrations it is mentioned that the reciter’s sins between two Fridays will be forgiven.
Surah Yaseen (#36): Prophet PBUH said, “Everything has a heart and the heart of the Quran is Surah Yaseen, whoever read this Surah Allah SWT will write the reward of reading the whole Quran ten times from him\her” [Tirmidhi]. - Prophet PBUH said, “Recite Yaseen over the deceased person” [Abu Dawood].
Surah ad-Dukhan (#44): It is narrated that if this surah is recited at night then seventy thousand angels pray to Allah SWT to forgive the sins of the reciter.
Surah al-Mulk (#67): Prophet PBUH said, “Whoever reads this Surah every night, Allah SWT will protect him from the torment of the grave”. - In a different narration it is mentioned, “A surah from the Quran containing thirty verses will intercede for a man so that he will be forgiven. It is the Surah Mulk” [Tirmidhi]. Prophet PBUH never used to sleep until he had recited this Surah.
أَقُول قَوْلِي هَذَا ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ لِيَ وَلَكُمْ ولِسَائِر الْمُسْلِمِي ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوه ، إِنَهُ هُوَ الْغَفُور الرّحِيمُ.
Please sit down for a moment
بِسْمِ اللّهِ ، والْحَمْدُ ِلّهِ ، والصّلَاةُ والسّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللّهِ ، صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَم
The importance of reciting and contemplating on every verse of the Holy Quran cannot be stressed enough. We pray to Allah SWT to make our hearts attached to the Holy Quran and enable us to understand its teachings and guidance and enlist us from those who always recite it – Ameen.
عِبَادَ اللّهِ ، إنّ اللّهَ يَأْمُر بِالْعَدْلِ والْإِحْسَانِ وإيْتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى ويَنْهَى عَنِ الفَحْشَاءِ والْمُنْكَرِ والْبَغِي ، يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلّكُمْ تَذَكّرُونَ . اُذْكُرُوا الَ الْعَظِيمَ يَذْكُرْكُمْ واشْكُروهُ يَزِدْكُمْ واسْتَغْفِرُوه يَغْفِرْ لكُمْ واتّقُوهُ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ مَخْرَجًا. وَأَقِم الصّلَاة
إنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ ، وَنَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا ، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِىَ لَهُ،وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ
اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ
مُسْلِمُونَ
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُو اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلاً سَدِيدًا * يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا
اما بعد:
إنَّ أَصْدَقَ اْلحَدْيثِ كِتَابُ اللّهِ وَأَحْسَنَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرُّ الْأُمُوْرِ مُحدَثَاتُها وَكُلُّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وكُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ وكُلُّ ضَلَالَةٍ فِي النَّار
