VIRTUES

Virtues of Surah Zilzaal, Kaafiroon & Ikhlaas

Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas and Anas Ibn Maalik (radiyallahu anhum) reported that Rasulullah ﷺ said, ‘Whoever recites Surah Zilzaal will get the reward of reciting half the Qur-aan. Whoever recites Surah Kaafiroon will get a reward as if reading a quarter of the Qur-an. Whoever recites Surah Ikhlaas will get a reward as if reading one third of the Qur-aan.’ (Tirmizi #2893)

Virtues of Surah Takaasur

Hadhrat Umar (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said, ‘Whoever recited one thousand verses in one night will meet Allah with a smile on his face.’ Someone said, ‘O Rasulullah ﷺ, who can recite a thousand verses?’ Rasulullah ﷺ then recited Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem and Surah Takaasur and then said, ‘By the one in Whose control is my life, it is certainly equal to a thousand verses.’ (Al Muttafaq wal Muftaraq #197)

Virtues of Aayatul Kursi

1. Hadhrat Ali (Radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “I have been given Aayatul Kursi from the treasures under the Arsh. No Nabi before me was given this.” Hadhrat Ali ﷺ says that from the time he heard this from Rasulullah ﷺ he never slept without reciting these verses.
2. Abu Umaamah (Radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “Whosoever recites Aayatul Kursi after every Fardh Salaah, nothing will prevent him from entering Jannah except his death.”
3. Hadhrat Hasan ibn Ali (Radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “Whosoever recites Aayatul Kursi after every fardh salaah will be in the protection of Allah Ta’ala until the next salaah.”
4. Qatadah (Radiyallahu anhu) narrates that whosoever recites Aayatul Kursi when he goes to sleep, two angels are deputed over him that protect him until he wakes up.

Virtues of Aayaat: 22-24 of Surah Hashr

It has been narrated by Hadhrat Ma’qal Ibn Yasaar (radhiyallahu anhu) that Rasulullah ﷺ said that one who recites thrice in the morning:

أَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطٰانِ الرَّجِيْمِ

followed by the last three verses of Surah Hashr once, Allah Ta’ala will appoint over him 70,000 angels who will beg for his forgiveness.

Virtues of Surah Yaaseen

Hadhrat ‘Ata ibn Abi Rabaah (rahimahullah) says that Rasulullah ﷺ said,

“Whoever reads Surah Yaaseen in the beginning of the day, all his needs for that day are completed.” (Sunan Daarimi #3418)

Hadhrat Anas (radiyallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said,

“Everything has a heart, and a heart of the Qur-aan is Surah Yaaseen.” Whoever reads Surah Yaaseen, Allah Ta’ala records for him a reward equal to that of reading the whole Qur-aan ten times. (Tirmizi #2887)

According to another Hadith, Allah Ta’ala recited Surah Yaaseen and Surah Taha 1000 years before the creation of the heavens and the earth. On hearing this, the Angels said:

Blessing is for that Ummat unto whom the Qur-aan will be sent down, blessings is for the hearts which will bear it (memorise it) and blessings for tongues which will recite it.

There is another narration which says:

Whoever reads Surah Yaaseen for the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala only, all his previous sins will be forgiven. Therefore, make a practice of reading this Surah over your dead.

According to another Hadith, Surah Yaaseen is named in the Torah as Mun’mah (giver of good things) because it contains benefits for its readers in this life as well as in the Hereafter, it removes from him the affliction of this world and the next and takes away the dread of the next life. This Surah is also Known as Raafi’ah and Khaafidah (that which exalts the status of the believers and degrades the unbelievers.)

According to a Hadith, Rasulullah ﷺ said:

“My heart desires that Surah Yaaseen should be present in the heart of everyone of my Ummah.”

According to another Hadith, if anybody recites Surah Yaaseen every night and then dies, he dies as a shaheed (martyr). It is reported yet in another Hadith that:

Whoever reads it in hunger, will be satisfied; whoever reads it while having lost his way, will find his way; whoever reads it on losing an animal, will find the same. When one reads it apprehending that his food will run short, that food will become sufficient; and if one reads it besides a person who is in the agonies of death, his agonies will be made easy for him; and if anyone reads it on a woman experiencing difficulty in childbirth, her delivery will become easy.

“If Surah Yaaseen is read by one who fears the ruler or enemy, will have his fears removed.” (Fazaail-e-Qur-aan)

Virt

ue of Surah Mulk

1. Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said, “There is in the Qur-aan a Surah consisting of thirty aayaat which will intercede for its reader until he is forgiven. This is Surah Tabarakallazi.” (Sunan Tirmizi #2891)
2. Ibn Abbas (radiyallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said, “I wish that this surah be in the heart of every believer.” (Shu’abul Imaan #2277)

Virtues of Aayaat: 26 – 27 of Surah Aali Imraan

Rasulullah ﷺ said to Hazrat Mu’aaz (Radiyallahu anhu), ‘Should I not teach you a supplication which, when used to implore Allah Ta’ala, Allah Ta’ala shall pay your debt, even if it is as huge as Mount Uhud? He then mentioned them (i.e. Surah al Imran verse 26 & 27)’ (Tabarani)

Virtues of Aayaat: 284 – 286 of Surah Baqarah

1. Ibn ‘Abbaas (radiyallahu anhuma) says that once Jibreel (alaihis salaam) was sitting by Rasulullah ﷺ when he heard a loud sound above him. So, he raised his head and said, “Today, a door has been opened in the sky which was never opened before, and out of it came down an angel who had never come down before. The angel said to me, “Receive the good news of two anwaar (lights) which have not been given to any Nabi before you. One is Surah Faatihah and the other the last few aayaat of Surah Baqarah. You will never recite any of the duaas (contained within them) except that you will be granted it.” These two Surahs have been called Noor because on the Day of Qiyaamah they will travel in front of their readers (brightening up their path). (Saheeh Muslim #806)
2. Abu Mas’ood Al-Ansaari (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said; “Whosoever reads the last two verses of Surah Baqarah at night, it will suffice him.” (i.e. it will suffice him from all evils or it will suffice him from performing Tahajjud Salaah or it will suffice him from the evils of jinn and shayaateen). [Tirmizi #2881]
3. Hadhrat Abu Zar Ghifaari ((radiyallahu anh) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said, “Allah Ta’ala completed Surah Baqarah with two verses. He gifted these two verses from a treasure beneath His throne. Learn these aayaat and teach them to your women and children. Indeed, these verses are Salaah, Qur-aan and Dua.” (Daarimi #3390)
4. Nu’maan ibn Basheer R.A narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said; “Allah Ta’ala had written a book 2000 years before He created the skies and the earth. He revealed two verses (from that book) which end of Suratul Baqarah. If these two verses are read in a house for three days, shaytaan will not come close to that house. [Tirmizi #2882]

Virtue of Surah Sajdah

1. Hadhrat Jaabir (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ would not sleep until he recited Surah Alif Laam Meem, Sajdah and Surah Tabarakallazi.
2. Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (radiyallahu anhuma) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “One who reads Surah Tabaarak and Surah Alif Laam Meem Sajdah between Maghrib and Esha Salaah, it is as though he stood up in Ibaadah on Laylatul Qadar.”
3. Hadhrat Khalid ibn Ma’daan (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “Surah Alif Laam Tanzeel will fight on behalf of its reciter in the grave saying: ‘O Allah! If it is that I am from your book then accept my intercession on behalf of him; and if it is that I am not from your book then delete me from your book.’ Verily it (this surah) shall be like a bird placing its wings over the reciter and interceding on behalf of him and it will then save him from the punishment in the grave.
