MERITS OF RECITING- VARIOUS SURAHS OF THE HOLY QURAN- CONTINUED PART III

al-Nisaa

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) is quoted as saying that one who recites it will be regarded by the Almighty as though he were charitable to all orphans, and he will be granted rewards due to one who emancipates a person who dissociates himself from shirk and who, by the will of Allah, is forgiven." Imam Ali (as) is quoted saying that whoever recites it every Friday will be secure from the constriction of the grave.

 

al-Nur

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, is quoted as saying that whoever recites it will be granted ten rewards for the number of all those who believed in the past as well as those who will in the future believe. Abu Abdullah Imam al-Sadiq (as) has also said, "Fortify your wealth, your honor, and your women with it."

 

al-Qasas

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has said that Allah will grant anyone who recites this Chapter ten good deeds for each and every believer and disbeliever in Moses (as).

al-Ra'd

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) is quoted as saying that one who recites this chapter will be rewarded with rewards as many as the clouds that passed away as well as those that will pass till the Day of Judgment, and he will be on the Day of Judgment among those who fulfilled their covenant with Allah. Imam Ja'fer al-Sadiq (as) is also quoted as saying that one who recites this chapter quite often will never be hit by lightning and will be admitted into Paradise without reckoning, and he will be granted the right to intercede on behalf of all those of his family and brethren whom he knows.

 

al-Rum

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) is quoted as saying that one who recites Surat al-Rum will receive ten good deeds for each angel praising Allah between the earth and the heavens, and he will have compensated for whatever he missed during his day and night, adding, according to al-Kaf'ami, "I do not make any exception for it, nor do I fear (for having said so) that I am committing a sin (for making such a statement), and these Suras enjoy a special favor with Allah; I mean Surat al-'Ankabut and Surat al-Rum."

 

 al-Saffat

Ahmed ibn Idris quotes al-Ash'ari who quotes Muhammad ibn Hassan quoting Ibn Mahran quoting al-Bataini quoting Ibn al-'Alaa quoting Imam Ja'fer al-Sadiq (as) as saying that whoever recites it on a Friday will be protected from all worldly evils, sustained in the life of this world with the most generous portion of sustenance, and Allah will not let his wealth, or offspring, or body be affected by the mischief of any accursed Satan. Furthermore if he dies that day or night, he will die as a martyr and will be admitted intoParadise in the company of the martyrs and in their level of Paradise. He (as), as stated on p. 419 of al-Tibrisi's Makanm al-Akhlaq, is quoted as saying that this Chapter is recited by those who seek dignity in the life of this world and the life to come. The same is stated on p. 296, Vol. 89, of al-Majlisi's Bihar al-Anwar. Truly lucky are those blessed with reciting this glorious Chapter of the Holy Qur'an on a continuous basis for they will be honored in this life and the life to come. May Allah Ta'ala make us among them, Allahomma Aameen.
