سورة الإخلاص

SURAH AL IKHLAAS

It is narrated in the tradition that the reward of reciting this sura is equal to recitation of 1/3 of the holy Quran.

Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) has said that if a person recites this verse once, Allah will shower Blessings on him. When the person recites it twice, Allah will Bless his children. If the person recites the verse thrice, Allah will also Bless the person’s friends. Thus, the more a person recites this verse, the more he shall be Blessed by Allah. For reciting the verse a thousand times, the person will get the august status of a martyr.

While the Prophet of Allah (a.s.) was offering the funeral prayer of Saad bin Ma-aaz, he noticed that seventy thousand angels were present at the prayer. He asked Jibraeel the reason for this honor to the dead person. Jibraeel replied that he used to recite Sura e Iqlas frequently.

Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) has said, “ If you desire Allah’s protection from your enemies, recite Sura e Iqlas on your six sides, that is, right, left, up, down , front and back.”

And when you go to confront a superior, recite this verse thrice in front of the person and at every recitation close one finger of you left hand. With Allah’s help you will come out successful!”

Then the Imam (a.s.) said, “ If a person has not recited the Surat al Iqlas for one week, his Reckoning will be along with the accursed abu Lahab”

The Imam (a.s.) further said, “ If one is suffering from an ailment, and doesn’t take help from this verse, then he is a denizen of the Hell.

Also said, “ If your believe in Allah and the Day of Judgement, then after the mandatory prayers don’t forget to recite Sura e Iqlas. Allah will pardon the sins of your forbears and your offspring.

Hazrat Ali (a.s.) has said, “ A person who recites the Sura e Iqlas eleven times after the mandatory morning prayer, the Satan cannot make him commit a sin even if he tempts the person a hundred thousand times.”

Also Ameer al Momineen (a..s.) said,” When a person recites the verse in the night, Allah will depute fifty thousand angels to keep vigil the whole night.”

Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said, “ When a person reads Sura e Iqlas it is like reading a third of the Quran, a third of Torah , Injeel and Zaboor.”

Also the Imam (a.s.) said, “ Allah has subjugated fever to Hazrat Fatima Zehra (a.s.) in lieu of the Garden of Fadak. Therefore if a friend of the Ahl al Bayt recites Sura e Iqlas a thousand times and blows over a person suffering from high fever, the person will recover with Allah’s Help.”

Imam Reza (a.s.) has said, “ If one sits near a sick person, recites Surat al Fateha, Al Iqlas, Qul Aooz berabinnaas, Qul Aoozo berabbil falaq and touches the face of the ailing person, Insha Allah, the sickness will vannish.”
