Benefits of reciting surah Ikhlaas

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 vanish.”

your wife and recite the verse every night.” When the person adopted this practice, his

wife became pregnant and he was blessed with seven sons thereafter.

The Imam (a.s.) also said, “ One who recites the verse Inna anzalna in the prayers instead

What is Islam?

Aban ibn Abi Ayyash has narrated from Sulaym  ibn Qays al Hilali:

 A person came to Imam Ali (AS) and asked a question concerning Islam, So Imam  Ali(a.s) said: “Allah (s.u.b.t) sent Islam and made its  Laws easy for those who accepted Islam and made its pillars strong against those who bear enmity towards it, and for those who befriend Islam, He made Islam their dignity and for those who accept it, Islam s peace and it is guide for the followers, it is decoration. For those who associate themselves to Islam it is beneficial for them. For those who want to safeguard themselves from with it, it is a strong rope and for those who accept, it is a cord. Those who acquire its knowledge it is an argument and those who want to enlighten with it, it is a light. Those who want to overpower an enemy with it, it is a witness. Those who make it a judge, it is a success for them and those who remember it, for them it is knowledge. Those who narrate it, it is Hadith  for them. Those who want a decision through it, it is command, and it is patience for those who want experience through it. To those who think through it, it is intelligence and is the cure. It is understanding for those who work with intelligence, and for those who act with understanding it is surety.For those who work with determination it is understanding with heart. For those who make it a mark it is a sign. Those who want advice from it, it is a lesson. For the honest one, it is success. It is love for those who put themselves right. For those who are near it, it is a source of nearness; for those who depend on it, it is trust; those who leave all their tasks on it, it is hope. For the one who has faith it is a cave and for the one who bows his head, it is shelter. For the honest one it is pleasure. For the pious one it is advice, and for the successful ones it is success.It is truth, its way is guidance, its attributes is goodness, and its effect is greatness. From all the ways it is brightest and from all minarets it is most enlightened. Its light is very bright and its end is very high. Its ground is very easy; it is a center of goodness. Everyone wants to go forward with it.And its punishment is painful, its blessing is very old, and the useful things are from ever before. Its riders are reputable, its way is faith, and its good deeds are its minaret. Understanding is its light - death is its end, this world is its ground, the day of resurrection is its result. Heaven is its present, Hell is its punishment (chastisement). Piety is its luggage and the good doer is its rider.

  Good deeds are understood through faith, and through them understanding becomes inhibited and through understanding is fear of death, and this world reaches its end through death, and Duniya(amal) will pass on the day of judgment and the day of judgment brings nearer to Heaven and Heaven is the longing for the Hell dwellers and Hell is exhortation for the pious ones. Piety is a branch of faith.And this is Islam.”
