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.”
