Benefits of Surah Ar-Rahman

Benefits of Surah Ar-Rahman

It is commendable to recite this surah after tahajjud salat as many times as there is: FABI-AYYI AALAA-I RABBIKUMA TU KADHDHIBAAN [Then which of the bounties of your Lord will you both believe?]

Say LAA BI SHAY-IN MIN AALAA-IKA RABBEE UKADHDHIBU [None of the bounties of my Lord, I believe.]

Do not miss recitation of this sruah, recite it frequently because on the day of judgement it would take the form of a human being and stand nearest to the almighty Lord and point out, when commanded, those who had recited it in their life of the world. Their faces then would shine bright. Allah would ask them to recommend for salvation whomever they like, then they would go into paradise to dwell wherever they like.

Only the hypocrites are averse to this surah. If after reciting this surah the reciter dies, he dies the death of a martyr. Allah would have pity on a reciter if he is old and weak and bestow bounties on him.

Whoever writes this surah on paper and wears around the neck as a tawiz, Allah would make his difficult tasks easy, and if he is having sore eyes he would be fully cured; he would remain in peace, safety and protection.

If its written text is hanged in the house the dwellers of the house would remain safe from harmful animals.

Benefits of Surah Al-Muzzammil

There are 20 ayaat in this surah and it was revealed in Makkah. Some scholars say that it was revealed in Madinah. It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) that a person who recites this surah will never face bad times. The person who recites it in the Isha or Tahajjud prayers always remains pure of heart and even dies while he is in a pure state.

Who recites this surah properly will get a chance to meet the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and if he prays for something from Allah (s.w.t.) he will get it. Reciting surah al-Muzammil a hundred times on Thursday night leads to the forgiving of a hundred major sins and procures a hundred rewards. Recitation of this surah protects one from insanity and from being a slave to people.

So   take Him Alone as Wakil (Disposer of your affairs). And be patient (O Muhammad SAW) with what they say, and keep away from them in a good   way. And leave Me Alone to deal with the beliers (those who deny My Verses, etc.), and those who are in possession of good things of life. And   give them respite for a little while.

Translation: or a third of the night, and so do a party of those with you, And Allah measures the night and the day.

So recite as much of the Quran as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, and lend to Allah a goodly loan, and whatever good you send before you for yourselves, (i.e. Nawafil non-obligatory acts of worship: prayers, charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), you will certainly find it with Allah, better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
