Rewards of Reciting the Qur'anic Surahs

Do you see any mistakes in this article  , please inform me

The benefits and recompense the Almighty Lord
bestows on the reciters of the Quranic surahs
have been taken on the authority of the Holy
Prophet, Imam Ali ibn abi Talib, Imam Jafar al
Sadiq and other Imams of Ahl ul Bayt by Ibn
Babwayh, Kulayni, Ayashi, Baqir Majlasi, Ali bin
Ibrahim et al. WHEREVER HE, HIM, HIS, OR MAN
APPEARS READ AS HE/SHE, HIM/HER HIS/HER,
MAN/WOMAN
The verse of "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim"
If we were to give an exhaustive account of the
benefits of the recitation of “Bismillah…” we would
need more than a single volume to do justice to
it. Apart from being part of every chapter in the
Holy Qur’an (except the chapter of repentance
[surah at-tawba]), it is also the most oft
repeated verse in the Holy Qur’an.
It is narrated in Tafseere Burhaan that the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.) has said that when a person
recites “Bismillah...” then five thousand ruby
palaces are built for him in Jannah Each palace
has a thousand chambers made of pearls and in
each chamber has seventy thousand thrones of
emerald and each throne has seventy thousand
carpets made from special fabrics and upon each
carpet is seated a Hur-ul-Ein. A person asked for
the condition necessary to get this great reward
and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) replied that the
person should recite the “Bismillah…” with
conviction and understanding.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has also said that
when a believer will have to cross the Pul-e-
Siraat on the Day of Judgement, and he will say
“Bismillah…” then the flames beneath him will
start dying down until Jahannam will cry out, ‘O
believer, pass through quickly, your presence is
causing my fire to die out !’
It is also mentioned that recitation of
“Bismillah…” with a loud voice is from the signs of
a true believer. Imam Ali Ridha (a.s.) said that
“Bismillah…” is very close to the chosen name of
Allah (s.w.t.) [Isma A’adham].
SURAH AL FATIHAH (1)
As its first verse is nearer to ismi azam (the great
name of Allah) than the white from the pupil of
the eye; there is praise of Allah in the beginning,
tawhid (oneness) in the middle and prayer in the
end; no salat is valid without its recitation; it is
superior than all the treasures stored in the arsh,
(Shaytan runs away whenever it is recited;
therefore:
recite 70 times to remove pains and ailments;
recite 7 times or seventy times keeping the mouth
near the forehead and putting the right hand on
the forehead of the sick person, then surely
recovery is guaranteed; recite bismillahir rahmanir
rahim to stay away from the burning fire of hell;
recite bismillahir rahmanir rahim to receive the
recompense of four thousand virtues for its every
letter, to cancell the punishment of four thousand
transgressions and to occupy a position four
thousand degrees higher than what you deserve;
while crossing the pul sirat (bridge to paradise)
whoever recites bismillahir rahmanir rahim would
hear a voice from the flames of the fire, saying:
“O believer, your light has put off my heat.” when
a teacher teaches bismillahir rahmanir rahim to a
child the merciful Allah grants amnesty from
punishment to the teacher and parents if they
have sinned. recite surah al Fatihah to cure any
disease save the deadly disease which is the
cause of the inevitable death.
AL BAQARAH (2)
Whoever recites surah al Baqarah and surah Aali
Imran would go directly near the Ahl ul Bayt on
the day of reckoning under the shade of these two
surahs appearing as clouds.
whoever recites the first 4 verses, the verse of
Kursi with the two following verses, and the three
last verses of surah al Baqarah would never come
across any undesirable event (his family and
property would also remain) safe; Shaytan would
not come near him, and he would never forget the
Holy Quran.
This surah has 286 verses and is a ‘madani’
surah ie. it was revealed in Madinah. It is also
the longest surah in the Holy Qur’an.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has said that whoever
recites the first four verses of surah al-Baqarah,
accompanied by the ‘ayatul kursi’ together with
the last three verses of this surah - and makes a
habit of reciting these verses daily – his life,
property and family will be protected and no evil
shall come upon them. Shaitan will not come
close to him and he will not be from those who
forget Allah (s.w.t.).
AALI IMRAN (3)
See (i) of surah al Baqarah.
If a person recites surah Aali Imran, the merciful
Allah would grant immunity to him from the fire
of hell. If surah of Aali Imran, written on paper
with saffron, is hung around the neck of a woman
whose pregnancy does not last, she would, by
command of Allah, would give birth to a child. If
it is hung on a tree which does not produce fruit
and whose leaves fall down, by command of Allah,
it would produce fruit.
If Aali Imran, written on paper in saffron, is hung
around the neck of a barren woman, she would
conceive and give birth to a child.
If it is hung around the neck, distress and
hardship would go away, ease and comfort come
to stay.
In this surah, there are a total of 200 verses and
it was revealed in Madinah. The Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.) has said that whoever recites surah Ale-
Imran on Friday, then until the setting of the sun,
he will be showered by the Mercy of Allah
(s.w.t.) and the angels will beg for his
forgiveness.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) has also recommended this
surah for those women who are not able to
conceive. The surah should be written using
saffron and then given to her to wear as a
talisman and by the Will of Allah (s.w.t.) she will
conceive.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that if a
person faces hardship in earning his livelihood, he
should write this surah and wear it as a talisman
and Allah (s.w.t.) will increase his sustenance
greatly. The Imam (a.s.) also said that if anyone
recites both surah al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran,
then these surahs will come in the shape of
clouds on the day of judgement to protect him
from the scorching heat.
AL NISA (4)
Whoever recites this surah on every Friday shall
remain safe from the squeezing of the grave.
This surah was revealed in Madinah and has a
total of 177 verses. In ‘tafseer al-burhan’ it is
written that Imam Ali (a.s.) has said that
whoever recites this surah on every Friday, he will

“Who among you remain awake the whole night?”
asked he.
“I do,” said Salman.
“Who among you recite the whole Quran every
day?” He asked.
“I do”, said Salman.
These replies annoyed some of his companions.
One of them said:
“O Prophet of Allah, Salman is a Persian, so in
order to prove his superiority over us, the
Quraysh, he said that he always fast, though we
have seen him eating and drinking water during
day time; we have seen him sleeping in the
nights; we have seen him quiet without uttering a
single word.”
The Holy Prophet said:
“Ask Salman. He will give you the answer.”
Then Salman said:
“I fast thrice in a month. “Whosoever comes with
a good deed for him shall be ten like thereof,”
says Allah; and I join the fasts of the month of
Shaban with the fasts of the month of Ramazan.
In this way I am like him who fasts for the whole
year.
I have heard my beloved friend, the Messenger of
Allah, saying that whoever, after doing wuzu, in a
state of cleanliness, goes to sleep is like him who
remains awake the whole night. So I go to sleep
after doing wuzu. I have heard the Holy Prophet
saying:
“O Ali, your example in my ummah is like surah
Ikhlas; and whoever recites surah al Ikhlas once
has, in fact, recited one third of the Quran, so
whoso recites it 3 times has, in fact, recited the
whole Quran.
Whoso loves you, O Ali, from the bottom of his
heart, his one third belief has perfected, then
makes it known publicly his two third belief has
perfected, and then helps you by deeds his belief
has perfected in full.
By Allah who commissioned me as a true prophet,
O Ali, I swear that if the people living on earth
love you like those dwelling in the heavens, Allah
would not send any one to hell.”
So I recite surah al Ikhlas thrice daily.”
AL FALAQ (113)
Whoso recites, even from early age, every night 3
times surah al Falaq, 3 times surah al Nas, and
100 or 50 times surah al Ikhlas, Allah would keep
him safe from every evil-eye, all ailments that
afflict children, all stomach ailments, low and
high blood pressure; and so long as he keeps
reciting like this he would remain safe from
diseases till he dies.
According to the Imams of Ahl ul Bayt it is better
to recite surah al Falaq and surah al Ikhlas in the
rak-at of witr, in tahajjud.
AL NAS (114)
See (I) of 113.
Whoso recites this surah on any pain-giving part
of the body, the pain would disappear.
Whoso recites this surah before going to sleep he
remains in the protection of Allah till morning;
and there is protection and freedom from grief,
sorrow, and pain for the reciter of this sruah; and
if it is recited in a house, it would remain free
form jinn and evil spirits; and if written text of
this surah is put around the neck of children as
tawiz, they would remain safe from jinn.
