Benefits of Surah Waqiah. Dear Brother’s and Sister’s, I want to write about the benefits of reciting and knowing Surah Waqiah. First of all just reciting and reading Quran has so much benefit in it. The Prophet(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah(good deed) from it, and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is a letter , rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” (At-Tirmidhi). So with this being mentioned everyone should try to incorporate Quran in their lives and learn from it. Just try it at least once and slowly build upon it. The religion of Islam is powerful so don’t overdo it and burn yourself out, rather take a gradual process to do this. So here is a hadith on the benefits of Surah Waqiah: The Prophet(SAW) said, ‘Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty’ [Ibn Sunni 620] The Prophet(SAW) said, ‘Surah al Waqiah is the Surah of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children’[Ibn Asakir] It is narrated from Ibn Katheer: Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, May Allah be pleased with him was suffering from great illness and that was his final moments, mean while Amirul Mu’min Uthman Ghani Radhi Allahu anhu was there to give him a visit. There conversation went like: Uthman radhi Allahu anhu: what is your illness? Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, May Allah be pleased with him: My sins are all the root cause of my pain {illness}. Uthman radhi Allahu anhu: what is your desire {final desire}? Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, May Allah be pleased with him: I seek the mercy and blessings of my Lord, Allah azza wa jal. Uthman radhi Allahu anhu: may I call a doctor for you? Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, May Allah be pleased with him: the doctors have made me ill. Uthman radhi Allahu anhu: may I send some gift from the Baitul Maal, the government stock? Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, May Allah be pleased with him: thank you, no need. Uthman radhi Allahu anhu: but please let me do that for you. These might help your daughters after you {your death}. Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, May Allah be pleased with him: Do you think that after my death my daughters going to face poverty and hunger? I don’t think so, because I’ve strictly instructed my daughters to recite Sura Waqiah every night. I’ve heard, Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam saying: one who will recite sura Waqiah every night, will never be needy/poor. As you can see that there are many benefits to reciting and knowing this Surah. So to protect ourselves and to prepare ourselves let us try to learn more about Islam and pick up the Quran more often.
