My dear brothers/sisters, with jobs or no jobs, please make a habit of reading Surah Waqiah daily (only 3 rukus long, takes 5 min) every day/night (preferably after maghrib). Please note that it should be read regardless of your circumstances; in fact the shrewd people read it more in good times than bad. The benefits are listed below in terms of Ahadis (sayings): 1. Ibn Kathir cites a story on the authority of Ibn ‘Asakir from Abu Zabyah that when Sayyidna ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (RA) was lying on his deathbed, Sayyidna ‘Uthman (RA) paid him a visit and the following conversation ensued. ‘Uthman (RA): “What are you suffering from?” Ibn Masud (RA): “from my sins.” ‘Uthman (RA): “Do you desire anything?” Ibn Masud (RA): Yes, Allah’s mercy.” ‘Uthman (RA): “Shall I call a doctor for you?” Ibn Masud (RA): “It is the doctor who has given me the ailment.” ‘Uthman (RA): “May I send you an allowance from the public treasury?” Ibn Masud (RA): “I have no need for it.” ‘Uthman (RA): “Accept it, [please]. You are leaving daughters behind you. It will help them.” Ibn Masud (RA): “You are worried about my daughters that they must not suffer from poverty. I have no such worry, because I have instructed them to recite Surah Al-Waqi’ah every night. I have heard the Messenger of Allah SAW say ‘Whoever recites surah Al-Waqi’ah every night will never suffer from poverty’.” Ibn Kathir, after citing this story from Ibn ‘Asakir, has supported it with other chains of transmitters and other sources. Maariful Quran, Vol-8, pg: 279-280. 2. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty’ [Ibn Sunni 620] 3. The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Waqiah is the Surah of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children’[Ibn Asakir] PS: Refrain from commenting.
