Virtues of Reciting Particular Parts of the Qurʾān

Shaykh Abū ʿIyāḍ

A fitting encouragement to recite the Book of Allāh for various benefits.

Abū Umāmah (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites Āyat al-Kursī following every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except dying.”

Ibn Masʿūd (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites the last two verses of Sūrah al-Baqarah in a night, they will suffice him.”

Anas (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recited: (Qul Yā ayyuh al-Kāfirūn) it will be equal to a quarter of the Qurʾān for him, and whoever recites (Qul hu Allāhu Aḥad) it will be equal to a third of the Qurʾān for him.”

Ibn ʿImrān (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites the Qurʾān then let him ask from Allāh by it, for there will come a people who recite the Qurʾān and will the ask the people by it.”

Tamīm al-Dārī (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites (in prayer) with a hundred verses in a night, it will be written for him as devout obedience to Allāh for the night.”

ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites one letter from the Book of Allāh then he will receive a good reward, and every good deed is rewarded with ten times its like. I do not say that Alif Lām Mīm is one word but Alif is one word, Lām is one word and Mīm is one word.”

Abū Saʿīd (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites Sūrah al-Kahf on the day of Jumuʿah, light will be made to shine for him between the two Jumuʿahs (that Jumuʿah and the one following it).”

Muʿādh ibn Anas (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites (Qul hu Allāhu Aḥad) ten times, Allāh will build for him a house in Paradise.”

‘Ubayy (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Whoever recites (Qul hu Allāhu Aḥad), it is as if he has recited one third of the Qurʾān.”
