What does this word mean?
Learn about the immense spiritual benefits of these recitations as narrated by the Ahlul Bayt (AS) and documented in authentic Shia sources.
Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS) said: "Recite Surah Al-Kafirun before sleeping, for it is a declaration of disassociation from polytheism (shirk). Whoever recites it in their obligatory prayers, Allah will forgive them, their parents, and their children."
This Surah is also known as "Al-Munafiqin" (The Surah that expels hypocrisy) and is equivalent to one-quarter of the Quran in reward.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (AS) narrated that the Prophet (SAWW) said: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Ikhlas once, it is as if they have recited one-third of the Quran. Whoever recites it three times, it is as if they have completed the entire Quran."
This Surah contains the purest description of Allah's Oneness (Tawhid) and is a shield against disbelief. It is recommended to recite it 100 times on Fridays.
Imam Ali (AS) said: "The two Surahs of protection (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) were revealed when the Prophet (SAWW) was affected by magic. Jibreel came with these Surahs, and as each verse was recited, a knot was untied until he was completely healed."
Reciting this Surah protects from the evil eye, black magic, envy, and the evil of night. It is especially recommended at Fajr and Maghrib prayers.
Imam al-Ridha (AS) narrated: "Whoever recites Surah An-Nas before sleeping will be protected from the whisperings of Shaytan. The Mu'awwidhatayn (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) are the best protection one can seek."
This Surah protects from evil whispers, jinn, and satanic influences. It is the final Surah of the Quran and seals the divine protection for believers.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) said: "I heard the Prophet (SAWW) say: 'The leader of all verses in the Quran is Ayatul Kursi.' Whoever recites it after every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents them from entering Paradise except death."
Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS) also narrated: "Everything has a peak, and the peak of the Quran is Ayatul Kursi. Whoever recites it once, Allah writes for them 1,000 rewards, forgives 1,000 sins, and raises them 1,000 ranks."
Benefits include: Protection when leaving home, during travel, before sleep, and as a cure for illness. The verses up to "Khalidoon" (2:257) complete the description of Allah's authority and the distinction between light and darkness.
