Surah al-Homazah (The Slanderer)
This Surah was revealed in Makkah and it has 9 verses. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said that the reward for reciting this Surah can be compared to ten times the number of disbelievers who were present in Makkah.
Reciting Surah al-Homazah in compulsory prayers keeps a person safe from poverty. Sustenance comes towards him. His death will not be of a sudden and terrifying nature. This Surah is also a cure for pain in the eyes and should be recited before blowing gently into the eyes for relief from pain. Keeping this Surah in a talisman around one’s neck acts as a protection from the ‘evil eye’.
