Merits
This Surah was revealed in Makkah and has 135 verses. It is mentioned in a narration from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that whoever recites this Surah will get the reward equivalent to the number of companions of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) from the Mohaajereen and Ansaar.
Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that Allah (s.w.t.) befriends the ones who recite this Surah and this person will receive his book of deeds on his right hand. His sins will be forgiven and he will get so much reward that he will be pleased on the Day of Judgement.
This Surah should be recited before war, going before a tyrant ruler and trying to guide a community towards the path of Allah (s.w.t.). If a girl is not getting married and she wishes to get married, she should take ghusl (bath) with water in which this Surah has been dissolved and by the will of Allah (s.w.t.) she will get married.
If a man wishes to get married, he should write verses 131 and 132 of this Surah with saffron and then wear it as a talisman and Inshallah his proposal will be accepted.
