Some Merits of other Surahs & verses

Text and Translation

Thirteenth: Al-Kulayni has reported Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (‘a) as saying, “Surah al-Mulk is the preventing Surah; it prevents from the chastisement in graves etc.”

Fourteenth: Imam al-Baqir (‘a) is also reported to have said: A copy of the Holy Qur’an fell in a sea. When it was taken out, the entire inscription had gone except this holy verse:

اَلَاۤ اِلَى اللهِ تَصِيْرُ الْاُمُوْرُ.

ALAA ILAL LAAHI TASEERUL UMOOR.

Now surely to Allah do all affairs eventually come.

Fifteenth: Shaykh al-Kulayni has also reported the following instruction from Zurarah:

In the second third of one of the nights of Ramazan, You may hold a copy of the Holy Qur’an, open it, put it before your hands, say this supplicatory prayer, and upon accomplishment, pray Almighty Allah for whatever you need:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْۤ اَسْاَلُكَ بِكِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ وَ مَا فِيْهِ وَ فِيْهِ اسْمُكَ الْاَعْظَمُ الْاَكْبَرُ،وَ اَسْمَاۤؤُكَ الْحُسْنٰى،وَ مَا يَخَافُ وَ يُرْجٰىۤ اَنْ تَجْعَلَنِىْ مِنْ عُتَقَاۤئِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ.

ALLAAHUMMA INNEE AS-ALUKA BIKITAABIKAL MUNZALI WA MAA FEEHI WA FEEHISMUKAL A'ZAMUL AKBAR, WA ASMAA-UKAL HUSNAA, WA MAA YAKHAAFU WA YURJAA AN TAJ'ALANEE MIN U'TAQAA-IKA MINAN NAAR.

O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your revealed Book and what is in it - and in it is Your Greatest, Most Great Name and Your Most Beautiful Names - and in the name of what is feared and hoped for, to make me one of those whom You free from the Fire.
