SURAH ZILZAAL:
Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas( R.A.) reports that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)said:
The one who performs 2 rakaats( Nafl salaat) on the eve of Jumua (ie. Thursday evening) after the Maghrib salaat, and in each rakaat he reads Surah Faatiha once & Surah Zilzaal, 15 times, Allah will make easy for him the Sakaraat-ul-maut(pangs of death); and Allah will protect him from the punishment of the grave;and Allah will render easy for him,the Crossing of the Siraat( bridge across Jahannam) on the Day of Qiyaamah. (ASBAHAANI, SUYUTI, KANZUL-UMMAH )
Once a Sahaabi(R.A.) came to Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)and said:
O Rasulullah, Recite to me such a Surah of the Quraan which is brief ,concise and which is comprehensive, which I can read with regularity. Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) read to him Surah Zilzaal and made him memorize it.After completing it this person said:
I take an oath by the Pure Being who has made you Rasul and sent you, I will never read more than this. Thereafter this person went away. Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) after hearing this said twice, This helpless person has attained success. This helpless person has attained success.
With regard to the 2 rakaats of Nafl after the 3 Witr of Esha Salaat:
Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, that whoever recites Surah Zilzaal in the 1st rakaat and Surah Kaafiroon in the 2nd rakaat, Allah Taala will register the reward of the entire nights worship in the record-book of that Muslim.
By reading it 4 times, it is equivalent to the Sawaab of reading 1 Quraan.

SURAH KAHF:
To be read every Jumua; either during the eve(ie. Thursday night) or the day of Jumua( Friday).
Abu Saeed Khudri(R.A.) reports that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that the person who reads Surah Kahf on the eve of Jumua( ie. Thursday night), a Noor is illuminated between him, and the Kaaba. (DAARIMI)
In another narration,it has come that the person who reads Surah Kahf as it was revealed(ie. reads it correctly) , then between his place & Makkah ,a shining light is created for him.
Abu Saeed Khudri(R.A.) reports that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said,The person who reads Surah Kahf on the Day of Jumua, Allah will create a Noor for him (which will remain with him) between the 2 Jumuahs.
It shall become a Noor(light) for the reciter which shall stretch from the earth upto the Heavens.
On the Day of Qiyaamah, this Surah will be a shining Light for its reader.
All the minor sins commited since the previous Friday are forgiven.
One shall be protected from all fitnas(trials) for eight days.
The person who always reads the last 10 ayaats of Surah Kahf, will be protected from Dajjaal,if he appears during his lifetime.In another narration, the person who memorised the first 10 Ayaats of Surah Kahf,will be saved from the evils of Dajjaal.In yet another narration. It appears the person who reads the first 3 ayaats will also be saved from the evils of Dajjaal.
It has come in Naqsh-e- Sulaimani, if a person is in heavy debts;one should recite Surah Kahf thrice on Friday, Insha-Allah, one will get rid of the burden of debt.
In short this Surah, is abundant Noor(Light) for its reciter on the Day of Jumua, till the next Jumua and on the Day of Qiyaamah.
Insha-Allah, we should grasp this Noor by regularly reciting it on Fridays. |
