This surah was revealed in
Makkah and it has 96 ayaat.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has
said that a person who recites
this surah will not be from
among the absent-minded ones.
Poverty does not come near this
person. Imam Muhammad alBaqir (a.s) said that the one
who recites surah al-Waqi’ah
will have a shining face of the
Day of Reckoning. It is narrated
from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.)
that whoever recites this surah
on every Friday, will be from
those whom Allah (s.w.t) loves
and he will be loved by people
also. He will be free from
troubles and poverty and will
be counted from the loyal
companions of Imam Ali (a.s).
Reciting this surah on a dead
person leads to all his sins
being forgiven and if the person
is on his deathbed then he will
die with ease.
Keeping this surah in ones
possession is a means of
increase in sustenance. Imam
Ali Zainul Abideen (a.s) has
narrated that if a person recites
this surah (at night) on the first
night of the lunar month and
then continues to recite the
same surah, increasing the
number of times to coincide
with the date, such that on the
tenth night he recites it ten
times, until the fourteenth
night, then his sustenance will
increase greatly.

of love and gentleness towards
their parents. It is narrated from
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s) that
whoever recites surah BaniIsra’il every Thursday night,
will not die before meeting
