A brief explanation of "Surah Al-Rahman"
Surah-e-al
Rahman was revealed in Makka and
has 78 verses. It narrates about
every kind of Blessings. It
starts with Allah’s
name“Al-Rahman” and ends also
with Allah’s name “Zul Jalaal-e-Wal
Ikraam”. Allah has narrated and
reminded his servants about His
Blessings by repetition of
verse, “Fabe Ayye Alaae
Rabbekuma Tukazzebaan” 31 times.
Man’s
gratitude towards Allah is not
commensurate with Allah’s
tremendous Mercy. This is the
central theme in this Surah and
also in the whole Noble Qur’an.
Recitation of
this Surah will have immense
effects on the physical, mental
and spiritual well-being on the
listeners also.
This Surah is
regarded as “The Beauty of the
Noble Qur’an”
This is the
only Surah of The Noble Qur’an
in which besides men the jinn
have been directly addressed. It
clearly points out that the
Message of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.S.) and the Noble Qur’an
is meant both for men and jinn.
The Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.S.) said, “For
every thing there is a bride and
the Surah al-Rahman is the bride
of the Noble Qur’an.”
Imam Jaffer
al-Sadiq (A.S.) said,
“Reciting this Surah on Friday
after morning prayers carries
great rewards. Recitation of
this Surah removes hypocrisy
from one’s heart. On the Day of
Judgment, this Surah will come
in the shape of a handsome human
being and will have a very nice
scent. Allah will tell him to
point out those people who used
to recite this Surah and he will
name them. Then he will be
allowed to beg pardon for those
who he names and Allah will
pardon them. If a person dies
after reciting this Surah then
he is considered a martyr.
Writing this Surah and keeping
it makes all difficulties and
problems vanish and also cures
eyes ailments. Writing it on the
walls of a house keeps away all
types of household pests. If
recited at night then Allah
sends an angel to guard the
reciter until he wakes up and if
recited in the day time then an
angel guards him until sunset.”
The benefits
of each and every verse or Surah
of Qur’an can only be achieved
if one reads, ponders over the
meanings, understands and make
every effort to practice in his
or her life.
