The Benefits of Certain Verses of the Holy Qur’an
Source: Ain-al-Hayat, By: Allama Muhammad Baqir Majlisi
Imam Ar-Ridha’ (as) said Ism al-Azam (the ineffable word) is so close to Bismillah as the white of the eye is to it’s black!
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) said, “To get rid of any ailment reciting Al-Fatiha seven times is sufficient. Even then if there is no relief, then recite the verse seventy times and I guarantee relief from the sickness!”
Imam Hasan Al-’Askari (as) said, “The Prophet of Allah (S) says that Allah has divided the verse Al-Fatiha into two parts. One part for Himself and the other for His creatures. When a person says Bismillahir Rehman ir Rahim, Allah says, ‘My creature has commenced with My Name! I shall complete all his works with felicity!’ When the person says ‘Alhamdu lillahi Rab il Aalimeen’, Allah says, ‘My creature has expressed gratefulness for my Bounties.and therefore I have increased for him the Bounties in this world and the Hereafter!’ Now, when the person says, ‘Ar Rehman ir Rahim’ Allah observes,’ My creature has borne witness to My being Most Beneficient and Merciful! I shall enhance My Rewards for him!’
When the person recites,’Maalike youm id Deen’ Allah says, ‘O ye angels! You must bear witness that the person has accepted that I am the Arbiter of the Day of Judgement. Therefore I shall pardon all his sins on that fateful day!’ Now the person recites, ‘Ayyaka naabudu’, Allah says, ‘You have worshipped me and I shall Reward you for this act!’. The person then recites,’Wayyaka nastaeen’ when Allah responds,’I shall come to your rescue in all calamities and difficulties!” The person now implores, ‘Ehdinus sirat al mustaqeem’ when Allah joins with,’ Whatever you have asked for I have Awarded to you and whatever fears you had I have removed them!’”
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) said, “For any pains and aches recite Al-Fatiha seventy times and the pain will vanish. If Al-Fatiha is recited seventy times over a dead body, there is no wonder if the dead comes back to life!”
A person complained to the Prophet of Islam (S) of acute headache. The Prophet (S) said,’ “Put your hand near the spot where you have the pain and then recite Al-Fatiha and Ayat al Kursi. Thereafter recite the following:
 Çóááåõ ÃßúÈóÑõ Çááåõ ÃßÈóÑõ áÇ Åáóåó ÅáÇø Çááåõ æóÇááåõ ÃßÈóÑõ æóÃÌóáøõ æóÃßúÈóÑõ ãöãøÇ ÃÎóÇÝõ æóÃÍúÐóÑõ æóÃÚõæÐõ ÈöÇááåö ãöäú ÍóÑøö ÇáäøÇÑö  .
“Allah is the most great, Allah is the most great, there is no God but Allah and Allah is the most great, He is higher and greater from what I fear and from what I am causious about and I seek refuge in Allah from the hellfire.”
One person complained of fever. The Prophet (S) said, “Open your collar, put your head in the garment and say the Adhaan and Iqamat and recite Al-Fatiha seven times.” The man did likewise and the fever left him.
The Prophet (S) also said that one who regularly recite the verses Al Baqarah and Aal al-Imran, these verses will provide him shade out through the hot Day of Judgement!”
Imam Zain-ul-’Abidin (as) has said, “The Prophet of Allah (S) has observed,’ Whoever recites the last three verses of the chapter Al Baqarah then he will not suffer any material losses, the Satan will never come near him and the person will never ignore the Holy Book!”
Imam Ar-Ridha’ (as) said that when a person recites the Ayat al Kursi at bedtime he will never get afflicted with paralysis. If he recites this verse after mandatory prayers, he will never suffer from the bite of poisonous insects.
Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (as) has said that if a person recites the Ayat al Kursi once, Allah will remove a thousand calamities from him.
It is narrated that Abu Dharr Ghiffari asked the Prophet (S), “Which is the greatest verse of the Holy Qur’an?” The Prophet (S) said, “The Ayat al Kursi!”
Someone complained of a fever to Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as). The Imam asked him to write the Ayat al Kursi on a plate, wash it with water into a tumbler and drink it.
Imam Musa al-Kadhim (as) narrates that amongst his ancestors heard a person reciting Al-Fatiha and told him, “He has thanked Allah and has been pardoned!” Then he heard the man recite Qul huwallahu Ahad and said, “The person has faith in the Unity of Allah and has become fearless!” When the person recited Inna Anzalna, the Imam (as) said, “The person has borne witness to the Prophethood of Muhammad (S.A) and he has been pardoned by Allah.” When the man recited Ayat al Kursi the Imam (as) said, “Subhan Allah! The person has escaped from the Hell!”
Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) has said that if one has any ailment of the eye, he should recite Ayat al Kursi with full faith and he will be cured of the disease. If a person recites Ayat al Kursi, Qul hu wallah, Inna anzalna eleven times each at dawn, his properties will remain safe.When a person leaves his home for some errand, he should recite Ayat al Kursi, Inna anzalna and Al-Fatiha before starting on his journey. The person will be successful in his errand.
The Prophet of Allah (S) has said, “Whoever recites Ayat al Kursi a hundred times will get reward equal to his prayers offered over a lifetime.”
Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) has said, “If a Muslim knows the benefits of reciting Ayat al Kursi then he will never forget to regularly recite this versae.”
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) has said, “When Allah had revealed Ayat al Kursi, Al-Fatiha, Shahed Allaho annahu la ilaha, Qul Allahumma Malikalmulk then these verses clung to the Firmament and said, “O Allah! Where are you revealing us? These people are sinners?” Allah ordered them to go to the earth and observed, “By My Might! Whoevr amongst the Progeny of Muhammad (S) and their Shi’as recite you, I shall secretly shower My Blessings on them. I shall fulfill seventy wishes of the person every day. I shall accept their penitence despite their having committed many sins!”
Ashjah Salma told to Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as), “I have to pass several times through fearsome wilderness. Teach me a prayer that I negotiate these places safely.” The Imam (as) said, “Keep your hand on the head and recite the Ayat al Kursi”

All these safety measures are there in the Holy Qur’an.Whoever wants help can ask me. One person stood up and asked, “Ya Amir’ul-Mu’mineen (as)! Please do instruct me with thos verses of the Qur’an.” The Imam (as) recited two verses,
﴿Åöäøó æóáöíøöí Çááøóåõ ÇáøóÐöí äóÒøóáó ÇáúßöÊóÇÈó æóåõæó íóÊóæóáøóì ÇáøóÇáöÍöíäó﴾
Surely my guardian is Allah, Who revealed the Book, and He befriends the the righteous. (7:196)
﴿æóãóÇ ÞóÏóÑõæÇ Çááøóåó ÍóÞøó ÞóÏúÑöåö æóÇáúÃóÑúÖõ ÌóãöíÚðÇ ÞóÈúÖóÊõåõ íóæúãó ÇáúÞöíóÇãóÉö æóÇáÓøóãÇæóÇÊõ ãóØúæöíøóÇÊñ Èöíóãöíäöåö ÓõÈúÍóÇäóåõ æóÊóÚóÇáóì ÚóãøóÇ íõÔúÑößõæäó﴾
And they have not honored Allah with the honor that is due to Him; and the whole earth shall be in His grip on the day of resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His right hand; glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what they associate (with Him). (39:67)
The man recited these verses and he escaped unhurt from a ferocious fire that had burnt down many houses in his neighborhood.
Another person got up and asked Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as), “Ya Imam! I have a flock of animals. Some of them have the tendency to flee” The Imam (as) said: Recite this verse in the ear of the animals that have tendency to run away from the flock:
﴿æóáóåõ ÃóÓúáóãó ãóäú Ýöí ÇáÓøóãóÇæóÇÊö æóÇáÃóÑúÖö ØóæúÚðÇ æóßóÑúåðÇ æóÅöáóíúåö íõÑúÌóÚõæäó﴾
Is it then other than Allah\'s religion that they seek (to follow), and to Him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they be returned. (3:83)
The person followed the Imam (as)’s instruction and the animals remained docilely in the flock.
One more person got up and asked, “Ya Imam! The place where I dwell there are plenty of wild animals. They enter my barn and harm my domestic animals.” The Imam (as) said, Keep reciting the following two verses:
﴿áóÞóÏú ÌóÇÁóßõãú ÑóÓõæáñ ãöäú ÃóäÝõÓößõãú ÚóÒöíÒñ Úóáóíúåö ãóÇ ÚóäöÊøõãú ÍóÑöíñ Úóáóíúßõãú ÈöÇáúãõÄúãöäöíäó ÑóÁõæÝñ ÑóÍöíãñ. ÝóÅöäú ÊóæóáøóæúÇ ÝóÞõáú ÍóÓúÈöí Çááøóåõ áóÇ Åöáóåó ÅöáøóÇ åõæó Úóáóíúåö ÊóæóßøóáúÊõ æóåõæó ÑóÈøõ ÇáúÚóÑúÔö ÇáúÚóÙöíãö﴾
But if they turn back, say: Allah is sufficient for me, there is no god but He; on Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme! (9:129)
When the man started reciting the verses regularly, the wild animals kept away from his place.
Another person rose and said, “Ya Imam! I suffer from excessive biliousness which is troubling me much. Kindly teach me a verse that I get rid of the ailment.” Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) said: O person! Hear carefully! You will spend neither a Dirham nor a Deenar for this treatment! Write Ayat al Kursi on your tummy wash it down. Also write the Ayat al Kursi on a plate, wash it with water and drink it. Allah will give you cure.
Another person asked, “Ya Imam! My slave has run away. What can I do to bring him back?” Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) said, “Recite this verse:

Or (the Unbelievers\' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light! (24:40)
When the man started reciting the verse, the slave returned home by himself.
Another person asked, “Ya Imam! Kindly instruct me with a verse to guard against thieves and burglars.” The Imam (as) said: When you go to bed, recite the following two verses. Your property will be safe:
﴿Þõáú ÇÏúÚõæÇ Çááøóåó Ãóæú ÇÏúÚõæÇ ÇáÑøóÍúãóÇäó ÃóíøðÇ ãóÇ ÊóÏúÚõæÇ Ýóáóåõ ÇáÃóÓúãóÇÁõ ÇáúÍõÓúäóì æóáÇ ÊóÌúåóÑú ÈöóáÇÊößó æóáÇ ÊõÎóÇÝöÊú ÈöåóÇ æóÇÈúÊóÛö Èóíúäó Ðóáößó ÓóÈöíáÇð. æóÞõáú ÇáúÍóãúÏõ áöáøóåö ÇáøóÐöí áóãú íóÊøóÎöÐú æóáóÏðÇ æóáóãú íóßõäú áóåõ ÔóÑöíßñ Ýöí Çáúãõáúßö æóáóãú íóßõäú áóåõ æóáöíøñ ãöäú ÇáÐøõáøö æóßóÈøöÑúåõ ÊóßúÈöíÑðÇ﴾
Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent Allah; whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these. And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him). (17:110-111)
Then Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) said: If a person is in a wilderness in the night, he should recite the Ayat Sakhra and angels will guard him and the satans dare not come near him. The ayat is,
﴿Åöäøó ÑóÈøóßõãú Çááøóåõ ÇáøóÐöí ÎóáóÞó ÇáÓøóãóÇæóÇÊö æóÇáÃóÑúÖó Ýöí ÓöÊøóÉö ÃóíøóÇãò Ëõãøó ÇÓúÊóæóì Úóáóì ÇáúÚóÑúÔö íõÛúÔöí Çááøóíúáó ÇáäøóåóÇÑó íóØúáõÈõåõ ÍóËöíËðÇ æóÇáÔøóãúÓó æóÇáúÞóãóÑó æóÇáäøõÌõæãó ãõÓóÎøóÑóÇÊò ÈöÃóãúÑöåö ÃóáÇ áóåõ ÇáúÎóáúÞõ æóÇáÃóãúÑõ ÊóÈóÇÑóßó Çááøóåõ ÑóÈøõ ÇáúÚóÇáóãöíäó﴾
Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods of time, and He is firm in power; He throws the veil of night over the day, which it pursues incessantly; and (He created) the sun and the moon and the stars, made subservient by His command; surely His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds. (7:54)
One person, who had heard this, happened to stay in a wilderness in the night. He did not remember the verse. Two satans cam to him. One shut his mouth to stop him from reciting the verse and the other said, ‘Don’t gag his mouth! Give him some time!’ The man suddenly remembered the verse and recited it. The angels immediately appeared and stood in guard around him and stayed with him till the morning. The man went to Amir’ul-Mu’mineen (as) and said, “Ya Imam! I found your instruction right!” He recounted his experience of the night. He said, “I went to the place after the sunrise and found the footmarks of the Satans who dragged away from there.”
Amir’ul-Mu’mineen (as) said that those who are exposed to the dangers of drowining in the high seas, should recite the following verses to have safe voyages:
ÈöÓúãö Çááøóåö ãóÌúÑóÇåóÇ æóãõÑúÓóÇåóÇ Åöäøó ÑóÈøöí áóÛóÝõæÑñ ÑóÍöíãñ ÈöÓãö Çááåö Çáãóáßö ÇáÍóÞøö ÇáãõÈíäö
And he said: Embark in it, in the name of Allah be its sailing and its anchoring; most surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful. (11:41)
. æóãóÇ ÞóÏóÑõæÇ Çááøóåó ÍóÞøó ÞóÏúÑöåö æóÇáúÃóÑúÖõ ÌóãöíÚðÇ ÞóÈúÖóÊõåõ íóæúãó ÇáúÞöíóÇãóÉö æóÇáÓøóãÇæóÇÊõ ãóØúæöíøóÇÊñ Èöíóãöíäöåö ÓõÈúÍóÇäóåõ æóÊóÚóÇáóì ÚóãøóÇ íõÔúÑößõæäó
And they have not honored Allah with the honor that is due to Him; and the whole earth shall be in His grip on the day of resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His right hand; glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what they associate (with Him). (39:67)

It is narrated that Omer bin Hanzala came to the presence of Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) and complained of a headache. The Imam (as) said: Put your hand at the spot you feel the pain and recite the following verses,

Say: If there were with Him gods as they say, then certainly they would have been able to seek a way to the Lord of the Throne!. (17.42)
﴿æóÅöÐóÇ Þöíáó áóåõãú ÊóÚóÇáóæúÇ Åöáóì ãóÇ ÃóäÒóáó Çááøóåõ æóÅöáóì ÇáÑøóÓõæáö ÑóÃóíúÊó ÇáúãõäóÇÝöÞöíäó íóõÏøõæäó Úóäúßó õÏõæÏðÇ﴾

The Imam (as) further said: If one is suffering from an ailment, and doesn’t take help from this verse, then he is a denizen of the Hell.
Also said: If your believe in Allah and the Day of Judgement, then after the mandatory prayers don’t forget to recite Sura al-Iqlas. Allah will pardon the sins of your forbears and your offspring.
Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) has said: A person who recites the Sura al-Iqlas eleven times after the mandatory morning prayer, the Satan cannot make him commit a sin even if he tempts the person a hundred thousand times.
Also Amir’ul-Mu’mineen (a.s..) said, “When a person recites the verse in the night, Allah will depute fifty thousand angels to keep vigil the whole night.”
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) has said, “When a person reads Sura al-Iqlas it is like reading a third of the Qur’an, a third of Torah, Injeel and Zaboor.”
Also the Imam (as) said, “Allah has subjugated fever to Lady Fatima Zahra (as) in lieu of the Garden of Fadak. Therefore if a friend of the Ahl-ul-Bayt recites Sura al-Iqlas a thousand times and blows over a person suffering from high fever, the person will recover with Allah’s Help.”
Imam Ar-Ridha’ (as) has said, “If one sits near a sick person, recites Surat Al-Fatiha, Al Iqlas, Qul Aooz berabinnaas, Qul Aoozo berabbil falaq and touches the face of the ailing person, Insha Allah, the sickness will vannish.”
Surat Al Kaaferoon
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) has said, “When a person recites Surat al Kaaferoon and Iqlas during the mandatory prayers, Allah will pardon his parents and siblings. If he is a callous(Shaqi) person, Allah will remove his name from the roster of such persons and put him on the list of the virtuous. Allah will give him felicity in the worldly affairs, he will die the death of a martyr and will be raised a martyr on the Day of Reckoning.”
Surat Al Mauzateen
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) say, “There are two verses, an Naas and Falaq, that when they were revealed, the Prophet (S) was having fever and this verse was used as an amulet for him and he recovered.”
Surat Ad Dahr
Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (as) has said, “Whoever recites this verse on the morning of Thursdays, Allah will grant to him in the Heaven a group of eight hundred virgins and four thousand houris. The person will be in the company of the Prophet (S).”
Imam Ar-Ridha’ (as) has said that it is a fact that there will be effect of bad eyes. A person can set a bad eye even on himself. Therefore to prevent against the effect of bad eyes one should recite thrice the following:
ãóÇ ÔóÇÁó Çááåõ áÇ ÞõæøóÉó ÅáÇø ÈÇááåö ÇáÚóáöíøö ÇáÚóÙöíãö .
Allah’s will prevails and there is no might but the Most High, the Great.
When one has the fear of bad eye affecting him, he should recite the verse Mauzatain while going out.
