multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is a letter , rather
 Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” 
Abu
 Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that when Allah’s Messenger (saw) 
asked Ubayy ibn Ka’ab (radiAllahu anhu), ”Do you want me to teach you a 
Surah the like of which has not been revealed in the Torah, the Injeel, 
the Zabur, nor the Qur’an?”, and also asked what he recited in his 
prayers. He replied Umm-ul Qur’an (Surah Fatihah) the Prophet (salAllahu
 alayhi wasalam) proclaimed, ’By Him in whose dominion my soul is, 
nothing like it has been revealed in the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, 
or the Qur’an and it is seven of the oft-repeated verses in the Mighty 
Qur’an which I have been given’
Anas

Benefits of Ayatul Kursi
 Ayatul
 Kursi is verse, 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah and most beautiful ayat of the 
Qur'an. Surah Baqarah is the leader of the Qur'an and Ayatul Kursi is 
the leader of Surah Baqarah. In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for 
each word there are 50 blessings and good in it. It was narrated that 
Abu Umamah said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Whoever
 recites Ayat Al-Kursi immediately after each prescribed Prayer, there 
will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except 
death.
The
 Holy prophet Muhammad (saw) said: whoever recites the first 4 ayats of 
Surae Baqarah, then Ayatul Kursi and then the last 3 ayats of Surah e 
Baqarah, will not be inflicted with any kind of difficulty in his wealth
 or himself, Satan will not come near him and he will not forget the 
Qur'an.
The
 Holy Prophet (saw) said: Qur'an is a great word, and Surah Baqarah is 
the leader of the Qur'an and Ayatul Kursi is the leader of Surae 
Baqarah. In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for each word there are 
50 blessings and good in it.

 increase light or vision (noor) in the eyes, recite Surae Alhamd once, 
then Ayatul Kursi and then once the following dua:- "U-eedhu nora 
basaree binuril lahi alladhi la yutfaa", "I seek refuge for the light of
 my eyes by the light of Allah(SWT), which does not become 
extinguished". 
Hazrat
 A'isha (RA) states that a person arrived in the court of Rasulallah 
(SAW) and complained that there is no Barakat (Blessings) in anything in
 his home. Rasulallah (SAW) said, “You
 do not recite Ayatul Kursi, whichever Food and Curry you will recite 
Ayatul Kursi on, Allah will give Blessings on that Food and Curry. 
One who recites Ayatul Kursi every morning will be in the protection, safety of Allah until the night.
One who recites Ayatul Kursi every night before go to sleep will be in the protection, safety of Allah until morning.
If a person write Ayatul Kursi on white paper and ties this to chidren neck, they will be safe from Shaitaan.
For
 those of our dear ones who have passed away, recitation of Ayatul Kursi
 & giving it as Hadiya to them, gives them light (noor) in the 
grave.
Frequent recitation makes ones own death easy.
 
Before
 leaving home, if one recites it once, the Almighty has one group of 
Angels to come and protect you. If recited twice, 2 groups of Angels are
 assigned to do this. If recited 3 times Allah tells the Angels not to 
worry as the Almighty himself takes care of him. 
The
 Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has said: If one recites Ayatul Kursi 
before going to sleep, Allah will send an Angel to come and look after 
you and protect you till the morning. His home, family and also 
neighbours will remain in safety until morning.
When
 one is alone in the home, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and asking Allah 
to help will make you remain calm and you will not fear.
The
 Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has said: When leaving home, if one recites
 Ayat ul Kursi the Allah will send 70,000 Angels to do Istighfaar for 
him until he returns home, and upon his return Poverty will be removed 
from him.
One
 who recites it after every prayer, their salaat will be accepted, they 
will remain in the safety of the Almighty and He will protect them.

Benefits of Surat Al-Ikhlas 
This
 surah is one third of the holy Qauran. This surah was revealed in 
Makkah and it has 4 verses. Reciting (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) brings a 
reward equivalent to reciting one-third of the Qur’aan, but it does not 
take the place of reading one-third of the Qur’aan.
It
 is narrated that if a person does not recite this Surah in any of his 
five daily prayers, it is as if he has not prayed. In fact, if a person 
does not recite this Surah in any of his prayers for seven consecutive 
days, and he dies, it will be as if he died while following the religion
 of Abu Lahab.
Surah
 al-ikhlas is a means of forgiveness of sins. the Prophet Muhammad 
(pbuh) said: "whoever reads surat qul hu-wallaahu 'ahad every day two 
hundred times, allah will grant him one thousand five hundred rewards 
and will erase from him the sins of fifty years, unless he has debts."

 Holy prophet (S.A.W) once advised a poor person to always say 'Salaam' 
when entering his house even if there was nobody there and then recite 
Surah At Tawheed, after a little while the man became abundantly 
wealthy.
When
 a person goes to see a unjust man in authority, he should recite this 
Surah 3 times and close the fist and opne the fist when the interview is
 finished.
If this Surah is recited over the eyes of a man suffering eye sore he would be cured.
It
 is makruh to recite this Surah in one breath. This Surah has numerous 
other benefits and is a cure for many ailments. It should be recited 
when travelling or when facing a tyrant ruler.
Who recites Surah Al-Ikhlas 100 times, all his past sins for the past 25years are forgiven.
It is a fortress for protection against every kind of affliction and calamity.
Whoever recites this Surah 1000 times, will not die unless he sees his place in Jannah.
Who recites this surah a hundred times before go to sleep Allah would forgive his sins comitted in forty years.
 
If this surah is recited over the eyes of a man suffering eye-sore he would be cured.
Who does not recite this surah in any of the five salats in a day all his five salats would go waste, rendered null and void.
When
 the Holy Prophet prayed the funeral salat of Sad bin Maz, seventy 
thousand angels were praying with him including Jibrail, because Sad 
used to recite this surah very much, sitting, standing, walking, riding,
 all the time.
Who
 recites this surah ten times while passing by a graveyard for those 
believers buried therein, would earn reward equal the number of buried 
believers.

Benefits of Surat An-Nas
Surah
 An-Nas was revealed in Madinah and it has 6 verses. Narrated by Aishah 
 (RD): Whenever Allah’s Messenger (saw) went to bed, he used to recite 
Surah AL- Ikhlas (112), Surah AL-Falkaq (113) and surah An-Nas (114), 
and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts 
of its body that his hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to
 order me to do like that for him.
Surah
 an-Naas and al-Falaq are together called Ma’udhatayn and whoever 
recites this Surah in his house every night, will be kept safe from 
Jinnaat and the evil designs of Shaitan.
If
 this Surah is put around the neck of a child as a talisman, the child 
will be protected from Jinnat. Reciting the Ma’udhatayn before sleeping 
is a means of safety and if recited on any part of the body that is 
paining, the pain will be relieved.
A’isha
 (radiAllahu anha) reported that whenever the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi 
wasalam) became sick, he would recite Mu’awwidhat (Surat Al-Falaq and 
Surat An-Nas) and then blow his breath over his body. When he became 
seriously ill, I used to recite (these two Surahs) and rub his hands 
over his body hoping for its blessings.

the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that whoever recites Surah Al-Falaq in 
the month of Ramadan in any of his prayers, it is as if he has fasted in
 Makkah and he will get the reward for performing Hajj and ‘Umra. Imam 
Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) said that in the prayer of Shafa’a (in 
Salaatul-layl) one should recite Surah al-Falaq in the first rak’aat and
 an-Naas in the second.

Benefits of Surat Al-Kafirun
Surah
 Al-Kafirun is ‘makki’ and has 6 verses. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
 said that reciting this Surah carries the reward of reciting a quarter 
of the Holy Qur’an. The recitation of this Surah drives away evil and 
keeps one safe from Shirk. 
It
 is also among the five Surahs that have been recommended to be recited 
during a journey, the others being Surah Al-Fatihah, An-Nasr, Al-Falaq 
and An-Naas. Reciting Surah Al-Kafirun and at-Tawhid in compulsory 
prayers is a means for forgiveness of sins for the reciter, his parents 
and his children. If a person dies after reciting this Surah, it is as 
if he has died a martyr. Recitation of this Surah before sleeping keeps 
one safe the whole night.
The
 Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘Recite surah al Kafirun and then go 
to sleep after coming to its end, for it is a clearance from shirk’ If
 recited on a treasure, it remains safe. If a person has many creditors,
 recitation of this Surah will help clear his debts. If recited by a 
person in fear, this Surah brings him to safety; if recited by a hungry 
person, it helps in his finding sustenance; if recited by a thirsty 
person, his thirst will be quenched.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said: “The
 one who recite Ahad Nama regularly and seeks forgiveness from Allah. 
Allah will count that person among those whose Du’a is accepted.” Recitation
 of these verses increases sustenance and protects the life and 
possessions of the reciter. He is liked by people. Ahad Nama also makes a
 person chaste, humble and sincere. Drinking water in which this Surah 
has been written keeps the heart safe from ailments. "Whoever recites Ahad Naamah one in his lifetime, he will be taken away with Imaan [true faith] in his heart."And Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim says that he guarantees that this person will go to Jannah [Paradise].

Tawba
 must be sort and remains wajib (necessary) for every sin committed. In 
 the case of istigfar (seeking forgiveness), a person is making a 
request to Allah (SWT) to help their deeds function as a barrier towards
 future evil. In essence, the individual is asking Allah (SWT) for 
guidance away from wrongful choices. Istigfar with the words of 
‘astagfirullah’ coupled with sincerity helps in this regards.  Thus, 
‘astagfaar’ functions like a duaa. Thus, it can be appropriately stated:
 refusal to make istigfar is tantamount to arrogance. For one is acting 
confidant regarding the unknown future actions of themselves.
 
The
 Prophet (SAW) was asked by some of his companions: “Is Allah near so we
 invoke him or is he far so we call him? So Allah revealed this verse, –
 Allah is near He can hear the supplicant anytime anywhere and respond 
to him if the supplicant invokes Allah with a sincere heart and 
avoid interdiction's of supplication.
 
When
 a person sins and does not do Tawba, his heart darkens (polluted) as he
 commits more and more sins the dirt accumulates on his heart. It then 
becomes a vicious circle, the darkening of the heart leads to further 
sins, and the sins lead to further darkening of the heart. A stage is 
finally reached when his heart is irreversibly polluted and cannot be 
cleansed. Such a heart is referred to in narrations as a black heart.
 
“The
 Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was reciting Istighfar hundred times a day 
and was praying for his Maghfirat (salvation) though he had not 
committed a single sin.” Hazrat Luqmān tells his son, “My dear son! Is not the cock wiser than you? It wakes up before dawn and asks forgiveness but you remain asleep!”

my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You.)
 
Dua
 Aman is very helpful for a person who recites it daily between Maghrib 
and Isha Prayers.(for Safety and Protection) A person in his dream saw 
the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) very sad and the person ask him the 
reason of sadness and he said: that
 during Mehraj he saw many believers being led towards hell and the 
reason was Iman. His umma was very weak in their Iman and He recommended
