Surah Al Araf

Surah Al-A'raf is the seventh chapter of the Qur'an and has 206 verses. It is a Meccan surah.

It is reported from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.), that whoever recites this surah once a month, he will have no worry or fear on the Day of Resurrection and if it is recited on a Friday, then the reciter will be from among those who will be exempted from the taking of accounts on the Day of Judgement.

Surah al-A’araf has the ayaat al-muhkamaat that will give witness on behalf of its reciter on the Day of Reckoning. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has said that there will be a veil between the reciter of this surah and Iblees (Shaitaan) on Judgement day and the reciter will be in the company of Prophet Adam (a.s.)

Writing this surah with rose water and saffron and keeping the writing at all times ensures safety from enemies and wild animals.

Whoso recites this surah every month would be on the day of judgfement, among those about whom verse 35 of this surah says:

“No fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.”

If this surah is recited on Friday, the reciter would not be examined on the day of reckoning.

This surah would be a witness for the reciter on the day of judgement.

On the day of judgement Allah would hang a curtain between the reciter of this surah and Shaytan, and he would be treated as the companions of prophet Adam.

Whoso writes this surah with rose water and saffron on paper and hangs it around his neck, so long it remains there, no carninvorous animal would touch him.

Whoso recites this surah every month hypocrisy would not touch him, and the reciter would be accepted as the shiah of Imam Ali.

1) If worn, then safe from enemies and wild animals

2) Once a month recitation – no fear on Qiyamah

3) Veil between shaitan and reciter.
