Surah Inshiqaq

1. Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) said: Whoever recites both these Surahs, al-Infitar and al-Inshiqaq, in his obligatory and recommended prayers there would be no impediment in his affair reaching Allah on the Day of Judgment, and no stopper would stop him, Allah would look at him with mercy until the reckoning of the people would be over.

2. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: Whoever recites Surah Inshiqaq, Allah would save him from the position that his record of deed be thrown behind his back.

Surah al-Inshiqaq (The Bursting Asunder)

This Surah has 25 ayaat and it was revealed in Makkah. The Holy Prophet (S) has said that the one who recites this Surah will not get his book of deeds from his back on the Day of Reckoning.

If written and worn by a pregnant woman, the delivery of the baby becomes easy. However, it is important that after delivery, this Surah should be kept away from her. If this Surah is tied on any animal (eg. camels or horses) then it keeps them safe.

i) Whoso recites this surah, his record of deeds would not be used against him.

iii) If this surah is written on paper and put around the neck of a pregnant woman as a tawiz, she would deliver the child easily without delay; but as soon as the child comes out the tawiz should be removed at once because this surah would take out every thing from her inside.

If this surah is written on paper and hung as a tawiz for the protection of cattle they would remain safe from all calamities; if it is hung on the wall of a house it would remain safe from wild animals.
