Reward of reciting Surah Najm

AL NAJM (52)

i) Whoever recites this surah regularly would command respect from the people and be a very popular figure, they praise and glorify him. Allah would credit him with virtues ten times the number of those who had testified the Holy Prophet.

ii) Whoever writes this surah on a lion’s skin and

wears it around the neck as a tawiz would face boldly the men-in-authority and stand his ground before them; would always have an upper hand over Shaytan; his opponents would be over powered and defeated with the power Allah that He would give him.
