SURAH AL IKHLAS - QULHU

 

Reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas (Qulhu) provides immense spiritual and worldly benefits, including protection from evil, forgiveness of sins, and a reward equivalent to reading one-third of the Quran.

 Regularly reciting it (10 times) is said to build a house in Paradise, while strengthening one's faith in the absolute oneness of Allah (Tawheed). 

[1] Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 

 “Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad is equal to a third of the Qur’an.” 

 Narrated Jami At Tirmidhi Graded as Hasan (Darussalam)

 [2] Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: 

 A man heard another man reciting: Surat-ul-Ikhlas (The Unity) 

‘Say: He is Allah, the One (112) and he was repeating it. The next morning he came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and mentioned the whole story to him as if he regarded the recitation of that Sura as insufficient On that,

 Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! That (Sura No. 112) equals one-third of the Qur’an.”

 Sahih Al Bukhari

 [3] On the virtue of reciting Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad:

 Abu Darda’ reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:

 Is any one of you incapable of reciting a third of the Qur’an in a night? 

 They (the Companions) asked:

 How could one recite a third of the Qur’an (in a night)?

 Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said:

 “‘Say: He is Allah, One’ is equivalent to a third of the Qur’an.”

 Sahih Muslim

 [4] “Every night before Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam slept on his bed, he put together his hands (as in the du’aa) and blew on it and recited (the surahs of)

 AI-Ikhlaas

 (Qul huwauahu ahad),

 AI-Falaq

 (Qul a’udhu birabbil falaq),

 and An-Naas

 (Qui a’udhu birabbin nas) 

 and wiped those parts of the body that he could (wherever the hand could reach).

 He began with the head, then the face and then the front part of his body.

 This was done thrice”.
