Gateway To Jannah

Elevate The Scale Of Good Deeds #3

21. Praying the 12 Sunnah Rakats each day:

"Allah will build house in Jannah for whoever is diligent in observing 12 Sunnah rakat (as follows) 4 rakat before and 2 after Dhur, 2 after the Maghrib, 2 after Ishaa, and 2 before Fajr." (Tirmidhi)

22. Praying Fajr then worship until after Sunrise (15-20 min after sunrise):

"Whoever prays Fajr Salaat in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until sunrise, then prays 2 Rakats of Salat has a complete reward of Hajj and Umrah. (the Prophet (Peace be upon him) repeated the word 'complete' 3 times for emphasis) (Tirmidhi)

23a. Reward for Reciting each letter of Holy Qur'aan:

It was narrated that 'Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

"Whoever reads a letter of the Book of Allah will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a tenfold reward. 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." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2910)

23b. Surah Fathiha The Mother of the Qur'an and a cure for every disease:

Abu Sulaiman says that once a group of Companions were in an expedition (ghazwa) when they happened to come across an epileptic person, who was unconscious.

One of the Companions recited Surah Al-Fatiha and blew in his ear. The epileptic person immediately cured. When Sayyidana Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was informed of this, he said:

"It (Surah Al-Fathiha) is "The Mother of the Qur'an" (Umm al-Qur'an) and is a cure for every disease."

[This narration has been recorded by Ath-Thua'lbi from Abu Sulaiman, who narrated it from Muawiya bin Saleh (RA), Tafseer Mazhari 1:31]

23c. Surah Mulk which protects one from the Torment of the Grave:

It was narrated that Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said:

Whoever reads Tabarakallahi Biyadihil Mulk [i.e. Surah al-Mulk] every night, Allah will protect him from the torment of the grave.

At the time of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) we used to call it al-mani'ah (that which protects).

In the Book of Allah it is a surah which, whoever recites it every night has done very well. (an-Nasa'i)

23d. Surah Zilzalah worth half of the Qur'an:

Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas and Anas Ibn Malik (Ra) reported that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,

'Whoever recited Surah Zilzilah (99)would get the reward of reciting half the Qur'an. Whoever recited Surah al Kaafirun (109) would get a reward as if reading aquarter of the Qur'an. Whoever recited Surah al Ikhlas (112) would get a reward as if reading one third of the Qur'an'. (At-Tirmidhi 2818/A)

23e. Surah Iklhas worth a third of the Qur'an:

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said to his Companions,

"Are any of you unable to recite a third of the Qur'an in a night?"

That was difficult for them and they said,
"Which of us is able to do that, Messenger of Allah?"

He said,"[The surah] 'Say: He is Allah, Absolute Oneness, Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all' (112) constitutes a third of the Qur'an.'' (Sahih al-Bukhari 6:61 #534, Riyad as-Salihin by Imam an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1010)

23f. Surah Iklhas recited 200 times daily gets forgiveness of 50 years of sin:

Anas ( RA) reported the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as saying, )
