Surah Fajr

Allah would give him a blessed son who would be a source of comfort to him

Regarding the virtue of studying this Surah, a tradition from the Prophet (S) says:

"Allah forgives the mistakes of whoever recites, Surah Fajr, on the

'Ten Nights',

(i.e., the first ten nights of Zul-Hajj), and it will become a light on Dooms Day for the one who recites it at other times ((of the year)”.

Also, a tradition from Imam Sadiq (as) says:

"Recite Surah Fajr, which is Husain-ibn-Ali's Surah, in your prayers, whether they be obligatory or optional. He who recites it will be with him (Husain ibn Ali) at the same place in Heaven on the Day of Judgement".

Introducing this Surah as Husain-ibn-Ali's Surah may be for the reason that the clear example of the

'serene soul'

as mentioned at the end of the Surah, is Husain-ibn-Ali (as), as the idea has also been cited from Imam Sadiq (as) about the same verses.

Or, perhaps, it is for the same reason that one of the commentaries about the 'Ten Nights' means the first ten nights of Muharram, (the first month of the Muslim new year), which is closely relevant to Husain-ibn-Ali (as).

At any rate, these great rewards and outstanding merits are for the ones who recite the Surah as a preparation for their own self-improvement and self-perfection.

i) Recite this surah in your obligatory and supererogatory salats because it is related to Imam Husayn, so the reciter would be in the company of Imam Husayn on the day of judgement and in paradise.

Moreover, Allah would forgive his sins equal in number to the reciters of this surah, and on the day of judgement a light would be with him. In this world he would remain in the protection of Allah for 24 hours after the recitation.

ii) Whoso writes this surah on paper, and wears it around his neck as a tawiz and sleeps with his wife, Allah would give him a blessed and virtuous son who would be a source of comfort to him.

This written surah as a tawiz can also be put around the neck of the wife.
