7:34:8 2018-04-21 3720

Some actions are to be performed after the completion of every compulsory prayer and these are called Ta’qibaat. Out of the numerous actions that have been recommended, there are a few verses of the Holy Qur’an that have also been prescribed and carry much reward if recited after the daily prayers.

The following is a list of the verses that should be recited and a note of the reward gained for the recitation of each one.

1. Ayah ash-Shahada (Surah Ali-’Imran: 18-19)

In the commentary of Majma’ul Bayaan, it is narrated from the Holy Prophet that those who recite this verse make a covenant with Allah (S.w.T.) and Allah always fulfils His covenants. If this verse is recited after every prayer, then Jannah (Heaven) is guaranteed to the reciter.

2. Ayah al-Mulk (Surah Ali-’Imran: 26-27)

It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (S) once advised one of his companions, who was in debt, to recite this ayah after every prayer and then supplicate to Allah (S.w.T.) for the repayment of his debts saying that even if the debts are equal to the entire land on Earth, they will be repaid.

3. Ayah al-Kursi (Surah al-Baqarah: 255-257)

It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that there is no barrier between the person who recites this ayah after every prayer and Jannah except for death ie. he will be taste the pleasures of Jannah immediately after his death, and only that person will be able to recite it who is pious and righteous.

4. Ayah al-Madhkurah (Surah ar-Rum: 17-22)

Whoever recites this after every compulsory prayer will get a reward equal to drops of rain and grains of sand. The Holy Prophet (S) has highly recommended the recitation of this ayah especially during the early morning and evening times.

5. Ayah as-Sakhrah (Surah A’araaf: 54)

This should also be recited after every prayer. The benefit of reciting this ayahis that it acts as a protection from Shaitan. It is said that the one who recites this ayah is protected against the plots of Shaitan even if he is alone in the desert.

Other recitations are also recommended, for example, it is said in a narration that whoever recites Surah at-Tawhid after prayers will wed a Hur-ul-Ein in Jannah. It is recommended that Surah at-Tawhid be recited ten times after every prayer and this leads to being forgiven be Allah (S.w.T.) and being blessed with the good of this world and the hereafter.

For the sake of brevity, here is a list of ayaat and Surahs that are also recommended to be recited after prayers:

a) Surah al-Ahzaab: 56

b) Surah al-Baqarah: 285-286

c) Surah al-Kahf: 109-110

d) Surah as-Saffaat: 1-10 and then the last three ayaat.

e) Surah ar-Rahman: 33-36

f) Surah al-Hashr: 21-24

g) Surah al-An’aam: 1-3

h) Surah al-Falaq, an-Naas, ar-Rahman al-Qadr, al-Fatehah, Ya Sin, al-Waaqiyah, al-Mulk, ad-Dahar and an-Naba are all recommended.
