Today, we tread upon a path that many before us have sought – the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment and physical wellbeing through the recitation of Surahs for wealth. We remind ourselves that wealth in Islam is not merely a material possession; it is a blessing granted by Allah s.w.t., which comes with great responsibility. It should be used wisely, generously and justly, in a manner that contributes to our spiritual elevation and brings us closer to Him.
Among the chapters of the Holy Quran that have been extolled for their grace is Surah Al-Waqiah. This Surah is known among the faithful for its divine promise of abundance and affluence to those who recite it with sincerity and understanding.
But before we delve more deeply into the essence of Surah Al-Waqiah, let’s remember: the pursuit of wealth is not an end in itself. It is, instead, a means towards a higher purpose – serving Allah, aiding His creation, and promoting goodness throughout our community. It is in embracing this perspective that we find true spiritual and material wealth.
Hadith about Surah Al-Waqiah
Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud radhiyallahu anhu reported that our beloved Nabi ﷺ said: “Whoever recites Surah al-Waqiah every night, he will never be afflicted by poverty. And Ibn Masood radhiyallahu anhu used to order his daughters to read it every night.” (Shu’ab al-Iman).
Benefits of Surah Al-Waqiah
Surah Al-Waqiah has numerous benefits and blessings associated with its recitation. Here are some of the significant benefits:
- Financial Stability: this surah is believed to bring financial stability and prosperity to those who recite it regularly[2]. It is referred to as the “Surah of Wealth”[2], and reciting it daily is believed to increase financial well-being[1].
- Protection from Poverty: The Surah emphasizes the favor and bounties bestowed by Allah upon believers[3]. Reciting this surah can protect against poverty and bring abundance and prosperity into one’s life[4].
- Spiritual Reflection: Surah Al-Waqiah encourages reflection on the afterlife and the consequences of one’s actions[5]. It serves as a reminder of the temporary nature of worldly possessions and the importance of focusing on the eternal life to come.
- Divine Rewards: The Surah highlights the different types of people and their eventual rewards in the hereafter[5]. It emphasizes the importance of leading a righteous life and striving for the highest rank and position in the eyes of Allah.
It is important to note that while this Surah is associated with various benefits, the primary purpose of reciting any Surah of the Quran is to seek the pleasure of Allah and gain spiritual closeness to Him.
