Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiSuratul - Baqarah (ii) and suratul all - Imran (iii)
Hadrat Abu Umama (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that he heard ALLAAH’s Messenger say, Recite the QURAAN for on the day of resurrection, it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it. Recite the two shinning ones Surah al-Baqrah and Surah Al-lmran for on the day of resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades or two flocks of birds in ranks pleading for those who recite them.
Recite Surah al-Baqara, for using it produces blessing and abandoning it produces regret and the slothful are unable to recite it. [Mishkat]
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAAH’s Messenger said, “Do not make your houses graveyards. The devil flies from the house in which Surah al-Baqara is recited. (This means that just as Zikr and recitation of the Holy QURAAN is forbidden in a graveyard and the atmosphere of the graveyard is devoid of the blessings of Zikr and recitation of the Holy QURAAN; your houses should not be made like this, but you should remember ALLAAH and recite the Holy QURAAN in your houses). [Mishkat]
