56. Al-Waqi’a

The Rasul of Allah (saw) has said the following in regards to this chapter:

“One who reads the chapter Waqi’a every night will never be afflicted with poverty.”

In the past, many had made it a habit to read the chapters Yaseen, Fath, Waqi’a, Mulk and Naba every night. There is so much benefit in this, it is not possible for me to explain it. 

I can only hope you spare half an hour of your time every night to read these five chapters. Half an hour from twenty-four hours every day is not much considering you will be preparing for your eternal life and strengthening your spirit. May Allah ease this for all of us.
