Surah Takathur

On the virtue of reciting the Surah, a tradition from the Prophet (S) says:

"He who recites it, Allah will not account the bounties he was given in the world and He will award him such a reward as if he had recited one thousand verses (of the Qur'an).

A tradition from Imam Sadiq (as) denotes that

“The recitation of this Surah in the obligatory and optional prayers has a reward similar to Martyrdom.”

It is obvious that these total rewards are for the one who recites it, practices it in his daily life and harmonizes his mind and soul with it.

*The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that whoever recites this Surah before going to sleep at night will be saved from the torments of the grave. If this Surah is recited in faraa’idh prayers, the reciter will get the reward of a hundred martyrs.

If recited in the nawafil prayers, he will get the reward of fifty martyrs.

*It is especially recommended to recite Surah at-Takathur in the ‘Asr prayers and the person who does this remains under the protection of Allah until the day ends. Recitation of this Surah is a cure from headaches.
