The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said, “I will teach you a Surah which is the greatest Surah in the Qur'an…”

The Greatest Surah in the Qur’anThe Greatest Surah in the Qur’anThe Greatest Surah in the Qur’anThe Greatest Surah in the Qur’an

He said, “Al-Hamdu-Lillah Rabbi-l-Alamin which is Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani (seven repeatedly recited

Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me.”  

[Sahih Bukhari, Book #60, Hadith #1]5

www.dremali.com

Narrated Ibn Abbaas (radiyAllahu anhu):

“While the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) was sitting with Jibreel (alayhi assalam), he heard a creaking sound above him. Jibreel looked up and said,

“This is the sound of a gate that has been opened in heaven today and has never been previously opened.”

Then an Angel descended through it and came to the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) and said,

• “Rejoice in the good news of two lights that have been given to you such as no prophet before you has been given.

• [They are] Surah al-Fatihah and the concluding [two] Ayat of Surah al-Baqarah. You will never recite a word from them without being given the blessings they contain."

[Sahih Muslim]

When he says, ‘Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have favored, not of

those who earned Your anger, nor of those who have gone astray’

When he says, ‘the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful,’

When he says, ‘Master of the Day of Judgment,’

When he says, ‘You alone we worship and You alone we seek for help,’

Therefore when the slave says,‘All praises and thanks are due to

Allah, the Lord of the universe’,

Allah says, ‘My slave has praised Me.’

Allah says, ‘My slave has glorified Me.’

Allah says, ‘My slave has related all matters to Me.’

Allah says, ‘This is between Me and My slave and My slave shall

have what he requested.’

Allah says, ‘This is for My slave and My slave

shall have what he asked for.’
