If surah of Aali Imran, written on paper with saffron, is hung around the neck of a woman whose pregnancy does not last, she would, by command of Allah, would give birth to a child. If a person recites surah Aali Imran, the merciful Allah would grant immunity to him from the fire of hell. Shaitan will not come close to him and he will not be from those who forget Allah (s.w.t.). The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has said that whoever recites the first four verses of surah al-Baqarah, accompanied by the ‘ayatul kursi’ together with the last three verses of this surah - and makes a habit of reciting these verses daily – his life, property and family will be protected and no evil shall come upon them. It is also the longest surah in the Holy Qur’an. This surah has 286 verses and is a ‘madani’ surah ie. Whoever recites the first 4 verses, the verse of Kursi with the two following verses, and the three last verses of surah al Baqarah would never come across any undesirable event (his family and property would also remain) safe Shaytan would not come near him, and he would never forget the Holy Quran. Whoever recites surah al Baqarah and surah Aali Imran would go directly near the Ahl ul Bayt on the day of reckoning under the shade of these two surahs appearing as clouds. recite surah al Fatihah to cure any disease save the deadly disease which is the cause of the inevitable death. While crossing the pul sirat (bridge to paradise) whoever recites bismillahir rahmanir rahim would hear a voice from the flames of the fire, saying: “O believer, your light has put off my heat.” when a teacher teaches bismillahir rahmanir rahim to a child the merciful Allah grants amnesty from punishment to the teacher and parents if they have sinned. Recite 70 times to remove pains and ailments recite 7 times or seventy times keeping the mouth near the forehead and putting the right hand on the forehead of the sick person, then surely recovery is guaranteed recite bismillahir rahmanir rahim to stay away from the burning fire of hell recite bismillahir rahmanir rahim to receive the recompense of four thousand virtues for its every letter, to cancell the punishment of four thousand transgressions and to occupy a position four thousand degrees higher than what you deserve Īs its first verse is nearer to ismi azam (the great name of Allah) than the white from the pupil of the eye there is praise of Allah in the beginning, tawhid (oneness) in the middle and prayer in the end no salat is valid without its recitation it is superior than all the treasures stored in the arsh, (Shaytan runs away whenever it is recited therefore: Imam Ali Ridha (a.s.) said that “Bismillah…” is very close to the chosen name of Allah (s.w.t.).


It is also mentioned that recitation of “Bismillah…” with a loud voice is from the signs of a true believer.

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has also said that when a believer will have to cross the Pul-e-Siraat on the Day of Judgement, and he will say “Bismillah…” then the flames beneath him will start dying down until Jahannam will cry out, ‘O believer, pass through quickly, your presence is causing my fire to die out !’ A person asked for the condition necessary to get this great reward and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) replied that the person should recite the “Bismillah…” with conviction and understanding. It is narrated in Tafseere Burhaan that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has said that when a person recites “Bismillah.” then five thousand ruby palaces are built for him in Jannah Each palace has a thousand chambers made of pearls and in each chamber has seventy thousand thrones of emerald and each throne has seventy thousand carpets made from special fabrics and upon each carpet is seated a Hur-ul-Ein. Apart from being part of every chapter in the Holy Qur’an (except the chapter of repentance ), it is also the most oft repeated verse in the Holy Qur’an. If we were to give an exhaustive account of the benefits of the recitation of “Bismillah…” we would need more than a single volume to do justice to it. The verse of "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim" WHEREVER HE, HIM, HIS, OR MAN APPEARS READ AS HE/SHE, HIM/HER HIS/HER, MAN/WOMAN The benefits and recompense the Almighty Lord bestows on the reciters of the Quranic surahs have been taken on the authority of the Holy Prophet, Imam Ali ibn abi Talib, Imam Jafar al Sadiq and other Imams of Ahl ul Bayt by Ibn Babwayh, Kulayni, Ayashi, Baqir Majlasi, Ali bin Ibrahim et al.
