- It has been reported from the Holy Prophet: ‘Whoever recites Iqtarabat al-Sāʿah every alternate night would be resurrected on the Day of Judgement whilst his face would be [shining] like the full moon. And whoever recites it every night, that is better, and he would come on the Day of Judgement whilst his face would be shining over the faces of all creation.’[1]
Note: Perhaps this narration can be understood in the following way: the light on the person’s face is an indication of the strong faith in his heart which was gained as a result of pondering over the verses of this chapter and acting upon them.[2]
