Merits of Sūrat al-Burūj

  1. From Ubayy ibn Kaʿb, that the Prophet said: ‘Whoever recites this surah, God will grant them reward equivalent to the number of every Friday and every Day of ʿArafah that occurs in this worldly life, ten good deeds [for each].[1]
  2. From Yūnus ibn Ẓibyān, that Imam al-Ṣādiq (a) said: ‘Whoever recites By the sky with its houses in their obligatory prayers – since it is the surah of the prophets – they will be gathered and shall stand on the Day of Judgement with the prophets, messengers, and the righteous.’[2]

Naturally, such merits can only be for the one who has taken heed of the surah’s lessons.
