 Merits of Srat al-Jinn
This is a Meccan srah.
The surah that opens with the revelation that a group of THE JINN
listened to the Prophet reciting the Quran, believed in it, and so
admonished their own race. It is names after the jinn-kind, whose
account is given in its first part. The surah begins with the account
of what a group of jinn said when they overheard a recitation of the
Quran and realized its truth (verse 1). This is a lesson to the Meccan
Arabs, who are also told that the Prophet can help them only by
delivering the MessageGod is the All Powerful One (verse 16). The
disbelievers are threatened with what they will meet on the Day of
Judgement (verse 23).
It is narrated from Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (a.s.) that frequent recitation
of this surah is a protection from Jinn and the reciter will be in the
company of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) on the Day of Resurrection.
This surah also protects one from the evil actions of an unjust
person. Prisoners secure early release by reciting this surah and
those who recite it properly will never face poverty or starvation.
Keeping this surah in ones possession ensures safety from the
Jinn, victory in debate or confrontation, and safety of possession
and wealth. Debts are also easily paid back.
