4 Quls In context of Hadith

There is a narration from Abu Dawood: Once, The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said, “O Ibne Abbas, shall I tell you about the best protection?” Ibne Abbas replied, “yes, The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.).”

The Prophet Said, “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak.” and ‘Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.’ It is included in these two surahs.”

Ayesha (May Allah pleased with Her) narrated that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) used to recite Surah Al-Akhlaas, Surah Al-Falak, and Surah An-Naas before bedtime. Afterwards, He would blow onto His hands and gently rub them over His body, beginning with His head, face, and Front. He would repeat it thrice. (Source Bukhari). It is also narrated that The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) used to recite Surah Muzammil in night prayers.

Surah Al-Kafirun

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed,”Recite Surah Al-Kafirun before going to sleep as it is a protection from the Shirk.”
Reciting and reading this surah makes the whole night safe for the believers. Muslims also believe that a person who dies after reciting this surah dies as a martyr.

Surah Ikhlas

Abu Saeed narrated that a man repeatedly heard another man reciting Qul ho wallah ho Ahad. The next day, He came to Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and told Him about that Zikr. He thought that the Zikr needed to be longer. But the Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) said: “By the One in whose hands is my soul this zikr is one third of the Holy Quran.”

On another occasion, The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) told the Sahaba (R.A), “One who recites Qul ho wallah hu Ahad ten times, Allah will bestow him a home in paradise.” Surah Yaseen is another Surah that is a great blessing for a person who wants to research Islam.

Surah Al-Falak

It is narrated that The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Whoever recites Surah Al Falak and Surah An-Nas during the month of Ramadan in any of the prayer; It is as he has fasted in Makkah and he will get reward equal to Umrah and Hajj.”

Surah An-Naas

Reciting Surah Falak and Surah An-Nas before bed keeps you safe from the evils of the devil and Jinn.

Reciting Surah Naas and Surah Falak on any part of the body which is in Pain will cause relief.

4 Qul Benefits and Rewards of Reciting 4 Qul Shareef

Protection and Shielding

The combined recitation of four Quls is believed and narrated to create a protective shield around the reciter. Each Surah addresses seeking refuge in Allah from different types of harm, darkness, whispering of evils, or negative influences. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stated that whoever recites Surah Al-Kafirun will never commit shirk, as the sense of the oneness of Allah prevails within them.

Spiritual Strength

The verses of these 4 Quls describe the blessings of having faith in God, the importance of the Islamic religion, protection from evil thoughts and belief in the oneness of Allah. Reciting and reading these 4 surahs gives a person inner satisfaction and boosts spiritual Strength.

Blessings and Rewards

Reciting these 4 Surahs with sincerity and devotion is considered an act of worship. Such acts are believed to attract blessings and rewards from Allah. The more consistently and sincerely one recites the four Quls, the more they earn blessings from Allah in this world and the hereafter.

Purification and Cleansing of Soul

The recitation of Qul Shareef has a purifying effect on the heart and soul of the reciter. By seeking protection from the evils and focusing on the attributes of Allah, the reciter may experience a sense of spiritual cleansing with a pure state of mind.

Easy to Memorize

The four Quls are relatively short chapters of the Holy Quran. These are often recited together, which makes them easy to memorize for the reciter. Memorizing these Surahs allows Muslims to have the set of verses for their regular recitation, even when they are not near the Quran. This facilitates the practice of Zikr (remembrance of Allah) throughout the day.
