This is a ‘makki’ Surah and it has 35 verses. Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said that a person who recites this Surah daily, or at least every Friday, will remain safe from all the dangers of this world and the hereafter.

It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that the reward for reciting this Surah is ten times the number of creatures that walk on this Earth and an equal number of sins will be forgiven. Keeping this Surah as a talisman acts as a protection and means of averting all kinds of difficulties.

If a person dissolved this Surah in zamzam water and then drinks it, he will be greatly honoured by the people and what he says will never be rejected. He will also remember everything he hears. It acts as a cure for disease and a protection from the Jinn.
