This Surah was revealed in Makkah and it has 88 verses. In the commentary of Majma’ul Bayan it is written that the reward for reciting this Surah is equal to the weight of the mountain of Prophet Dawood (a.s.). Allah (S.w.T.) inspires the reciter of this Surah to avoid every type of sin – big or small.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) has said that the reward for reciting Surah Saad is compared to the reward given to the Holy Prophets and the one who often recites this Surah will be taken to Jannah along with his family and loved ones; to such an extent that even those servants of his whom he loves will be with him in Jannah.

If this Surah is placed under the tyrant ruler, his reign will not last for more than three days before people will see his true nature and will start hating him. This will eventually lead to his downfall.
