This Surah has 77 ayaat and it is ‘makki’. The Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehi Wasallam) has said that a person who recites this Surah will be taken to Jannah without questioning, provided he believes in the Day of Judgement and the Raising of the Dead (from the graves).

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said that Allah (S.w.T.) will never send His punishment upon any person who recites this Surah every night. The reciter of this Surah will also gain a highly status in the hereafter. The person who writes this Surah and keeps it in his possession will never be harmed by the vermin of this earth.
