بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Islam is a faith that is flexible, lenient and merciful. Infact, Islam is mercy for the entire creation, especially if we reflect on one of the biggest gifts - *"the gift of Quran"*

Slaves of Allah!

Quran is Allah’s greatest gift to humanity – it is a book like no other. The Quran guides humankind to high standards of morality and motivate them to strive to be the best human beings possible. Yes. Whenever life becomes too difficult or we are beset by injury, illness, or unhappiness, Quran will light our way and lighten our burdens. It is a source of solace and ease. It is a mercy to humankind.

From hadith:

Abu hurairah (RA) narrated that the prophet (pbuh) said: *“gather around, for i will recite to you a third of the quran.”* then when people had gathered, the prophet (pbuh) came out and recited surah *“{قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}"* - Qul hu-wallaahu ‘Ahad (Ie - Quran chapter 112) and then went back in. People then said to one another: *“it must have been news from heaven which made him go back in.”* the prophet (pbuh) then, came out again and said: “i have told you that i will recite to you a third of the quran. Verily, it is equivalent to a one-third of the quran.” 📚 Authentic Hadith

Also,

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: ~ A man heard another man reciting, *“{قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}"* - Qul hu-wallaahu ‘Ahad (ie - Quran chapter 112) again and again. The next morning he came to the Messenger of Allah, (pbuh) and told him about it, as if he thought it was not enough to recite only the surah repeatedly. The Prophet said, “By the one in whose hand is my soul, reciting it once (1X) is equal to a one-third of the Quran.” 📚Source: S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 4726

Therefore,

It is evident that one who recites Surah Ikhlas once shall be rewarded for reciting one-third of the Holy Quran.

And,

Surah Ikhlas - ie - *“{قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}"* - is also known as Surah at-Tawheed. Yes. Tawheed means unity. So this Surah is all about explaining the Oneness of Allah which is the first pillar of Islam.

Muslim Faithful!

It is very clear how important frequent recitation of this Surah is. Infact, there are morethan 30 other BENEFITS of reciting this surah, one of which is that - "if you are not into any shirk in any way, Its recitation 10X (ten times) can help you enter Paradise. Yes. And what more could a Muslim ask for!

Evidence:

Hadith narrated by mu’ad ibn anas (RA), the prophet (pbuh) said: “whoever reads surah qul hu-wallaahu ‘ahad ten times, Allah (swt) will build for him or her a house in paradise.” Umar (RA) then said: “then we will increase our recitation of it.” the prophet (pbuh) said: "Allah is more kind and more generous.” 📚 Authentic Hadith
