Solving problems by reciting Soorah Al-Baqarah

26-4-2013 | IslamWeb

Question:

Assalam ualaykum Is it true according to Holy Quran and authenticated Hadiths that reciting soorah Baqarah helps in solving the problems even bigger than Ohud Mountain?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

We have not come across any specific evidence which states that Soorah Al-Baqarah [Quran Chapter 2] helps in solving problems even if they were like the Mountain of Uhud.

However, it was reported in general that reciting it is a blessing as the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: ''Recite Soorah Al-Baqarah as reciting it is a blessing, and abandoning it is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it." [Muslim]

For more benefit on the virtue of Soorah Al-Baqarah, please refer to Fataawa 1447 and 19497.

Allaah Knows best.
