Surah Yousuf

Reward of reciting Surah Yusuf

1. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: Teach Surah Yusuf to your bondsmen, for anywhere Surah Yusuf is recited by a Muslim and taught to his family and those his right hand possess, Allah will ease for him the pain of death and give him such strength that he would not eye with jealousy the strength of anyone else.

2. Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) said: One who recites Surah Yusuf every day or every night, Allah the High, will raise him on the Day of Judgment while his elegance would be like that of Yusuf (a.s.) and he will not be afflicted by the difficulty of the Day of Judgment and he will be of the best of the righteous servants of Allah.

Surah Yusuf

Surah Yusuf has 111 ayaat and was revealed in Makkah. It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (S) said that whoever recites this Surah and teaches his family members how to recite it also, Allah (S.w.T.) will make the final moments before his death (sakaraatul mawt) easy for him to bear and will remove jealousy from his heart.

It has been narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq that whoever recited this Surah daily, he will be raised on the day of Qiyamah with the handsomeness of Prophet Yusuf (a.s.) and he will be protected from the fear and discomfort of this day.
