Hadith of the Day

Ibne-'Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Surah Idha zulzilat (Zilzal:99) is equivalent to half of the Qur'an; Surah Qul huwal lahu ahad (ikhlas.112) is equivalent to one third of the the Qur'an; and Surah Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun (Kafirun:109) is equivalent to a quarter of the Qur'an. (Tirmidhi: 2894)   Note: The Qur'an describes the life of a man in this world and in the Hereafter and Surah Idha zulzilat describes the Hereafter in a very effective manner. Therefore, this Surah is equivalent to half of the Qur'an. Surah Qul huwalldhu ahad is equivalent, to one third of the Qur'an, as in the Qur'an there are three fundamental topics i.e. historical events, commandments, and the Unity of Allah. This Surah describes very beautifully the Oneness of Allah Subh'anahu wa Ta'ala. Surah Qul ya Ayyuhal Kafirun, is equivalent to one-fourth of the Qur'an, on the understanding that there are four subjects dealt with in the Qur'an; namely the Oneness, (of Allah), Prophethood, Commandments and historical events. And this Surah carries an excellent description of the Oneness of Allah Subh'anahu waTa'ala. According to some Islamic scholars, these three Surah are equivalent to half, one-third and one-fourth of the Qur'an respectively; meaning thereby that the reciter of these Surahs will get the reward of half, one-third, and one-fourth of the Qur'an respectively.
