Surah al-Fath (The Victory)
From Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers
There are 29 verses in this surah and it was revealed in Madinah. It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said, 'Whoever recites this surah (al-Fath), it will be as if he was with me when Makkah was conquered and he has pledged allegiance to me.' When this surah was revealed to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), he said, 'Such verses have been revealed to me that are dearer to me than this entire world.'
Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said that those who recite this surah will be counted from among the sincere and true servants of Allah (s.w.t.) and will gain a honourable status in Jannah. In times of war or unrest, keeping this surah in one's possession is a means of protection and safety. Drinking water in which this surah has been dissolved cures any heart problems and protects those who are travelling.
